    2025/07/18

    When your plan falls apart, your recovery starts with the habits you've built before things went sideways. In this Foundations Friday episode, Build the Bounce, One Habit at a Time, we focus on simple actions that help you reset, refocus, and respond, rather than react when life punches first.

    This week’s anchor point is mindfulness and movement. It’s not about being tough. It’s about being trained.

    Topics Covered:

    • Why daily habits matter more than perfect plans
    • How to mentally prepare for the unexpected
    • Simple resilience-building practices
    • Personal reflections on bounce-back moments
    • One actionable habit you can start today

  • How to Manage Span of Control in Team Design
    2025/06/23

    When leaders try to manage too many people directly, clarity disappears and momentum suffers. In this episode, I break down the importance of span of control across public safety, healthcare IT, and project teams. Whether you're building a department, spinning up an incident team, or planning a go-live, the rule of 3 to 7 direct reports still holds. Five is the sweet spot—but there are exceptions.

    We’ll walk through how ICS uses structure to maintain speed under pressure, how project teams should plan their structure during resource alignment, and why we must review roles and objectives regularly to stay on track. Whether you lead full-time staff or ad hoc teams, this episode is your blueprint for sustainable team design.

    People first. Combined process. Progress together.

  • How to Combine Project Risk Tools with Emergency Planning
    2025/06/10

    Warren Buffett said it best: “Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.”

    On today’s episode, How to Combine Project Risk Tools with Emergency Planning, we’re focusing on how project managers and public safety leaders can speak the same language when it comes to risk. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, created the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment—also known as THIRA—to help communities anticipate and plan for the unknown. In the same way, project risk registers help uncover obstacles before they become blockers. Today, we’ll connect the dots between THIRA, stakeholder maps, and integrated risk matrices—so your team can prepare, prioritize, and progress, no matter the scenario.
