I love supporting pros who make a difference in their own communities everyday 24/7.

Brand new FEMA #NDPTC Social Media Engagement Strategies at State of Colorado EOC
I am honored to bring a brand new social media course out: FEMA/NDPTC Social Media Engagement Strategies
This particular social media course has been under development for the past few years. With it’s first delivery in the Pacific NW in 2015. But the best part is today’s course is in Colorado!
At the heart of FEMA Region 8 – these peeps know their stuff.
State of Colorado PIO Micki Trost welcoming all the participants in the class.
Many of the PIOs in class today are from almost all ESFs including a strong contingent from ESF-01: Transportation!
Great partnerships with local, state, Federal partners, and DoD representatives in class today.
I also got a chance to share my field deployable PIO Kit (aka my man bag / man purse / European carry all)
Great discussion on social media and how to increase engagement on various platforms including Slackk, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, Musicaly, SoundFile, and of course a few tips on how to have a corrrdinated approach to dissemination of information to external partners as well as internal employees. Remember, all internal employees (if they consent) could be brand ambassadors of their agency.
Active in class discussion as well as spirited activity in class w/ EOC and VOST teams can mutually benefit if both understand the needs and requests.
And also a VERY special shout out to the courses creator: Cheryl “HAZMAT MiniVan” Bledsoe. #famous
Obv, MaryJo and I are stoked to be the first instructors to bring this to Colorado!
Stay safe peeps, it’s only Wednesday.
Engage on social media like a MoFo and always do good stuff.

Hoping these #Spectacles are neeto
Well, it’s almost like wearing a helmet around all the time.
Wearable tech is the next big hardware gap. Fitness trackers and blue tooth headsets are indoctrinating many of you into accepting the next wave. Just get the chip implanted will ya?!?
In the meantime, I’ll be styling.
I’m gonna straight nerd it up now. I’m bringing #nerdyback
Trust me, I read through ALL my evaluations
Monday morning..in the office.
As an Emergency Management Instructor, I read through all my evaluations. Like ALL evaluations.
It helps better my instructional delivery as a professional as well gain valuable insight to how participants perceive our enabling learning objectives and key points.
The comments below are from a course I taught last week.
“I have taken a couple dozen or so FEMA classes and these two are the best pair of instructors I have had!”
