PINGS
Thank you to Ann Riegle Crichton for speaking at our June PINGS meeting, our topic was Negotiating Personality Pitfalls in the workplace. Each person has their own unique perspective. Consider this when resolving conflicts. There are four different types and each one has unique strengths and weaknesses, ideally we would be a little of each of them. Ann went through all four types and it was interesting watching the attendees as they identified themselves as one of the types; think of the perspectives of Winnie the Pooh, Eor, Tiger and Rabbit! Ann had some great tips after explaining the various personalities, a couple are: Emotions overrule intellect in times of crisis. Focus on the concrete reality, not emotional misperceptions. Control your own attitude and demeanor, tame your body language. ALL communication transactions have a result, visualize what you want that result to be before you start talking!
Attend our July 21st PINGS; Lisa Seibert will be discussing Social Media on a Schedule. Please RSVP by July 15th.
Another Thank you and good luck; this one to Jeff Jaehnen, who is leaving the Kleptz YMCA to become the Chief Executive Officer of the YMCA of Southern Indiana. Jeff is another great loss to the Northmont Community, having been with the YMCA here for 15 years, been involved in many local organizations and served on the Northmont Chamber Board and is a Past President of the Board. He is another one who didn’t hesitate to volunteer his time and offer great input. Jeff was the chair of our 2016 Golf Outing and did a great job. Good luck with your new job & thank you.

Preventing Heat Related Illnesses
By Gary W. Hanson, President of American Safety & Health Management Consultants, Inc.
Summertime is a good time of year; time for outside activities, sports, home projects and general family fun. However, for those who are required to work outside, especially strenuous work, the summertime can create serious safety and health risks. Each year thousands of workers suffer heat related illnesses, up to and including death. In order to maintain proper body temperature, the body must dissipate excess heat. A rise in temperature of 2 to 3 degrees can start to make an individual feel sick. If the body temperature rises higher, more serious repercussions may occur. The body continuously tries to release heat by increasing the flow of blood to the skin. This allows heat to be released into the air, and the body starts to perspire. As perspiration evaporates, the body is cooled. If the body is subject to more heat than can be dissipated, the body temperature starts to rise and the body’s temperature-regulating system can become overloaded. This can be especially dangerous during strenuous activity. When this happens: Too much blood flows to the skin, and less is available for the brain, muscles and internal organs. The body can lose large quantities of fluid and salt. Perspiration doesn’t evaporate quickly enough, and the body retains heat. The temperature regulating system breaks down and sweating stops completely. One or all of the above can cause a series of heat stress related disorders.
To avoid heat related disorders, it is recommended that employees practice the following safety tips: Drink plenty of water; the body can lose up to 3 gallons of water in one day. Avoid alcohol - alcohol causes dehydration. Eat lightly - this reduces the need for the body to send blood to digest large meals, taking blood away
from the skin. Rest as necessary - this gives the body a chance to cool off. Rest in the shade or a well ventilated
area. Plan the work -- if possible. Try to do most strenuous work during the cooler periods of the day. Pace yourself - work at a steady rate, avoiding overexertion. Use proper personal protection equipment when working outside wear:
Hats with protective brims Sunglasses Sweatbands Light clothing, preferably cotton which will allow air to circulate and sweat to evaporate.
Any employee having problems should report these immediately. Ensure steps are taken to reduce the problem. Provide a ready source of water; allow the employee a chance to rest if necessary. Have employees soak their clothes in cool water to encourage the body to cool. Seek medical care if signs of heat stress become apparent. If you have any questions or need assistance with your safety program please call American Safety and Health Management Consultants, Inc., at 1-800-356-1274.
Small Business Resource RallyLast month Montgomery County Business First held a rally at MVCTC, the purpose was to provide small and minority-owned businesses with information on local tools and resources to make them more successful. The attendees were welcomed by County Commissioner Judy Dodge followed by a Small business panel moderated by County Commissioner Debbie Lieberman. The Panel was made up of successful business owners: Marlene Jones (Earth Angels), Bill Kindred (Kindred Funeral Home) and Heena Rathore (TrueChoice Pack). The panel answered questions concerning good experiences as well as challenges they’ve gone through. They also discussed issues such as funding and workforce to name a few.
County Commissioner Dan Foley moderated comments from some of the resource partners: Where to Start: Business First! Michael Norton Smith, SBDC- Pat Newcomb Local Chambers- Cathy Hutton and Dayton Metro Library-Ann Riegel-Crichton
Workforce/Training was discusses by: Ohio Means Jobs Montgomery County- Marie Davis Miami Valley Career Technology Center- Amy Leedy Business Solutions Center- Eric Collins (Montgomery County)
Small Business Financing MicroEnterprise Program- Michael Norton-Smith MBAC MicroEnterprise Program- Roshawn Winburn
This is a very brief overview of the wonderful information provided to the small and minority-owned businesses. There are a lot of great partners in Montgomery County to help our businesses succeed, if you have any questions feel free to call the Chamber and I will get you in touch with the proper person.
Thank you again for inviting me to this great event.
