Peer pressure can affect anyone of any age because we all want to be accepted, or to be part of a group we admire. Giving in to peer pressure is usually more comfortable than avoiding it because we’re afraid of being different.

• Group acceptance. People have a natural tendency to conform. They don’t want to stand out, or they want to be accepted, so they listen to their friends, co-workers, and associates. Unfortunately, people around you don’t always support your goals or don’t have goals of their own. They may put you down for different reasons altogether. Acceptance is important, so join the right group that will influence your decisions in a positive way.

• Negative people. Many times we adjust our behavior and attitude to match those of the majority, and we don’t pay attention to our own feelings. If being around negative people gives you a pang, it’s the subconscious telling you it’s not right for you to be around them. You can’t change negative people, but you can try to distance them from your life.

• Network to your advantage. Get in with a different group of people. Start joining associations or get involved with people who are trying to do and achieve the same things you are.

• Who is your “tribe”? Your tribe is a group of people who have interests and goals like yours. Being with them allows you to be authentic, feel confident, and have the support of like-minded people.

Stay strong and true to yourself. If something doesn’t feel right, or you’re surrounded by negative people, take them out of your life. If you can’t do that (for whatever reason), then limit your exposure to them. Don’t let them cause you to stray from your goals.

Code video 440.4 Marking on Hermetic Motor Compressors and Equipment
Want to know how easy it is to size the conductor and breaker or fuse for hermetic motor compressor equipment? It’s simple, just follow the equipment manufacturer’s nameplate ratings for sizing the minimum conductor and maximum overcurrent protection sizes as explained in the National Electrical Code section 440.4. Ever heard that guy who says, “you can’t protect that 10 AWG with a 50A circuit breaker.” Don’t be “that guy”!

Watch the video where Mike and the team explain how to interpret hermetic motor compressor nameplate markings that are required by 440.4.

Becoming a Great Instructor - 19 of 20

I have been teaching for over 50 years and I'm proud of the impact I've had on the lives of my students. I want to share the experience and wisdom I've gained so that you too can learn how to make a difference and change lives. I trust that you'll find new and fresh ways to reach and engage your audience and reexamine your commitment to education.

The Presentation, Part 3

Note Taking. Should your students be taking notes? Useful analysis of the pros and cons and what your expectations should be.
Structure. Make sure that your scope and slides are organized and structured.

Questions. Great insight into taking and answering questions from the class.

So, how did you do in your presentation?
Always distribute evaluation forms to the attendees, and do it during your last afternoon break, and not at the end of the class. Doing so will give them the time to fill it out. The are specific questions to put on the survey, and the information you'll get back will help you learn how to improve.
Mike and the panel dive into the details. There's some really great advice on this video clip...

I've been involved in the electrical industry for over 50 years, and I'm still passionate about our industry. This is my second post about 'my story.' Maybe it will inspire others to reach their potential.
In the 1970s, I started at the bottom and built a strong foundation of knowledge, experience, and licenses.
In the 1980's I stopped electrical contracting to focus my energies on training and developing additional training programs, CEU seminars, and my first 1984 Code Change book.
I created an electrical estimating software system that is still used today (40 years).
I started my partnership with Electrical Construction and Maintenance (EC&M) Magazine in 1980 (going on over 45 years).
As for me and my house, I will serve the Lord [Joshua 24:15].

Every year Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) claims several new victims. As more people start taking to their boats and boat docks, it's important to remind you of the hidden dangers, so you can do your part to help keep families safe around lakes and marinas.

James Shafer and Capt. David Rifkin began a research journey to discover how electricity in the water can incapacitate and kill. Ground fault leakage into the water causes electrical gradients to form. If a person gets in one of these gradients, a current will flow through the body. Currents as low as 10ma can cause paralysis of limbs preventing a person from staying afloat, resulting in drowning. Higher currents can cause the heart to fail directly resulting in death. There is no warning of this situation, and there is no post-mortem indication available absent any burn marks associated with direct contact with an electrical source. There are likely hundreds of deaths and injuries associated with electrical leakage into the water that aren’t reported as such.

It also happens in swimming pools and spas but since they are designed for swimming, they have more extensive protection equipment installed, and stricter grounding and bonding requirements.

ESD can also be caused by submerged irrigation pumps. Sadly, many of these are purchased at home stores and installed by homeowners using extension cords. And people are swimming right over them, within a few feet!
Bottom line: DON’T SWIM WITHIN ABOUT 50 YARDS OF ANY KNOWN ELECTRICAL SOURCES. Marinas are required to have an annual inspection of the electrical system to include ALL connections, but inspections are few and far between.
