My POV on Safety:  I have done many safety presentations, tool box talks, safety audits, safety courses and on many occasions I have utilized this video.  I have shared this video with my family and friends to help give them a greater understanding and thought process on Safety. This video has definitely impacted me the […]

Mission:  I believe we all have a purpose in life – a mission… Businesses create a Mission statement to reveal their core purpose, focus, goals and key objectives.  I think it would be beneficial to create one for our personal lives.  It would help us to build, create and leave a legacy. It would be […]

Health & Safety:  This has been a hot topic for many companies in the last decade as Safety has taken precedence over a lot of things – which is important. As we are about to have another NAOSH week – North American Occupational Safety and Health Week being held from May 3 – 9, it is […]

Vision:  What is the vision you had for your life when you were young?  What did you want to be when you grew up?  Did you accomplish it?  Are you even in that field?  Do you think about it? Are you where you thought you’d be in life?  I am half a century old and […]

Safety & Health Week: May 1 – 6, 2023 previously referred to as NAOSH Week (North American Occupational Safety and Health Week).  Some have changed it to this and others still celebrate it as NAOSH week which will be held the week after. “Safety and Health Week, which takes place this year from May 1-6, is […]

Organization Tip:  We waste a lot of time in a day looking for items:  keys, tools, glasses, phone, etc.  Create a “home” for each item that makes sense and then be sure to use that “home”.  Then when you are looking for it, you know exactly where it should be! The “home” for each item […]

You Matter:  Realize you are important to this world because you woke up!  You do not have to do or be anything – you matter! We get so caught up in the act of appreciation, acceptance, approval, doing something to get something that we tend to apply that to our life, our worth… We feel […]

My work ethic:  I would consider myself very fortunate.  One of my first jobs was working for my dad.  We owned a food van and a restaurant.  I helped out and worked where I could around my schedule as a tween.  We lived in a small town, so our house was 1 ½ blocks from […]

Triggers:  Everyone has them.  They are things that come up in the present that remind us of the past and not in a good way. It can happen with friendships, but most of the time it happens with relationships – partners. Your ex has done something that caused you great pain and now you are […]

Unified Front:  It is highly important when dealing with customers, that the business have a unified front, especially those front facing. If different departments or individuals are giving different advice, pricing or information to the customer, that causes confusion and then the customer doesn’t know who to trust or believe. Make sure your team has […]

The Golden Rule:  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  Which means treat others how you want to be treated. I grew up living and being taught this rule. This works to an extent but as we have grown and evolved, some people have continued in this manner but on many […]
