Charlie 1: Leadership Lessons from the Front Line

My upcoming book takes you behind the scenes of some of Australia’s most challenging events - from frontline emergencies to the hidden toll they can take on those who respond.

Drawing on 20 years as a chaplain with NSW Ambulance, including a decade as Senior Chaplain, I share stories of crisis, courage, leadership and loss, and the lessons they taught me about what helps people endure, lead and recover.

Charlie 1 book cover by Paul McFarlane featuring police officers and frontline leadership lessons.

"I just read your first chapter and it’s so well written and so moving. For those of us who have had the privilege to sit with people in distress and respond to these types of situations, it is very meaningful to have someone like yourself put it into words. Your story needs to be told and I’m so glad you are sharing it."
