“Your most limiting factor is yourself.” - Tessa Nge In this week's episode of the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast, we're thrilled to bring you an empowering conversation between host Trace Blackmore and two leaders in the water treatment industry— Tammy Faber, Sales Director, and Tessa Nge, Service Quality Supervisor at HOH Water Technology. Together, they explore how diversity fuels success, the importance of overcoming Imposter Syndrome, and how you can take meaningful steps to give back to our industry. Diversity Drives Success: The Data Speaks Diversity isn't just about creating fair workplaces—it's a proven driver of business success. Tammy shared powerful insights from a study titled “Diversity Drives Sales Success: The Link Between Successful Sales Teams And Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion,” commissioned by LinkedIn. This data shows that teams with strong diversity practices see: 6% higher customer satisfaction 12% higher sales 28% higher conversion rates 3% higher sales forecasts "Diversity drives sales," Tammy stated. It's clear that fostering diverse teams doesn't just boost morale—it boosts the bottom line. Diverse teams approach challenges from different angles, offering innovative solutions that serve a wider range of customers. When organizations embrace diversity, they unlock untapped potential for growth. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: A Battle We All Face Imposter Syndrome is a challenge many of us encounter, no matter our level of expertise. Tessa opened up about this, emphasizing "Imposter Syndrome is something everyone struggles with. Overcoming it is hard and takes intentional practice." It's not about eliminating self-doubt overnight but about taking deliberate steps to recognize and overcome it. Tessa and Tammy's top tips for overcoming self-doubt: Acknowledge your accomplishments. Take time to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. This can shift your mindset and reinforce your value. Step out of your comfort zone. Growth comes from challenging yourself. As Tessa mentioned, "You won't grow unless you're willing to be uncomfortable." Seek feedback. Tammy also highlighted the importance of feedback, saying, "I always start by asking if it's a good time to provide feedback. This shows respect and creates a space for open dialogue." "Your most limiting factor is yourself," Tessa wisely added. By recognizing that our self-doubt often holds us back, we can take intentional steps toward building confidence. Building a Culture of Support Creating a culture of support is vital for both personal and professional growth. Tammy and Tessa also discussed the vital role of a positive workplace culture in fostering growth and confidence. According to Tammy, "Intentionality is key to defining your culture. It should flow through every aspect of your organization." She emphasized that a strong culture empowers employees to thrive and feel supported. Tessa echoed this sentiment, noting that a culture of trust and accountability allows individuals to flourish. "When you remove micromanagement and create a supportive environment, employees can focus on their growth," she said. By promoting mentorship, offering training opportunities, and encouraging open dialogue about the challenges we encounter, we can cultivate a healthy work culture that benefits everyone. Taking Action: Give Back to the Water Treatment Community This week, we challenge you to give back to the industry that's given so much to you. Whether it's mentoring a young professional, volunteering with a local organization, or visiting a school to inspire students about careers in STEAM, now is the time to make an impact. As Tammy passionately said, "We need people that love this industry, that have a heart to help others and to grow others. There is no amount of expertise needed. The only thing you need is a willing heart and time." By giving back, you not only help others but also strengthen the community that has supported your own journey. Final Thoughts: Know Your Worth We wrapped up this inspiring conversation with a powerful reminder from Tammy: "Know your worth. Take time to identify your limiting beliefs and pull them out by the roots. You are unique, and your talents are valuable." Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and stepping into your full potential requires recognizing your own value. No matter where you are in your career, these lessons—embracing diversity, overcoming self-doubt, and fostering a culture of support—are essential for growth.

The challenge is…explain alkalinity to a non-technical person. Now, if you're like me, this is a fun challenge! I LOVE explaining industrial water treatment to people! If you're not like me, then sorry, but please do this challenge anyway. Alkalinity is a foundational bit of knowledge we must all understand as industrial water treaters. Technically, it is defined as the acid absorbing or neutralizing property of water. Sounds simple enough, right? What are the chemical components that make up alkalinity, though? We usually think of carbonate, bicarbonate, and hydroxide ions, but can there be others? Why does alkalinity matter in cooling systems, boilers, closed loops, and wastewater? The answer can be different for each. How do we measure alkalinity? We talk about P-alkalinity, M-alkalinity, and OH or hydroxyl alkalinity, but how are each different, how are they related, and what is each measuring? Total alkalinity and M-alkalinity are the same thing. That can be confusing to some. Why are they the same? How would you explain this to a non-technical person? Can you explain it right now or do you need to do a little more research first? Albert Einstein once said, “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” This is your challenge to understand alkalinity well enough to explain it simply.  Events for Water Professionals Check out our Scaling UP!

Recently, a poll was conducted by the Wall Street Journal. To the extent it was accurate and representative, the poll contained some very interesting and alarming statistics.The poll revealed that only:38%Of Americans say that patriotism is:VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM.That alarming statistic, my fellow Americans, that incredibly low percentage is down from that of 1998 which at that time was:70%.38%, only somewhat more than 1 out of 3 Americans think that patriotism, loyalty to and belief in the one-of-a-kind America is very important. That to me is shocking. Are you one of those 3 or are you one of the 2 out of 3 who really don't think that patriotism matters that much? How sad, rather how tragic is this lack of loyalty and commitment to the greatest nation in the history of humankind.Small wonder we are adrift as a nation, deeply divided, woke to the point where this new way of thinking is destroying everything once assumed to be American, and in danger of losing our very country itself.President Thomas Jefferson once said that America from time to time needs to be REFRESHED, the tree of liberty did with the blood of real patriots. That is, we true Americans should be willing to fight for our country and our freedom if necessary. But if only 1 out of 3 of us really care about and believe in America, the other two and their different way of thinking will certainly prevail. The America we have known and loved and lived in for almost 250 years will be gone with the wind.This Wall Street Journal poll also found that only about 40% of all Americans believed that religion of any kind was:VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM. Two out of five Americans only, 2 OUT OF 5 believed that religion, that broad and all-inclusive word was very important to them. That lack of belief was literally unbelievable!Twenty-five years ago, 2 out of 3 Americans, some 65% believed that religion was VERY IMPORTANT to them. Now, says this poll, only 2 out of 5 Americans believe that instead of 2 out of 3. Small wonder, my fellow Americans and Christians, that theologians predict the END TIMES and surely the end of America as we know it.Further, found the poll, only 27% of Americans said that their community was VERY IMPORTANT to them, a percentage down from 62% in 2019. Don't you find that unbelievable, as I do? Similarly, tolerance for other people, the poll found, was very important to 80% of Americans just four years ago. Today it is, says the Wall Street Journal, just 58%!Twenty-five years ago it was normal, expected that Americans would feel pride in their country. Proud of America was the normal belief of the vast majority of WE THE PEOPLE. We were, America was, the country unrivaled, a dominant force in the world. We were proud of our ancestors, our history, our constitution, our rule of law. But now, woke and radically progressive teaching, teaches our children that America was founded in “sin” and essentially irredeemable. If children, become adults, are taught to believe that there is little or nothing good in our history and our past, that America is irredeemably evil, small wonder that so many Americans do not feel a proud and aggressive sense of:PATRIOTISM.For example, trans-gender extremists recently called for a:“DAY OF VENGENCE”in America. Politician Marjorie Taylor-Greene recently insisted that the Untied States must break up, blue states divorced from red. That is simply just another way of saying that America is hopeless, irredeemable and must be destroyed or at least divided. I hope that you are aware of these incredibly satanic forces at work in our country, that you resist and defend whenever you can, and that you are proud of and willing to fight the fight of faith as necessary as the radical changes in America predicted by Barack Hussein Obama, the incredibly evil George Soros and others occur and grow every day. Our, YOUR future is at stake.And yet another Wall Street Journal finding. Only 23% of American adults said that having children was very important to them. Less than 1 out of 4! Stunned at that finding, I discussed the finding with a very intelligent and bright woman who said to me point blank:“I REFUSE TO HAVE AND RAISE CHILDREN IN THE AMERICA AND THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE!” Conservatives are silenced. They keep quiet out of fear of losing their jobs and other retribution from woke-progressives-radicals. Conservatives fear being shut out of advancement opportunities at work, mistreated by co-workers and bosses and even fired for voicing their beliefs. Censorship is everywhere. It affects everything and everyone.The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) reported that 88% of four-year colleges and universities now restrict the free expression of their students.The New York City Teachers Union sponsors a virtual workshop on fighting against the, are you ready for this:HARMFUL EFFECTS OF WHITENESS IN OUR LIVES.The bottom-line objective of course is the vague and misleading:DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION.I suppose it is not good today to be white, is it? It seems as though every other skin color matters except white. I, for one white, politely and passionately disagree!What a world! There seems to have been such radical change in values, morals, ethics and beliefs in our great country and the world at large. We are, my fellow Americans, like it or not, engaged in a spiritual, political, cultural and historical warfare like never before which threatens to tear our country apart and even destroy it. I am no prophet of doom, but a realist, I see what is happening as I am sure you do, knowing that there are so many who have no hope for this great country.I DO! I still believe the majority, perhaps the vast majority of Americans, are patriotic, are religious, and I hope that means Christian-Born-again, care about community and their fellow brothers and sisters and would count it an honor to bear and raise God-given children. I have that hope because I have:FAITH-HOPE-LOVEin the risen savior:JESUS CHRIST!HE is perhaps the only hope for peace, understanding, equity, and love. And of course, salvation and freedom, REAL FREEDOM.I love America and I am one of Thomas Jefferson's patriots who is willing to shed blood if necessary for the Tree of Liberty, for the America I love, and more importantly for:THE LORD I LOVE.I PRAY THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE AS WELL!

Is DEI Dead? In episode 4 of the Anti-Racism School Is In Session™ podcast, host Ashani Mfuko is diving deep into the roots of the DEI movement and industry, and dissecting why so many DEI leaders have been saying, "DEI is NOT just about race!". Learn about the DEI industry and it's connections to white supremacy culture, in this episode.*DISCLAIMER: What I share in this episode is about the RULE, NOT the exceptions. There are obviously lots of DEI professionals, of all races, backgrounds, and identities, who ARE addressing racial injustice and racial inequities through their work and initiatives. The point is, that NOT ENOUGH ARE. These people, companies, groups, etc., are the exception, NOT the rule. What I shared in this episode is reflective of what is happening in the DEI industry as a whole, and what needs to change for it to be more effective.
