Awaken Your Day - Toolbox Talk

So, in construction, part of the standard before a shift is the Tool Box talk. In short, the team or crew get together, they discuss a safety topic that is new for the day but supports the overall culture by triggering awareness. Then they will review the working conditions, weather, other activities around their work area.
They discuss the plan for the day and all they need to execute that plan. "Are you fit for duty?" gets asked and everyone and then answers accordingly.

Without realizing it, everyone does a little checklist in their head on this one, Or so I think so.

And then they do their hazard analysis and identify what can be done to mitigate the hazards around their work plan.

There are many quiet parallels between our work processes and our personal processes. Often we are surprised to find how interchangable, and valuable they are.

So ... with respect to our Personal Toolbox talk before we tackle the world today ... Are you fit for duty? Do you have all your Tools? Have we identified the risks we face?

Fit - energized, determined, success minded, positive.
Tools - drive, desire, great self esteem, Belief, proven success list.
Risk mitigation - stress is a modified tool and therefore not allowed on site so we ditch it. Doubt is an unproven and non engineered plan so we ditch it.

You have what it takes to find many definitions of success every day. Keep those simple words in your toolbox all day.

Now ... get living.
Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You - working the plan.
