This episode a bit of a capstone for the previous incident command system and incident management episodes of Between the Slides.  The title, Incident Management Principals and Practical Application is the name of an eight hour course I thought of and that friends and colleagues of mine created as a way to provide the "meat and potatoes" one normally gets from the five-day O-305 All Hazards Incident Management course. Distilling a five-day course into eight hours was a great opportunity to provide critical basic foundational incident management skills to a large audience of public health, social services and private sector attendees.

Key components of the course:

* Common themes and pitfalls

* The core skills to manage incidents work in all scenarios

* No egos. No silos. Period

* We have to keep a solid operational tempo in the team

* Incident Command System (ICS) Features Overview

* ICS Leadership

* Planning and organization

* Incident locations and facilities

* Communications/Information management

* Professionalism

* You Can Manage Any Incident or Event

* S.M.A.R.T. Objectives

* Establish a joint organizational structure

* Request resources early and often

* How ICS Really Works

* Overview by credentialed IMT members or Command Staff

* Overview by credentialed IMT members of each Section

* Planning "P" overview

* Leadership Lessons

* See BTS Ep10: Leadership Lessons from Gettysburg

* Memorable Quotes

* "Inspect what you expect"

* "Strive to be imperturbable"

Thank you everyone for taking the time to listen and subscribing.

Godspeed,

A review of the one day version of the week long O-305 IMT course I created and taught it to Local, State and Private sector organizations

I distilled the O-305 course into a one day class and taught it to Local, State and private sector folks with my teammates and colleagues. Here are the key elements from that course.

A review of the one day version of the week long O-305 IMT course I created and taught it to Local, State and Private sector organizations

A little over two years ago I was in a terrible place emotionally, mentally and physically. A friend of mine's prompt for me to listen to Jocko Podcast helped me re-shape my mindset and was the catalyst I needed to make myself get up and get after it.  Building a garage gym doesn't take much as I'll explain in this episode.  The real work is taking the first step and steeling your mind day after day.  I hope this episode helps others in a rut realize they are not alone and that the path to change can be a few steps away in their garage.

"Between the Slides 5" key garage gym elements for this episode:

* Mindset - Nothing happens without YOUR decision to make the change.

* Kettlebells - One of, if not the most diverse and low cost options for improved health and fitness.

* Bar - free standing, wall mount or a pipe in the rafters. This develops real human strength.

* Jump Rope - Speed rope or one with handles.  Get warmed up or some great cardio with these.

* Resistance bands - Diverse to tone, build some strength and to shore up joint and supportive muscles.

Thank you for listening and know YOU can make the difference any day you want.

Godspeed,

Kevin
