Ditch the Drama and Fight Fire with Focus with Guest Greg Kruger

David speaks with guest Greg Kruger, founder and leadership coach at Forgotten Truth Coaching, who specializes in the connection between neurology and physiology.

In this episode, David speaks with guest Greg Kruger, founder and leadership coach at Forgotten Truth Coaching, who specializes in the connection between neurology and physiology. We discuss the crucial role of language under pressure, especially for firefighters on the front lines, and explore how the words you choose can influence not only your communication but also the outcomes of high-stress situations.

We will highlight mastering your breath so that you can directly influence your nervous system and emotional state. Discover the power of “choice” vs. “obligation” and how shifting your language can foster clearer connections with your team. This conversation will redefine how asking for what you want can enhance your performance and decision-making in the heat of the moment.
