I'm honored to have my original work, "Counteracting Unconscious Bias for Inclusive Firehouse Culture," selected for Firehouse Magazine's September edition. On the cover! #unconsciousbias #inclusive #culture🧠 @FirehouseNews @UT_Dallas @UTDallasAlumni firehouse.com/careers-educat…
I am honored to have FIREHOUSE magazine publish another one of my articles. Engagement increases when leaders make firefighters feel psychologically valued, psychologically safe, and psychologically supported. 🚒🔥 firehouse.com/leadership/art…
Firefighter shift schedules: Is the 48/96 shift a health hazard? firerescue1.com/health-wellnes…
Pasco County, FL Fire Rescue switched to a 24/72 work schedule. The 24/28 isn't long enough to recover bc the first half day off is spent catching up on sleep, and the 48/96 double duty can cause sleep deprivation/cognitive dysfunction/dysregulation. baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/…
Gainesville Fire Rescue ditched the 24/48 work schedule and implemented a longer time off 24/72 work schedule. City of Gainesville and Fire Rescue historic agreement on schedule Welcome to the City of Gainesville gainesvillefl.gov/News-articles/…
The Town of Addison deliberately forced over 2,000 poor residents out of their city limits. Their slogan is "How can we help you?" but it only pertains to the wealthy. If Addison, TX, had asked its poor citizens along Vitruvian Way, they would have said, "Don't destroy my home."
Building a community of resilience means city leaders must lead from the bottom up. The Town of Addison, Texas caters to the wealthy instead. Addison, Texas council collaborated with luxury apt developers to destroy its poorest community along Vitruvian Park. @townofaddison
Women have been told that "we’re the problem, that we’re the reason why we’re not free or equal. It’s bc we don’t have enough confidence, bc we didn’t find a mentor, because we didn’t color-code our calendar. Well, that’s a bold-faced lie.” @reshmasaujani fortune.com/2024/10/17/chi…
Men tend to interrupt women far more often than the other way around, and displays of confidence and directness decrease women’s influence but increase men’s. What else could be affecting how women are perceived in your workplace? s.hbr.org/3r3UYne

Female firefighters have to adjust their friendliness to male coworkers to send them signals that they are not interested in them romantically. FD policies that force friendliness may cause sexual harassment bc women lose the subtle ability to tell men to leave them alone.
The Town of Addison, Texas fire chief David Jones, who uses his LinkedIn page for his job role, blocked me to stop me from speaking. It is illegal for a government official to block people and erase their comments. @townofaddison @Addison_Fire

Entitled people like Virzi don't seem to comprehend that paramedics, police officers, nurses, ER doctors, and surgeons all have training in identifying and documenting child abuse. Prosecutors seek death penalty against alleged baby killer Nicole Virzi nypost.com/2024/08/25/us-…
Virzi is entitled and was irritated that her friend asked her to babysit. Prosecutors will hammer her in court much more than a layperson due to her PhD in brain development, anatomy, and psychology. Prosecutors will seek the death penalty | CNN cnn.com/2024/08/28/us/…

Instead of making a counteroffer after your employees quit, change conditions so that they don't want to leave in the first place. s.hbr.org/3cLAmMk
During my onboarding at Addison, Texas @townofaddison, HR pointed out that they don't condone fisticuffs! 🤷♀️ One day, a male walked in on another male scrubbing sinks with a nasty toilet brush. He said he had always done it that way. The male became irate and almost punched him.
The Town of Addison, Texas FD @Addison_Fire has a retainment problem. Operations at station 1 should put a steel bar across the door to admin to keep chiefs from walking back there and don't answer their phone calls. Lts and captains should be given the chance to solve problems.
