To inspire people, don’t show them your skill and talent. Bring out and show them their own. And always lead by example, especially with injuries / incidents. The crew and I were making big magic happen, we had a couple stop and evaluate moments. The task was then executed efficiently and safely. But sometimes it’s the little things that will get you. I was standing next to a tailgate helping unload ridged hose, when the guy in the truck delivering it was handing it down to me. I got ahold of it, the top half of the spiral slipped out his hands and flopped over on to my face and tossed me back. A very minor simple thing, however given my size 5’2” and 125lbs, it did a number. Within about 3 minutes my face was already purple. I walked right over to my superintend, told him what happened and off to the office we went to take care of me and what comes with it. The take away is know your limitations. Size does matter. Could I lift that spiral? Absolutely Could I do it safely? Absolutely Could I withstand human error on the giving end of that spiral? Judging by my black eye, absolutely not. Understand your limitations when presented at other angles. Women, it’s is known that we aren’t men and they are okay with that. Don’t ever be afraid to say “ I shouldn’t be the one to handle this task “. There is always help. I yell ( playfully ) at men all the time watching them trying to wrestle heavy things instead of just asking me to hook up to it and let a machine do its job. It’s Construction. We do dangerous things, carefully. Accidents do happen and no matter the size, make sure your crew knows they can come to you. #construction #heavyequipmentoperator #inspire #safety #womeninconstruction #wic #leadbyexample

In September, I’ll be retiring after serving out Nation after +20 years in the US Military. The one thing I’ve learned from great leaders in OUR NATION is to always focus on the “greater good”, take care of your team, and remember it’s not about you. In our society today, many have forgotten what being a leader means. It is a position of trust. Trust given by constituents, troops, or people at your place of employment. Your position is your job, and your leadership needs to be based upon the fact it’s the acceptance of those below you that you’re going to propose and do the right things, for the right reasons, for the “greater good”, and not for your own selfish reasons nor personal gains. It means working across party lines and internal office politics. It means being an ethical American. Ethical to the standards Our Forefathers used to build this great Nation. Ethical to the standards previous leaders of our Nation and organizations used to keep us moving forward. Remember. Without strong leadership and ethical values, organizations or nations devolve into chaos, become ripe for the picking, and get overthrown. So step up and let your legacy be the example of an ethical leader following and improving established fair and equitable rules.

Perseverance begins every morning when your alarm goes off. You have to get up and make something of yourself. To lead by example for others to follow, not by demanding and ordering around, but simply empowering them to make choices that ultimately lead to their success. Pointing them in the right direction, when they have questions of the unknown. Striving each and every day to do better than you were the previous day. Always change something that helps you grow physically and mentally everyday. Never giving up no matter how tough it may get. Great things are always around the corner.

This video says it all. Trench Safety is critical in the civil industry. When a trench wall collapses with no protection the results are often fatal. The use of proper shoring cages or proper sloping and benching of trenches is the key to any safe utility trench. For workers: You always have the right to refuse unsafe work and to speak up even if it’s not you going into a trench like this. For managers: Make sure everyone goes home safely to their families every night. Safety First isn’t just a slogan, it’s a mission statement! Stay safe out there guys!

Did you know that land surveying is mentioned in The Old Testament? I sure didn't when I started my daily bible study this morning. Before I opened my bible, I said a prayer that unintentionally began to be very centered on work & my career. More specifically about continuing to bring me wisdom in my field, confidence in material, the ability to listen and be compassionate for my clients. Little did I know the next chapter I would open quite literally spelled out my point of focus: LAND SURVEYING. God seriously amazes me every day by always knowing what I need to hear & being with me every step of the way. I want to do good in the world by working hard but by also letting his light shine through me. So, let's talk SURVEY (or Jesus if you need Him) Route Selection ~ Construction Staking ~ As-Builts ~ Topo ~ Base Maps ~ LiDAR/Aerial Mapping ~ Permit Crossing ~ Alignment Sheets ~ Boundary Cell: 409-978-0714 Email: s.schoettlin@encompassservices.com #oilandgas #pipeline #energy #midstream #construction #survey #land #GIS #sales #networking
