  1. Can't vs Won't

    Can't vs Won't

    In this week’s Bison Bit I talk about I can’t vs I won’t. There is a difference and you need to get to the core of either. Both can be resolved with good conversation and empathy.   The outcome is a stronger team.   https://youtu.be/HkVLIpecVDw   #Lifesafety #Bisonbit #Business Hosted on Acast.

  2. Leading By Example

    Leading By Example

    Leadership is an interesting topic. There’s good leaders and bad we all know that. There are different styles with varying degrees of success too. Talking about leadership is important because it gives everyone a chance to share and grow. That’s why I bring it up. I want to grow and learn from you.   In this Bison Bit I talk about leading by example. Your team is always watching you. Make sure what they see is inspiring in some way. Little things can have a much larger impact than huge gestures.   https://youtu.be/dr6Ih5C3X8g   #Lifesafety #Bisonbit #Business Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  3. Using A Loss Leader To Save Your Life?

    Using A Loss Leader To Save Your Life?

    Retailers have been using loss leaders as a way to get you into their store to impulse buy or purchase other items they sell. Even car dealers have used this type of bait and switch over the years.   Loss leaders usually leave a bad taste in your mouth because it’s deceptive. Life safety should never fall into this category, but unfortunately it does, more often than you may realize.   https://youtu.be/dnV5J3G_duY   #Fireprotection #Lifesafety #Bisonbit #Business #Insurance #firealarm #firesprinkler #Propertymanagement #Fireextinguisher #Firesuppression #Mining #Manufacturing Hosted on Acast.

  4. Kindness

    Kindness

    Lock downs are continuing with tempers, stress and anxiety on the rise. I constantly hear about other social issues growing as well. Drug & alcohol abuse, family breakdowns and worse.   People don’t need more negativity piled on them. Last week I said “Don’t under value kindness or see it as weakness because it’s a STRENGTH. Anyone can be cruel easily it takes a stronger person to be kind.” Everyone has something going on that you know nothing about.   Remember a moment of kindness and empathy delivered at the right moment could be the life line someone desperately needs. You have that superpower. Use it.   https://youtu.be/du1Qfp5dv1s   #Fireprotection #Lifesafety #Bisonbit #Business Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    20 Years in Business - Part 4

    As I finish the walk down memory lane remembering the last 20 years we get to the “Current Years”.   A lot happened through that time. Changes in the business that included growth, some hardships, and the heartache I felt personally as COVID took hold.   It’s been a fantastic journey, and has given me numerous thoughts on stories and situations that I can unpack in greater detail in future Bison Bits.   Thanks for taking the walk with me!   https://youtu.be/kkCiHhzMiuQ   #Fireprotection #Bisonbit #Business #firealarm #Fireextinguisher #Firesuppression #Firesprinkler Hosted on Acast.

    20 Years in Business - Part 3

    The late middle years brought some interesting challenges. Bison had grown from a small to a medium sized business. These types of transitions can be disruptive and they will test the resolve of any staff. We also found time to grow.   I talk about some of the challenges, and decisions made. It was an interesting era for Bison and many lessons were learned along the way.   https://youtu.be/KtxqlKRDh6k   #Fireprotection #Bisonbit #Business #firealarm #Fireextinguisher #Firesuppression #Firesprinkler Hosted on Acast.

    20 Years in Business - Part 2

    Through the early middle years we really started to get our feet under us and went through a period of rapid growth. With that came some rapid lessons, some funny moments, and some personal life changes.   These were exciting times and I’m happy to share some of the experiences along the journey. I hope you’re enjoying this as much as I am!   https://youtu.be/0trv5VskY_8   #Fireprotection #Bisonbit #Business #firealarm #Fireextinguisher #Firesuppression #Firesprinkler Hosted on Acast.
