Mr. Holtz, let Vein Access Technologies improve the 'blood donation procedure' for your Techs and your Donors. VAT's STEM-method for the venipuncture and for the POC finger stick blood collection improve the success rate of the donation, reduces the compromise and failure rate, & improves the likelihood of a repeat donation. Current POC methods result in hemolysis of the blood sample, falsely indicating they are 'anemic', when they aren't. The new VAT method (gravity method) does NOT causes hemolysis - ACCURATE RESULTS follow. Current venipuncture methods frequently cause vein rupture, bruising, pain, fear - and sometimes long term recovery (from what should have been an inspirational donation), not to mention the occasional permanent injury. Not all veins are created equal; and not all veins should be stuck. PLEASE - THERE IS NOTHING TO LOSE by investigating VATmethod.com Or visit STEM21cVA.com for the science of it - The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access for Blood Donation book describes it all. This is a new era for ARC, with a new leader - it's time for a new/next generation venipuncture and POC blood collection. 😊

It's official, Focus Business Development Powered by Sandler Training is growing!! Please join me in welcoming Ralph Sachs to our Sandler team in Richmond. The Focus Business Development team now has a combined 64 years of Sandler Experience as clients and facilitators! That's a lot of knowledge and mileage to support growing businesses level up. We're excited to support clients in the Virginia markets with our combined experience, expertise, and diverse skill sets. To get to know Ralph better, read his message below: Throughout my career, I’ve sold advertising, houses, heating and air conditioning systems, and even cultural change. For the last 25 years, I’ve been with Albemarle Heating & Air, most recently serving as the General Manager. My sales career began when I was just 10 years old, prospecting for customers on my TV Guide route. It's been 18 years since I was first introduced to Sandler, and it's been a transformative journey ever since. Everything changed when I read “You Can’t Teach a Kid to Ride a Bike at a Seminar.” I was instantly hooked. The Sandler tools didn’t just make me a better salesperson; they made me a better manager, a better husband, and a better father. Not the best, mind you—only better. Being the best is a never-ending journey. Now, joining Mike and Patrick at Sandler by Focus Business Development, I have the incredible opportunity to use the Sandler tools I've learned to help salespeople, sales leaders, and businesses improve. I want to help them be better—not just at work, but at home too. One thing I often say is, “I get more satisfaction out of hearing how the tools and concepts from Sandler have helped people in their personal lives than in their professional roles.” It's incredibly fulfilling to know that what we do can have such a profound impact. My journey with Sandler has been about growth and betterment, and I’m excited to continue this journey, helping others achieve their best selves, one step at a time.

I agree. Nor, indeed, should they any longer be given for political service (or working in civil service, as SPADs, etc) or for leverage. This includes being placed in the Lords (just take a look at who Johnson put there, and consider what they might have done to 'deserve' it). Also consider that people in a position to 'hold something over' others in a position to make or recommend awards (lying, infidelity, etc etc) can in some cases receive a meal ticket for life (currently £342 for each day that they enter the chamber, irrespective of time spent in it). Fine for many of the hard working members, but not chancers. The whole system was already questionable, but the current party of power has pushed it over the edge. Any politician that now accepts such awards could (rightly or wrongly) be seen as tainted or having been influenced or corrupted in some way. Such a shame for those who deserve civil recognition. There should be a full and auditable and public trail, to see how any particular award was given, the person(s) involved, and criteria used.

“The experience was like getting thrown feet-first into a pool, trying to learn how to swim. Fortunately, because of the Lewis leaders in the area, I was able to learn the ins and outs of all the utilities that we were serving and tried my best to make things more successful than they had been.” Back in April 2023, Shane Greene, at that time a Supervisor in our Tennessee division, got a call from a Regional VP Matt Meador out of the blue. Some crews in another division had lost their home utility and needed to temporarily relocate from Oklahoma to South Carolina. Matt needed someone to move with the team and oversee the transition. Shane stepped up to the plate. Another time, Shane was asked to help another division with bidding for a utility contract. His division does a lot of bidding, so without hesitation he and another supervisor traveled to Indiana to teach the division their bidding process and cross-check their bids. These are just a couple of examples of Shane’s leadership here at Lewis. Thanks to his military background, Shane is used to going into new organizations with new personnel and fixing what’s going wrong while reinforcing what’s going well. So, when different divisions in the company need help with special projects, Shane is the one they call. Shane says the special projects he’s involved in can sometimes be a challenge, but he always finds the divisions he works with willing to help. He says what’s great about working at Lewis is that the company’s mission and operating principles connect everyone, and that makes it easy for him to step into different divisions and assist in any way he can. “We share common morals and values, and we all want to see the mission through,” he says. “It doesn’t matter which division you go to, we’re all speaking the same language. We all want to get the job done right.” To learn more about how we do leadership differently here at Lewis, visit https://hubs.ly/Q02g9J3y0. #LeadershipInAction #EmployeeOwners #PowerON

In a defining week for Seattle football, a legend in Pete Carroll steps down, the heartbreak of losing the national championship game lingers, and the spark for the future heads to Alabama with Kalen DeBoer's departure stirring mixed emotions. Amidst these changes, I have to pause to honor the profound journey DeBoer has navigated. His grit, determination, and unwavering commitment to actualizing goals have indelibly marked the path. In my own transformative journey, transitioning from Coast Guard service to a new career, I am bring a unique perspective forged through purposeful translation of military precision and leadership into critical business functionalities. Evolving with each career progression, the foundational elements shift, yet enduring core principles enrich decision-making, foster innovation, and drive transformative outcomes within security operations, investigations, and crisis management. Change, I've learned, not only presents growth opportunities but a chance to apply these enduring lessons in my next chapter. Here's to embracing transitions and building on the foundation laid by legends like Pete Carroll and the unique path forged by Kalen DeBoer. 🏈#opentowork #securitymanagement #crisismanagement #investigations #seahawks #huskeyfootball #petecarroll #KalenDeBoer #Grit #LeadershipBrand #Resilience
