“When I consider the tremendous consequences from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.” – Bruce Barton As I reflect upon this statement, there is so much truth to it. So much of our life is defined by little things. When we study accidents in our plant, it’s usually a brief lapse or small details that aren’t attended to which cause the event. So often we hear
Not sure about your plans for the 4th but Richard Stinson who directs safety efforts for the treating team sent this out. It’s worth repeating: As we roll into the 4th of July, let’s take a moment to drop a few reminders about celebrating our freedom responsibly. Yes, you can be responsible and still have fun! Traffic: The roads will be packed for the next few days Watch your speed Put the phone down Maintain
The last time you observed or were involved in an accident: did it feel like you were in heavy traffic? I live near Mickey Mouse land and the traffic worsens here every year. Traffic jams are frustrating. Movement is slowed. Time is wasting. You fill crowded and irritated. Our mind tells us to do something! Free things up! Make something happen! You begin considering driving on the shoulder? Crossing the median? Cutting off the less
One of the challenges each of us has is executing on our daily commitments and responsibilities. I was listening to organizational psychologist Tim Kight describe execution as a critical transaction. He says world class execution turns on “commitment, diligence, and attention to detail.” Think about execution. You know what needs to be done. You know how to do it. The question whether you will fight complacency to bring an excellent effort in performing the routine
When giving feedback, consider using this pattern: Don’t do (that), Do (this). A “don’t do” statement is evaluative. Many times, we avoid evaluative comments or direction because it is perceived as judgmental or harsh. I have often adhered to this strategy. But, I read recently that evaluative feedback is often more memorable. Maybe because it’s stark. Maybe because it can sting a little. But, it’s still more memorable. The logic is this: It’s the feedback
I’m guessing most of us didn’t watch the Tony’s on Sunday night. Broadway isn’t our jam. But, an American actor won an Actor of the Year Tony. What’s noteworthy is that it was his first after more than 50 years working on stage. Andre’ De Shield’s acceptance speech was inspiring. He chose to share three rules to longevity. “Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you coming.” “Slowly is the fastest
As I mentioned, there are 40 people on our mission team in Guatemala. While most are skilled medical pros, the primary criteria for making the team is that they “want” to be here. Some have retired. It’s the only week they provide medical care all year. The equipment is mostly “older school”. They aren’t working in the well-equipped setting they usually find at home. We don’t come here knowing what we will find, so there’s
“You may not get to choose where you go, but you always get to choose how you’ll travel. We can decide to engage our challenges with passion, to fully commit to a goal, to compete with our past and improve, to overcome the setbacks we face, and to enjoy the journey along the way.” – Tim Elmore How are you traveling? Elmore’s quote reminds me how much attitude matters. If you are fortunate, you like
How resilient are you? How well do you respond to the setbacks in life? I was listening to Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook talk about coming back from a tragic loss she experienced. Her husband died of a heart attack while working out on a vacation. She has young children and it has been a challenge to come back from the loss. She has decided to turn the tragedy into something that helps others. Here is
You’ve probably never heard of Esther Wojcicki. She is a high school teacher in Palo Alto, CA who has a reputation for making a huge difference to students throughout her career. She is known as “Woj”. But, she and her husband Stan also raised three very accomplished daughters: Susan (CEO of YouTube), Janet, a Fulbright-winning anthropologist, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and researcher, and Anne(co-founder of 23andMe). YouTube is owned by Google. 23andMe is a ground-breaking genetics company making great headway into

“Everything you want is on the other side of ‘hard’.” – CJ McCollum, NBA player McCollum is a story of overachievement. He was undersized. Played college basketball at a non-descript school. Was a long shot to be an NBA player but worked his way to being a first-round draft pick and was a solid star in his 10th year in the league. I heard him describe his approach to the game and his development on a podcast called

“Weep, trust, pray, think, shift, hope, grow. Ways to handle suffering.” – Tim Keller Tim Keller was a preacher from New York City. He passed away in 2023. I followed him on Twitter because he tweeted profound thoughts like the one above. You don’t exit life without tough things happening to you. It’s a fact. None of us are exempt.
