Hi, everybody. This is Brion. Every month or so, I put on a coaching call. If you’re interested in getting on the invite for that, send me an email through the website at leansixsigmaenvironment.org and I can add you to the list. Basically, the idea is to just be available and answer questions for people who are looking to apply their skills to an environmental issue or maybe they already have a good background on the environment and they want a little bit more education and support on Lean and Six Sigma, either one, that’s what that is intended for.

I encourage you to join. It’s free, there’s no cost to

it. I just want to reach out and support people who have expressed interest in

the past. Some of the people have downloaded things from my website, some

people have gone through the free online course. If you haven’t check that out,

you can go to the website and find that as well and that will give you a good

introduction to some of the basic tools and the concepts. The important thing,

though, is to practice, and so I really encourage you to find an opportunity to

work in your community, in your work, somewhere where you can try to practice

some of these concepts.

I thought I would just give you an update on where I’m at.

Today is Friday, May 24.
