EP 22: First Responder Resilience with Chris Chandler-Yates

My guest today Chris C-Yates, is a former police officer and the host of the Fight the Burnout Podcast.
Chris is a qualified NLP practitioner and life coach. He’s passionate about making sure you don't burnout by learning your true internal purpose and true identity so your life serves you instead of you always serving it..

In 2017, after a career as a NZ Police Officer, that culminated in VIP protection, he realised that he wasn’t fulfilled in the way he needed to be and so made a massive life shift. After diving into self-development and realising his greater purpose, for the past three years, he’s worked with current and future police officers on becoming prepared for the job and the best version of themselves they can be. All by first identifying their real identity and internal driving purpose.

Chris runs Knocking Demon LTD and Knocking Demon Fitness and is passionate about helping burnt out humans reconnect with their WHY to create a life of joy.

Resilience is being able to evaluate and analyze yourself so that you can do the best that you can. Chris

Sometimes resilience is setting back and doing nothing and sometimes is driving through that wall. - Chris C-Yates
