In this episode of the Safety by Design, Nick sits down with Pam Tompkins, CUSP to discuss her recent article, "Safety by Design, Safety Management System Planning." This is the third installment of a six-part series where Pam delves into the critical role of planning in creating an effective safety management system (SMS). Pam explains why a proactive, systemic approach is essential for identifying and mitigating workplace hazards, moving beyond a reactive safety model. She emphasizes the importance of conducting a gap analysis to understand the current state of safety, using a systems-thinking approach to risk management, and setting clear, measurable objectives. The discussion also covers the use of leading indicators and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress and ensure continuous improvement, all within the framework of the ANSI/ASSP Z10-2019 standard.   Key Takeaways:   A proactive "safety by design" approach is crucial to move beyond a reactive safety culture that waits for accidents to happen. Conducting a gap analysis is an essential first step to identify weaknesses in your current safety practices and align improvements with fieldwork. Leading indicators, such as safety observations and near-miss reporting, provide a more accurate picture of safety performance than lagging indicators like incident rates. A systems-thinking approach helps to understand how people, processes, and equipment interact, leading to more effective risk management. Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) objectives is key to making safety goals actionable and accountable. The ANSI/ASSP Z10-2019 standard provides a comprehensive framework for building and maintaining a robust safety management system. Engaging employees at all levels in the safety planning process is vital for building a strong safety culture and ensuring that procedures are practical and effective.   Q&A:   Q: What is the main problem with a reactive approach to safety? A: A reactive approach to safety is insufficient because it waits for accidents to happen before taking action. In high-risk industries like electric power, the consequences of an incident can be catastrophic, making it too late to react after a fatality or serious injury has occurred. Q: Can you provide an example of an effective leading indicator? A: One effective leading indicator is near-miss reporting. A high level of participation in near-miss reporting is a positive sign that employees are engaged in the safety process and feel comfortable speaking up about potential hazards. This allows organizations to address issues before they lead to an incident. Q: What is "systems thinking" in the context of safety? A: Systems thinking is about looking at the bigger picture and recognizing that safety is influenced by the interaction of people, processes, and equipment. Instead of blaming an individual for a mistake, a systems-thinking approach looks for flaws in the system that may have contributed to the error, such as impractical procedures or a lack of resources.   #SafetyByDesign #UtilitySafety #SafetyManagementSystem #ProactiveSafety #LeadingIndicators #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyCulture   OSHA Power Electric Standards Course -  https://ip-institute.com/osha-electric-power-standards/ Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

Things aren't quite as sunny on the environmental front as some recent guests suggest. According to the award winning science writer Peter Brannen, our planet is in an unprecedented crisis. We're burning 500 million years of the earth's history in a few decades, Brannen warns, so we should all quit pretending that our recycling will miraculously save the planet. That said, though, his latest book, The Story of CO2 is the Story of Everything, is the complex narrative of how carbon dioxide (CO2) both made and might unmake our world. So CO2 is simultaneously the good guy and the villain in our environmental story. Without carbon dioxide, Brannen warns, Earth would freeze into an uninhabitable ice ball. But too much creates a Venus-like greenhouse hell in which all life would be quickly extinguished. We hang in a delicate sweet spot that took nature millions of years to manufacture —and we humans are now disrupting this ecological balance at breakneck speed. The result is what Brannen calls a terrifying planetary experiment with no safety net. So stop pretending your recycling will save the earth, he warns. Fixing the planet will require more than a new Tesla and regular trips to Whole Foods. 1. CO2 is Earth's Essential Paradox Carbon dioxide both enables life and threatens to destroy it. Without CO2, Earth would freeze into an uninhabitable ice ball within decades. But too much creates a Venus-like greenhouse hell. We exist in an extremely narrow window that took millions of years to establish.2. We're Conducting an Unprecedented Planetary Experiment Humans are burning 500 million years of stored solar energy (fossil fuels) in just a few decades, releasing ancient CO2 at a rate 100 times faster than natural volcanic processes. This speed overwhelms Earth's natural ability to rebalance the system.3. Individual Consumer Actions Won't Save Us Recycling, driving electric cars, and other personal choices create demand for better technologies but won't solve a problem of this scale. The focus on consumer responsibility was actually a strategy pushed by fossil fuel companies to deflect from systemic change.4. Technology Offers Hope, But Carbon Removal is Fantasy Solar power costs have plummeted dramatically, offering genuine reasons for optimism. However, carbon capture and removal technologies are thermodynamically expensive and cannot scale to meaningful levels—they're "basically useless" if we don't first cut emissions to nearly zero.5. Democracy May Be Too Slow for Climate Action International climate treaties produce "mealy-mouthed press releases" while missing targets. Brannen suggests the most realistic path forward is that clean energy becomes so economically superior that countries adopt it regardless of political will, potentially leaving the U.S. behind if it doesn't adapt.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Today, we are replaying one of my favorite conversations with Sam Hinkie. Sam worked for more than a decade in the NBA with the Houston Rockets and then as the President and GM of the Philadelphia 76ers. And now, after years of personal investing, he has launched his own venture capital firm, 87 Capital. Every conversation I have with Sam is alive with insight, and this one is no different. We explore the idea of studying the "breadcrumbs" that someone leaves behind as a way to track their progress and trajectory, finding and attracting the right people into one's orbit, and the lessons from the NBA that most shape his investing career. Sam has taught me the most about the topic of building trust, which we cover here as well. I am excited to share my conversation with Sam with all of you. Please enjoy!

This episode provides a powerful and practical 3-step framework for building unstoppable habits to create your dream life. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn, Randy explains that the secret to having more is becoming more, and the key to becoming more is mastering your daily habits. He breaks down a simple yet effective system for eliminating bad habits and stacking good ones. Listeners will learn the "Zero Day Mindset" to ensure daily progress, the importance of conducting an "Environment Audit" to remove distractions and set yourself up for success, and how to create a "Reward Loop" to make new habits stick. This is a concise, no-fluff guide to transforming your life by transforming your daily actions.   Key Takeaways: The foundation of building your dream life is mastering your daily habits. Step 1: The Zero Day Mindset. Commit to making at least some progress on your new habit every single day, no matter how small. Never let a day end at zero. Step 2: The Environment Audit. Proactively design your surroundings to make good habits easy and bad habits difficult. Remove distractions and set up visual cues for success. Step 3: The Reward Loop. Attach a meaningful, personal reward to the consistent practice of your new habit to reinforce the behavior and make it enjoyable. Habits are stackable; mastering one good habit (like journaling) makes it easier to build others in different areas of your life, such as health and productivity. Don't beat yourself up if you fall backward or miss a day. Acknowledge it, learn from it, and get right back on track without self-judgment.   Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the secret to building habits that actually stick? How can I achieve my biggest goals faster and with more ease? What is the "Zero Day Mindset" and how can it guarantee daily progress? How does your physical environment affect your ability to build good habits? What are the best ways to design your environment for success? What is a "Reward Loop" and why is it essential for habit formation? How do you stay motivated when building a new habit that feels difficult? What is the one simple habit that can change the entire trajectory of your life?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Jim Rohn. Concepts: Unstoppable Habits, Habit Stacking, Zero Day Mindset, Environment Audit, Reward Loop, Personal Development, Comfort Zone, Journaling. Programs Mentioned: Challenge to Succeed (Jim Rohn).

With the rise of the sōsaku hanga (creative print) movement in the early to mid 20th century, mokuhanga expanded to include works made with Western oil pigments as well. Today, mokuhanga can be difficult to define, as many artists experiment with new approaches while others remain dedicated to traditional water-based methods. This balance between innovation and tradition shows that mokuhanga is limitless, continually evolving while still grounded in its past. sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Stephen Hazel (1934-20120 - was a painter and printmaker based in the Pacific Northwest. He created works on paper, and educated upon the subject.

Unlike most printmaking methods, where multiple copies of the same image can be produced, a monotype typically has a single, one-of-a-kind image. It's called a "mono" type because it is not part of an edition like traditional prints (e.g., lithographs, etchings), where you can make multiple copies.  Mike Lyon  -  is an American artist.

Chris Holman welcomes Jonathan Smith, Senior Chief Deputy Director for LEO, Michigan's Labor and Economic Opportunity Department. What is the Community Transition Playbook and why is it so important for Michigan right now? What does it mean for Michigan to be “in the driver's seat” of our economic transition, and how does this playbook help us get there? How does this effort tie into Michigan's clean energy and mobility transition? All of this falls under Michigan's Community & Worker Economic Transition Office. Can you tell us a little bit about the office and its mission? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ State of Michigan receives $1.5M grant from Ballmer Group to create Community Transition Playbook Playbook will equip local leaders, workers and businesses with the tools to thrive in Michigan's evolving economy Lansing, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has received a $1.5 million grant from Ballmer Group to create the Community Transition Playbook. Spearheaded by the Community & Worker Economic Transition Office, the playbook will engage local stakeholders to create a comprehensive resource that empowers communities, workers and employers with the resources they need to proactively prepare for, benefit from and shape Michigan's future economy. “The Community Transition Playbook will put Michigan in the driver's seat as we prepare for the wave of new jobs and investments coming to our state,” said Community & Worker Economic Transition Office Director Jonathan Smith. “The generous support from Ballmer Group is a critical investment that helps move this important work forward and positions Michigan as a national leader in economic resilience and clean energy workforce development.” The playbook is part of a broader strategy that will support resilient communities and shared prosperity through economic transitions impacting the automobile and energy industries. The Ballmer grant is funding three phases of work to support this strategy: Phase 1: Conducting simulated exercises to document and understand the existing process that the state and local stakeholders use to respond to plant closures, then reviewing that process to look for improvements, enhancements or best practices. Phase 2: Creating a playbook that communities can use to prepare for economic transitions. This playbook would include resources that could be used for resiliency and diversification planning as well as a guide for how to navigate a specific plant closure or business failure. Phase 3: Identifying a cohort of cities/regions particularly exposed to economic transitions and providing technical assistance to help them deploy the playbook to develop a resiliency or growth plan for their communities. Input for the playbook is being gathered through a series of collaborative roundtable events held across the state, bringing together key stakeholders from diverse regions and sectors. These half-day sessions feature plant closure simulations, tabletop exercises and facilitated group discussions — all designed to identify the critical components needed to build a practical, action-oriented guide for real-world implementation. The Community & Worker Economic Transition Office was created as part of a historic package of clean energy and climate bills passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Whitmer in 2023.

Are you constantly chasing perfection, or are you truly celebrating progress? In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond challenges leaders to shift their focus from the dreaded "gap" of what hasn't been accomplished to the powerful "gain" of what has. Tammy passionately advocates for a gain-driven mindset, urging leaders to move beyond self-sabotage by acknowledging every step forward, learning from failures, and fostering a truly positive team environment. Discover how conducting a "gain audit" can transform your perspective, enhance motivation, and significantly boost team performance. This conversation highlights the profound impact of measuring progress on team dynamics and underscores why leadership is about owning your journey – celebrating every piece of traction, not just the final win. Stop punishing yourself with unmet goals and start cultivating a culture of acknowledgment and growth! Key Takeaways for Leaders: Progress Over Perfection: Shift your focus from measuring what you haven't accomplished (the "gap") to celebrating what you have achieved (the "gain"). The "Gap" Treadmill: Understand that "living in the gap" is counterproductive, leading to self-sabotage and hindering motivation. Perspective is Power: Recognize that true progress is found in perspective, not the unattainable pursuit of perfection. Celebrate Traction: Learn to celebrate every piece of traction and small win, not just major successes, to build continuous momentum. Conduct a Gain Audit: Implement a gain audit with your team to intentionally review accomplishments and foster a positive, appreciative environment. Lead by Example: Be aware that your team watches how you measure success – model a gain-driven mindset. Learn from Failures: Embrace acknowledging failures as valuable learning opportunities, rather than reasons for self-punishment. Shift Negative Mindsets: Actively work to shift negative mindsets within yourself and your team towards recognizing opportunities and strengths. Own Your Journey: Embrace the reality that leadership is about owning your journey, acknowledging every step of growth and learning. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to apply a gain-driven mindset to enhance motivation and combat self-sabotage.

The critical role of perspective and emotional intelligence in effective goal setting and leadership. Why celebrating progress, even small achievements, impacts team dynamics and overall organizational health. Strategies to move from a focus on shortcomings to one of strength and growth.

David Robertson is a rare conductor who unites avant-garde complexity with accessibility. After serving as music director of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Pierre Boulez's storied contemporary-music ensemble, he went on to rejuvenate the St. Louis Symphony. Robertson combines a fearless approach to challenging scores with a deep empathy for audiences. Tyler and David explore Pierre Boulez's centenary and the emotional depths beneath his reputation for severity, whether Boulez is better understood as a surrealist or a serialist composer, the influence of non-Western music like gamelan on Boulez's compositions, the challenge of memorizing contemporary scores, whether Boulez's music still sounds contemporary after decades, where skeptics should start with Boulez, how conductors connect with players during a performance, the management lessons of conducting, which orchestra sections posed Robertson the greatest challenges, how he and other conductors achieve clarity of sound, what conductors should read beyond music books, what Robertson enjoys in popular music, how national audiences differ from others, how Robertson first discovered classical music, why he insists on conducting the 1911 version of Stravinsky's Petrushka rather than the 1947 revision, and more.
