Scaling UP! H2O

My hope as you listen to episode 120 and 121 is that you are starting to feel empowered to understand this preventable disease and that you are feeling equipped with better tools to fight this battle.

Dr. Janet Stout has always been a strong supporter of the water treatment community and Scaling UP! H2O. In this two-part episode, Janet fills us in on what has taken place in the world of "legionellology". Janet created this term to better capture the work she does. Among this update includes the revision of ASHRAE's 188, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services position, and even some new bacteria guidelines you may never have heard of.

I know you will receive a wealth of information about legionella from these two episodes. Please talk to your customers and help them understand that we all play a part in this "grey battle" called Legionellosis Prevention. Until a standard gives us guidelines, we have to partner with facility owners and managers to help them make better decisions.

It is hard to believe that the last time I had a complete show featuring Dr. Janet Stout was in July of 2017. That was only episode 9, making her one of my first guests! Since that time, she has been on a few shows when I ran into her at various conventions we both attended. Janet has always been a strong supporter of the water treatment community and Scaling UP! H2O.

Since airing the interview with Janet back in 2017, I would have thought that by now, we would have seen more movement on legislation around the topic of legionellosis prevention. There has been a multitude of legionella outbreaks over the last three years, including a significant one in my hometown of Atlanta, GA. Today, most of us are still waiting for our cities to catch up to what other countries have been doing for years. While we wait, almost every party involved has questions on how to proceed in the prevention of Legionnaires Disease. Owners confuse a water treatment program with a Water Management Plan. Whether you like government getting involved or not, I think we can all agree that having a standard to conform to is better than having the "grey lines" most of us have to navigate through today.

In this two-part episode, Janet fills us in on what has taken place in the world of "legionellology". Janet created this term to better capture the work she does. Among this update includes the revision of ASHRAE's 188, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services position, and even some new bacteria guidelines you may never have heard of. I know you will receive a wealth of information about legionella from these two episodes.

My hope is you also are empowered to understand this preventable disease. How are we supposed to fight a battle without any tools? Sure, we have the tools, but our customers are not allowing us to use them in many cases due to cost and a general misunderstanding of responsibilities. Please talk to your customers and help them understand that we all play a part in this "grey battle" called legionellosis prevention. Until a standard gives us guidelines, we have to partner with facility owners and managers to help them make better decisions.

119 The First One of 2020

Episode 119: Show Notes

Nation! Happy 2020!!

Everyone gets excited about the New Year. Some look at it as a fresh start. Others look at it as a time to get things accomplished. And I know some look at it as 11 months until you have to produce results for the end of the year. (I see you out there!)

Last year, I took Nation through a process I do every year called SCOLL and SMART. I talked about SCOLL on the previous week's episode when I wrapped up my year of Scaling UP! H2O. If you missed it, listen to that episode first. Today's episode is about planning the upcoming year. I do this with a tool called SMART. SMART is a tool that allows you to get results from your goals.

SMART stands for:

• Specific

Answer the questions:

* "What is to be done?"

* "How will you know your goal is completed?"

Describe the results (end product) of the work to be done. Write your description in such a way that anyone reading the objective will most likely interpret it the same way. Specific goals are observable. Observable means that somebody can see or hear (physically observe) what you are doing.

• Measurable (use measurement)

Answers the question:

* "How will you know it meets expectations?"

Define the objective using assessable terms (quantity, quality, frequency, costs, deadlines, etc.). It refers to the extent to which you evaluate against a standard. An objective with a quantity measurement uses terms of amount, percentages, etc.. A frequency measurement could be daily, weekly, 1 in 3. A goal with a quality measurement would describe a requirement in terms of accuracy, format, within university guidelines.

• Achievable

• Achievable answers the questions:

* "Can the person do it?"

* "Can the measurable objective be achieved by the person?"

* "Does he/she have the experience, knowledge, or capability of fulfilling the expectation?"

* "Can it be done giving the time frame, opportunity, and resources?"

Each of these items must be included in the SMART objective if they will be a factor in the achievement.

• Relevant

Answers the questions:

* "Should it be done?"

* "Why?"

* "What will be the impact?"

• Time-Oriented

Answers the question:

* "When will it be done?"

It refers to the fact that an objective has endpoints and checkpoints built into it. Sometimes a task may only have a due date. It might signify the end of the task, or it might launch you into the start point of another. Sometimes a task has several milestones or checkpoints along the way to help you or others assess how well something is going. Checkpoints are reminders to allow for corrections or modifications to ensure that results meet expectations. Other times, an employee's style is such that the due dates or milestones are there to create a sense of urgency that helps them to get something finished.

We've created a downloadable that will help you through this process. Click here to download your S.M.A.R.T Objectives Worksheet.

Another one of my favorite techniques to get things accomplished is running a 12-week year. Most of us wait until year-end is upon us to take action with our objectives. Human nature is to create urgency when time is running out. The 12-week year plan takes advantage of that natural mindset by chopping up the year into 12-week segments.

The 12-week year uses the SMART tool and combines it with a scorecard around metrics that you will hit every week. Brian Moran wrote a book called The Twelve Week Year and I highly recommend reading it. Using this technique will allow you to get more done in 12 weeks than others do in a year.

Click here for another downloadable that will walk you through the Twelve Week Year.

Please Note: In the episode I refer to it as the 13-Week Year. This is because I use it over a period of thirteen weeks. Thanks for understanding!

118 The Last One Of 2019

Episode 118: Show Notes

Nation! It's almost 2020! Where did 2019 go?

Last year I shared with all of you how I set my goals. After that show aired, I received a lot of great comments on how others were using that information. So why not do that again this year?

I think it is essential to evaluate how the current year went before you start planning for next year. Doing so allows you to understand what life is telling you. Your life and your results are always critical indicators of how things are going and what you should be doing. We need to take the time to listen to what life is telling us. To bring this into perspective, I like to ask myself why I was successful at the items I accomplished and why I was not with the things I didn't? Then I can key in on what needed to happen or didn't happen to create success.

Another tool I use to help with this prospective is called SCOLL.

SCOLL stands for:

• Successes
• Challenges
• Opportunities
• Lessons
• Learned

In this episode, I take you through SCOLL on my past year's experiences with Scaling UP! H2O. I hope you use my example to start your year-end and next year planning off right. Happy New Year!

Episode 117: Show Notes

Nation! I am so excited to bring this show to you. As I mentioned in last week's episode, learning about the four temperaments is hand's down one of the most useful things I did this year. It has helped ALL of my relationships. You are probably are asking yourself: What is a Temperament? This show will answer that for you.

My guest is Temperament expert, Kathleen Edelman. Her mission is to help people use words that build others up. She says that the words we use when we speak are our gift to others. That statement should make us want to think about our words more carefully! Kathleen explains what the four temperaments are by defining the needs, manipulation techniques, strengths, and weaknesses. This information is invaluable as we related to others.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone, and the person takes your meaning in a different way than what you meant to say? I have found that this used to happen to me all the time. After working with Kathleen, I have learned techniques on how to communicate best with others. Kathleen understands that different people respond to words differently. She has mastered how to identify what words to use and gives us the tools to do the same thing.

Please join me in welcoming Kathleen to Scaling UP! H20.

116 Pinks and Blues: System Volume

Episode 116: Show Notes

I am so grateful for the members of the Scaling UP! Nation! I have the best audience in all of podcasting. To great content every week every episode, I beg the Nation! to help me by asking questions they would like for me to answer. The Nation! has responded to that call once again!

Today, a friend of the show, Eric Russo, of episode 111, asks about the rules of thumb when it comes to determining volume in a closed-loop system. If you have ever heard me speak on this topic, you know I don't trust rules of thumb. But I do accept math.

WARNING: This episode contains MATH. Today's episode is about how I use math to determine how much volume is in a closed-loop system.

Below are the calculations I talk about on the show.

Estimating System Volume:

Πr2 x 7.48 x pipe'

• Π = 3.14
• R = half the pipe diameter and then square that number (must be in feet)
• Pipe = 7.48 the conversion to get feet of pipe into gallons

Titration Drop Manipulation:

SDC / (NV / OV) = NDC

• SDC= Standard or Original drop count in ppm
• NDC = New drop count in ppm
• NV = New volume
• OV = Original volume

Volume Calculation:

(120,000 x NaNO2) / Δ x (conversion) = Gallons in the system

• NaNO2 = the lbs. Of sodium nitrite added to the system
• Δ = the change in NaNO2 in the system from your addition
• Conversion = if you are using a nitrite test (not a sodium nitrite test), you will need to account for the fact you added sodium nitrite and only tested for nitrite. The conversion will be 1.5
• 120,000 the conversion/axiom that 1 pound of anything in 1,000 gallons of water will yield 120 ppm

Nitrite test procedure courtesy of Aquaphoenix: https://www.aquaphoenixsci.com/resources/procedures/?fileid=7368

Test Species Conversion:

What we add / what we test = conversion factor

Episode 115: Show Notes

Working in our day to day can be consuming, so consuming we sometimes forget how to market ourselves. When we are not the ones communicating our story, we can't control the message. Or even worse, we forget why we are doing what we are doing. That's where today's guest is going to help us.

Today's guest is Jeff Henderson, one of the best marketing people around. Jeff has an impressive resume. It includes working for The Atlanta Braves, Chick-Fil-A, and North Point Ministries. I'm going to guess what you are thinking; one of these things does not look like the others. Jeff went from selling chicken sandwiches to be the lead pastor at a church. Jeff brilliantly intertwines how secrets of the non-profit world can help the for-profit world. Just imagine what if your team loved their job so much that they were willing to do it for free. That is what the non-profit world experiences every day. Wouldn't it be great to learn from that perspective?

Join me as I interview Jeff about his new book, Know What You're FOR. You are sure to get some great information that you can put to use, today. Jeff's book is available by going to scalinguph20.com/for

Episode 114: Show Notes

This week we are getting ready for our 2020 goals. But before we get started on the next year, we are going to analyze the current year.

• What have you accomplished this year?

• Why did these items get accomplished?

• What did you not get accomplished this year?

• Why didn't these items get accomplished?

On today's show, we welcome returning guest, Tim Fulton. Tim is my business coach. Over the years that I have known him, he has given me a wealth of advice. One of these nuggets of advice, he gave me was to join a Mastermind Group. Now you are probably asking yourself, what's a Mastermind Group? And because we anticipated you asking that question, Tim is going to help explain exactly what a Mastermind Group is on this episode.

Please welcome Tim Fulton.

Pinks and Blues: Questions From the Nation!, Using Your Five Senses

Nation!, once a again friend of show James McDonald, CWT is trying to help us become better water treaters.

James wants to know "how do we use our five senses to be better water treaters?" While I answer his question, I don't think there is just one answer. After listening to this episode, ask yourself these questions:

• How would you answer, "how do we use our five senses to be better water treaters"?
• What can you do differently now you are thinking about your 5 senses?
• How can I protect my 5 senses?

This question just goes to show how it's not always the tough technical questions that make us better. It's thinking about the common, everyday things that truly make us better at our job.

Thanks James!

112 The One Where Trace Is Interviewed By Mark Lewis

Episode 112: Show Notes

This episode is all about lessons learned from when your friend, Mark Lewis, CWT, comes to your office. You see, Mark and I are both SCUBA Divers. We decided that we were going to celebrate Industrial Water Week by going SCUBA Diving in The Florida Keys. Pretty great idea, huh? You might have even seen the post we did during Industrial Water Week letting you know what we were doing.

As it turned out, Mark had other plans in addition to going SCUBA Diving with me. Mark planned another one of his turn the table around interviewed with me. You must give it to him with all the planning he did to make this happen. Mark knew I was working on podcast episodes the day he was coming in. So, he knew if he timed his arrival correctly, I would be in the middle of recording. Thereby ensuring my recording equipment would be on and ready to go. He then had one of the members of the Blackmore Enterprises team lure me out of my recording studio (my office.) When I returned, Mark was sitting at my interview table with a stack of questions waiting to interview me. Wow, didn't expect that...

So, please join Mark as he interviews Trace Blackmore, CWT.
