Take Charge of Your Career
Sheila Hanna-Wiles, APCO International
Institute
In this session we’ll investigate the many
career opportunities in the field of public
safety communications. There is opportunity
for advancement within your center. No more
money, no problem. Lateral career moves
create an excellent opportunity to expand your
knowledge and skill sets, positioning you for
future advancement. Remember… Knowledge
is power! We will also explore the world of
opportunities outside the walls of your agency.
You can walk away from this session, head up

leadership will leave attendees of all ranks with
ideas on how to translate the habits of man’s
best friend into the human world. During this
session, attendees will discuss how individual
behavior effects group interactions, outline
ways to avoid the pitfalls of negativity, and
discover the six traits of effective leaders.
