Testimonials

"The knowledge and skills I gained from OCL allowed me to absolutely rock a graduate school admissions interview! I'm so grateful for this free, yet invaluable opportunity." Bri Beck, South Carolina Chapter Alumnus
"OCL has given me the skills and the confidence to have (what I used to call confrontational conversations) conflict resolution conversations as well as teach my team to do the same." Amy Van Liew, South Carolina Chapter Alumnus
"Firefighters have repeated exposure to the suffering of others. And the 24-hour shift lifestyle in the close confines of a station can be challenging. Understanding the value of listening is critical within the fire service culture. Our Community Listens gives us the skill set to deal with these issues and take care of one another." Greg Bulanow, Fire Chief/South Carolina Chapter (Charleston) Alumnus
"
Best three days spent with some wonderful people and great instructors. I was amazed at the bond that was formed in such a short period of time. I learned so much about myself and how important my behaviors are toward others.
" Pam Harmon, South Carolina Chapter Alumnus
"This class helped validate who I am and how I function socially, but also helped me to see the great opportunities others bring." Kat Seastrunck, South Carolina Chapter Alumnus
