THE RESILIENCE LAB
BUILD THE PERSON
BEHIND THE UNIFORM.
The Resilience Lab is a private personal-development and training community built for first responders, veterans, and

PRACTICAL TRAINING / REAL CONVERSATIONS / PERSONAL GROWTH
Training for the parts of life the academy never taught you.
WHY THE LAB EXISTS
YOU TRAIN FOR THE JOB.
WHO TRAINS YOU FOR EVERYTHING ELSE?
First responders and veterans receive extraordinary training to perform their jobs.
But there is very little training for the person behind the uniform.
Relationships · Purpose · Identity · Stress · Sleep · Physical Health
Leadership · Communication · Personal Growth · Transition · Life After Service
These things affect how we show up at work, at home and for ourselves. The Lab
brings together practical training, experienced instructors, live conversations and a
private community designed around the realities of service.
THAT'S THE GAP THE RESILIENCE LAB WAS BUILT TO FILL.
A LOOK INSIDE
The Resilience Lab isn't simply a collection of videos.
It's an evolving personal-development and training environment where members
can learn, participate, ask questions, interact with instructors and continue growing.
WHAT'S INSIDE
TRAINING YOU
WON'T GET AT THE
ACADEMY.
The Resilience Lab explores areas that can have an
enormous impact on your career, relationships and life, but
are rarely part of traditional first-responder or military
training.
PERSONAL GROWTH &
PURPOSE
Develop greater clarity around who
you are, what matters to you and
where you're going, both during your
career and beyond it.
RESILIENCE & STRESS
Understand how the job affects you
and develop practical tools for
managing stress, adversity and the
cumulative demands of service
RELATIONSHIPS & FAMILY
Better understand communication,
relationships and the unique pressures
service can place on marriages and
families.
LEADERSHIP
Become more intentional about how
you lead, communicate, influence and
show up for the people around you.
PHYSICAL WELLNESS
Explore sleep, recovery, fitness,
nutrition and other areas that influence
performance and long-term health.
IDENTITY & LIFE BEYOND THE
UNIFORM
Prepare for the reality that someday
the uniform comes off, and make sure
there's still a strong sense of identity,
purpose and direction underneath it.
SPECIALIZED TRAINING
Access instructors, subject-matter experts and conversations on topics members may never otherwise have the opportunity to learn about.
MORE THAN COURSES
LEARN. CONNECT. APPLY.
Members of The Resilience Lab have access to more than recorded training.
01
LIVE SESSIONS
Regular conversations and
training with instructors, experts
and people who understand the
culture
02
PRIVATE COMMUNITY
A place where first responders, veterans and families can exchange ideas, ask questions and learn from one another.
03
CONTINUALLY GROWING
New courses, instructors,
discussions and resources
are continually added to the
Lab
04
PRACTICAL TOOLS
The goal isn't simply to
consume information. It's to
take what you learn and
apply it to your actual life.
OUR APPROACH
RESILIENCE IS BIGGER
THAN CRISIS.
Mental health matters. But The Resilience Lab was not created to be
another mental-health program.
It's about becoming more intentional about your entire life.
Your Health. Your Relationships. Your Leadership.
Your Purpose. Your Identity. Your Future.
The goal isn't simply to get through the job.
THE GOAL IS TO BUILD A LIFE YOU'RE PROUD OF
WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT, AND LONG AFTER IT'S OVER.
YOUR INSTRUCTORS
BUILT BY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE LIVED IT.
GEORGE & AUDRA SICHLER
The Resilience Lab was creted from decades of experience
living on both sides of service.
RETIRED NYPD DETECTIVE
9/ 11 RESPONDER
NYPD MEDAL FOR VALOR, 2008
FIRE SERVICE & TECHNICAL RESCUE
George Sichler is a retired NYPD Detective, 9/11 responder and 2008 recipient of the NYPD Medal for Valor. After 20 years with the NYPD, he has continued teaching and speaking to law enforcement, first responders and other high-performance audiences across the United States and internationally.
Audra Sichler brings more than two decades of experience as the spouse of a first responder, along with her own experience in the fire service and technical rescue.
Together, they bring the perspective of the person wearing the uniform and the family living alongside it
The Resilience Lab grew from their belief that the men and women who dedicate themselves to serving others deserve access to exceptional training and resources for building their own lives as well.
THEN & NOW
WE'VE LIVED
THIS LIFE TOO.
THE UNIFORM CAN BECOME PART OF YOUR IDENTITY.
The schedule affects your family. The calls come home with you. The experiences accumulate. Careers change. Kids grow up. Eventually, the uniform comes off.
Through all of it, you still have a life to build.
That's one of the reasons The Resilience Lab exists.
This is a Paragraph Font
WHO IS THE LAB FOR?
BUILT FOR THOSE WHO SERVE, AND THE
PEOPLE BESIDE THEM.
FIRST RESPONDERS
Law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, corrections and other public-safety professionals.
VETERANS & MILITARY
Those currently serving,
transitioning from service,
or building the next chapter afterward.
SPOUSES & FAMILIES
Because service doesn't
affect only the person
wearing the uniform.
ORGANIZATIONS & AGENCIES
Departments and
organizations looking to
provide their people with
personal-development and
resilience training beyond
traditional job-specific
education.
