Our summer vacation draws to a close, and we wanted to share some ideas we're working on for our fall season! You've given us great feedback on topic ideas, on our format and on ways to improve, and with more than 1,400 subscribers (on iTunes and to the website), you're a loud voice!

Some great material is coming up. We left last season with the STARS cliffhanger - how to succeed in your first 90 days of a new role - and we will finish and recap that management model for you. We'll also talk about the cult of "evidence based medicine", and why it looks more and more like the confirming evidence trap and less like an agnostic view of the facts.

I also give a schedule of retention and leadership talks I'm giving over the next few months. I hope to see you at them -- let me know you're a viewer! I'll be one of a two-person team at the Tidewater EMS Council facility in Norfolk this weekend talking about retention, and I'll be spending two days on retention and recruitment at a large event in West Virginia. The Self-Aware Leader presentation has been reworked and added to for this year's Virginia EMS Symposium in Norfolk, held this November.

I look forward to seeing you, and I'm excited about the fall season. See you soon!
