Leading through challenges
Discover Lighthouse & Campfire, an intentionally designed leadership development experience for safety professionals, operational leaders, instructors, facilitators, supervisors, and field leadership personnel operating in high responsibility environments. Developed and guided by Chuck Dornisch, this unique program offers more than just training.
Our unique approach
Lighthouse & Campfire is a guided leadership development experience for professionals operating in dynamic, high responsibility environments where adaptability, situational awareness, trust, communication, and sound decision-making matter.
Through intentionally designed shared experiences in a relaxed outdoor setting, participants engage in practical, operationally grounded learning focused on leadership, reflection, mentorship, meaningful interaction, and human connection.
Experience-based learning
Our program is built on shared experiences rather than passive instruction. Every activity is intentionally designed to encourage communication, adaptability, teamwork, reflection, situational awareness, and sound decision-making through participation and meaningful interaction.
Learning through participation, conversation, changing conditions, and shared experience.
High responsibility environments
Some environments demand more than technical knowledge alone.
Construction, emergency response, industrial operations, utilities, infrastructure, and other high responsibility environments require communication, adaptability, situational awareness, mentorship, trust, and sound decision-making under changing conditions where the margin for error is often small and people rely on one another.
Lighthouse & Campfire was intentionally designed for professionals operating within these kinds of environments.
Expert guidance
Chuck Dornisch brings more than 25 years of construction safety leadership experience and over 30 years in the fire service operating in dynamic, high consequence environments where leadership, communication, adaptability, and decision-making directly impacted people and outcomes.
Throughout his career, he has served in fire service leadership and Chief Officer roles, worked as a Training Officer responsible for developing firefighters operating in emergency environments, and led safety operations for large construction and industrial organizations supporting complex operations and diverse workforces across multiple states.
His experience includes mentoring and developing safety professionals, field leadership personnel, supervisors, and operational teams working in environments where conditions constantly change and leadership must function effectively in the real world.
Tailored for leaders
Specifically designed for safety professionals, operational leaders, instructors, and field leadership, our program addresses the unique needs of those in critical roles.
“Some of the most important lessons I learned in safety and the fire service did not come from classrooms. They came from shared experiences, changing conditions, honest conversations, and learning to work together when it mattered most.”
