Meet Richard

Richard Goerling, Founder & Director of Mindful Badge

Hello,

Thank you for joining us on our Train Humanity learning platform! I founded Mindful Badge with the intention of supporting the health, humanity and performance of first responders. Our work has expanded to other high reliability professions, such as medicine, social work and defense operations.

I spent 24 years in civilian law enforcement and nearly three decades in the United States Coast Guard, both active-duty and reserve. Like you, I’ve had a front row seat to occupational stress and trauma. Here at Mindful Badge, we bring you evidence-based skills training that open up new possibility for how we relate to stress injury. Our focus is to get good at stress. Our hard-won wisdom suggests that we can’t avoid stress, so let’s dive in together and sharpen our skillset and shift our perspective toward growth mindset.

Please explore your course, make a commitment to yourself and those you love, to train within. This is hard work and rewarding work. You were born for challenge. Let’s begin.

Richard
