Emergency Response

Perhaps you've wondered what happens when a large or exotic animal passes in a zoo or aquarium. While not the most upbeat of topics, it is one that we have to deal with from time to time and it's best to be clear about how it works! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

If you're anything like me, the paperwork side of your job can be entirely overwhelming. There are ways to streamline and make necessary actions a lot easier and more palatable. Let's discuss ways we can get back to the fun parts of our work! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

It is unlikely that visitors ever give much thought to what medications might be onsite at their favorite aquarium or zoo or how they are used. The innovation of veterinarians should be celebrated and respected, as medications and healthcare are crucial to good animal care. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

Change is hard. Resistance can appear in many different forms. Today we discuss the many ways resistance to change might appear and how to turn it into something helpful and useful. It isn't the end of the world and it could actually help bring about a better future. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

We all get a bit older. Animals are no different! How do aquariums and zoos navigate the challenges that accompany advancing age and decreased mobility? Well... with the welfare of the animal in mind of course!

We've all been frustrated by people who don't want to listen, but how practiced at it are we ourselves? Have you paid close attention to what you do when someone else speaks? Why does it matter? Today we discuss the challenges of truly listening.

Having a goal in mind is important for the progress of any organizations. Today we discuss the benefits and challenges of discussing where we're going, why we're going there, and why we need to plan how we get there. Fun times with strategic planning! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

Communication is complicated. When you're trying to get people to come along with you, there should be some clarity about the end goal. Don't just tell people what you don't want, tell them what you do want! www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

What do power outages, hurricanes, zombie apocalypses, floods, wars, diver injuries, guest falls, and epidemics have in common? These are things that zoos and aquariums discuss and prepare for just to be ready! (Okay, maybe zombie apocalypse isn't on the list...) www.patreon.com/aquatizoo [email protected] www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple
