Let’s go! Forward progress on creating the future of public safety in Minneapolis! With leadership from Mayor Frey and team, the city is moving forward on implementing the Safe and Thriving Communities plan! This is a catalyzing moment in time, as not only the executive team is fully engaged, but also last week the City Council ratified implementation with a 12-0 vote. Over the next year, a team from NYU Policing Project will be working with the city and me to build out the foundation of preventive, responsive, and restorative services. As with any major transformation, this is just a step (albeit a big one) forward. Sustaining progress will be key. In my estimation it will take two or three years to see improvements in the city, perhaps five years to see changes in community outcomes, and likely seven to ten years to set the standard and model for the nation. But if any city can do it, Minneapolis can! https://lnkd.in/dtR6bSD8 You can download the Safe and Thriving Communities Plan and Report here: https://lnkd.in/deFFhaxK While tailored for Minneapolis, much can be learned and applied in other cities. Let’s start a movement!

ECAS Enforcement Teams, out spreading the messages against FOG; looking more like a Parking Enforcement or FOG SWAT Team!! Water Companies outsourcing their Regulatory obligations to private FOG SWAT Teams needs industry debate! Do you really need hi vis, body cams, radios and all that PPE to take a look at a kitchen's grease management?

What a smart move. Everyone knows there's plenty of options out there. Welcome to the "dark side". LOL! Isn't that what some companies try to convince you? Everyone also knows the truth. Hey, are you thinking about making the move? 🤔 Maybe you're feeling "stuck" out of fear... 😨 Fear of losing your clients... ✔ Truth is, you made those clients for the company. ✔ The right ones will follow you. There are plenty out there who need you. Fear of losing deferred compensation... 😱 ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the lion share of all comp. They're holding back some of the comp you earned. They're giving it as quarterly bonuses to the top producers. They're stuffing some in deferred comp. ✔ Truth is, we don't get that kind of bonus here. We don't have deferred comp. Why? Because we get to keep the entire amount we earned right away. Fear of losing your agents... 😨 ✔ Come on man! Don't you know about the leadership skills of our National Recruiting Director? 🤗 Lyn Godfrey Or her drive? Or her heart? There is no quit. ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the overwrites on their agents on your team when the agent leaves. You're an employee. ⁉ Why try to train 10 agents a month to watch 9 leave only to give the clients and overrides on the 9 agents' clients to the company? Insert whatever fear you're choosing to believe. Fear is a liar. How do you handle a prospect at the kitchen table in this situation? Use that tactic on yourself. Don't let fear manage your career! 😎
