Tell Silouan About Your Organization

“Silouan was a great partner to work with! He definitely exceeded our expectations! PTSD is a sensitive and very misunderstood subject so it was nice to be able to bring in an expert who could shine a positive light on the issue as well as motivate the audience towards engaging with those in the community who may be currently suffering. I would highly recommend Silouan Green to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging speaker!” Jenny Johnson, Ball State University

Speaking and Training Programs

Leadership Under Pressure

Pressure can cause leaders to become reactive, isolated, overly controlling, or hesitant to address difficult issues.

This program helps leaders remain grounded, communicate clearly, build trust, and balance accountability with genuine connection.

Participants explore:

Remaining clear and composed under pressure
Understanding the human burden of leadership
Building trust before a crisis
Creating accountability without destroying morale
Communicating during conflict, change, and uncertainty
Knowing the people behind the positions

Ideal for: Chiefs, command staff, supervisors, commissioners, executives, and emerging leaders.

Culture That Holds: Build a workplace people want to protect

Healthy culture is not created through posters, slogans, or occasional morale events. It is created through daily leadership, shared expectations, strong relationships, and consistent behavior.

This program helps organizations identify cultural strengths and weaknesses and begin building greater trust, connection, responsibility, and unity.

Participants explore:

How culture is formed through everyday behavior
The relationship between connection and accountability
Why unresolved conflict spreads
Creating shared ownership of the mission
Rebuilding trust after disruption or change
Turning organizational values into daily practices

Ideal for: Departments, agencies, leadership teams, boards, and organizations experiencing growth, transition, or cultural strain.

Mental Fitness and Resilience: Build strength before the crisis arrives

Resilience is not pretending that stress, trauma, grief, and pressure do not affect us.

It is developing the relationships, habits, perspective, and purpose that help people remain effective, recover, and continue living well.

Participants explore:

The effects of accumulated stress and trauma
Why strong people often struggle in silence
Practical habits that support mental fitness
The protective power of connection and purpose
Recognizing warning signs in ourselves and others
Moving from survival toward healthy growth

Ideal for: First responders, military units, healthcare workers, high-stress professionals, educators, and organizational teams.

Peer Support Is More Than a Crisis Team: Turn peer support into a culture-building force

The strongest peer-support programs do more than respond after critical incidents.

They build relationships, normalize healthy conversations, recognize problems earlier, support families, and strengthen trust throughout the organization.

Participants explore:

Moving from reactive intervention to proactive connection
Selecting and preparing effective peer supporters
Boundaries, trust, confidentiality, and credibility
Supporting peers without trying to become therapists
Engaging leadership and family members
Making peer support part of the everyday culture

Ideal for: New peer teams, established teams seeking a proactive model, supervisors, chaplains, and organizational leaders.

Commissioner and Chief Alignment: Lead from the same table

A healthy relationship between a governing board and its chief executive is essential to organizational stability.

This program helps commissioners, board members, chiefs, and senior staff clarify roles, strengthen communication, build trust, and operate as one leadership team without crossing appropriate boundaries.

Participants explore:

Governance versus operational leadership
Maintaining the proper strategic perspective
Communicating through disagreement
Supporting the chief without micromanaging
Building trust before difficult decisions
Presenting a clear and unified mission to the organization and community

Ideal for: Fire commissioners, district boards, chiefs, executive staff, and public-agency leadership teams.

Anchored and Armored: Strength for those who carry heavy responsibility

This program explores the foundations that help people withstand adversity without becoming hardened, isolated, or disconnected.

Participants are challenged to examine what anchors them, what protects their humanity, and how connection, purpose, faith, responsibility, and service can become sources of lasting strength.

Ideal for: Retreats, conferences, military and first-responder audiences, churches, leadership teams, and organizations seeking a deeply personal and meaningful program.
