Welcome to the Diary of a Bald Man, where we delve into the heart of human connection and understanding. I'm your host Allen Woffard, and today, we're exploring a topic that demands our utmost attention: the critical need for active listening and engagement, especially when it comes to supporting those who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide or contemplating life-altering decisions. It's easy to underestimate the power of a conversation, to overlook the significance of a heartfelt exchange. But every word we speak and every ear that listens hold the potential to save a life. Suicide and life-altering decisions often don't happen overnight. They brew silently within the depths of a person's mind, obscured by a veil of fear, shame, or despair. Yet, amidst this darkness, there exists a beacon of hope: the power of genuine connection. Active listening isn't just about hearing words; it's about truly understanding the emotions behind them. It's about creating a safe space where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued. In a world where distractions abound and attention spans dwindle, the art of listening has never been more vital. But why does it matter? Because in the silence between words lies the opportunity to intervene, to offer support, and to guide someone back from the edge. It's about recognizing the warning signs, the subtle cues that often go unnoticed, and responding with empathy and compassion. So, join us as we embark on a journey to explore the transformative power of active listening and engagement. Together, let's unravel the complexities of the human experience and illuminate the path towards healing and resilience. Because in the symphony of life, every voice matters, and every listener holds the key to change. Thank you for tuning in.

The Great Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” When we pay it forward, are we doing so by presenting and providing in a positive and uplifting manner? Or are our actions inspired by guilt and personal greed? As individuals, we can live in the reflections of others, or we can be a vision that inspires and produces greatness in those who see us. Don’t be like the herd of sheep on the farm, where collectively you live to comfort and warm others in the future. Be a horse that gets someone from one location to another, and when the time comes to shed that mortal coil, they turn you into the glue that keeps everything together.

We often wonder if the messages we send, are getting to the ears that need it, and it appears that it is occurring. From here in the United States, through Europe, Latin America, and parts of the Pacific, people are listening, and engaging – what the hell were they thinking tuning into this show? This show was not intended to be part of the weekly podcast but because of the tremendous engagement after releasing "Get out of their box,” I had to record it to say thank you for listening, and the amazing support. This episode is dedicated to Betty Stout and JR. “To be able to listen -- really, wholly passively, self-effacingly listen -- without presupposing, classifying, improving, controverting, evaluating, approving or disapproving, without dueling with what is being said, without rehearsing the rebuttal in advance, without free-associating to portions of what is being said so that succeeding portions are not heard at all -- such listening is rare.” ― Abraham Maslow…

Get out of their box.. 35:56

Many of us are like chameleons; we try to adapt our physical, mental, and emotional projections to fill the eyes and mentality of those around us with what we think they want to see. It’s time to pull your ass out of the box and live without the fear of not being accepted. Be fat, blunt, and full of love – what you see in the mirror is the one you have to consider the most.…

How HR changed the sound of safety. 21:29

When I started to work on this episode, I knew it would be different for quite a few reasons. With JR working remotely with family in Washington state, I used AI-generated voices for the intro and outro, and it sucked! I was then fortunate enough to find the legendary Keith Krammer on Fiverr. With the assistance of a radio talk show professional and audio engineer, I changed the face of the show – forever/ So with this new approach and insight, I discuss two significant turns to the MICM program. I recently added the Two Vets podcast to interview military and first responder veterans who risked for total strangers and family every day and how their service changed their lives. And I discussed an app introduced by HR professionals, which has saved over 500 lives in east Tennessee and southwest North Carolina because it communicated safety in a whole new way for those listening. The future of this podcast series is going to be epic.

What do Colonel Harlan Sanders, Julia Childs, Duncan Hines, Ray Kroc, and I have in common? We would all have wait until we were after 50 to become famous. I just turned 54 on the 14th and found out three things. The first is that I did not win the lottery. Not a damn penny The second is that after getting my tattoo on Saturday at Crater City Ink that was mentioned in the intro, that if I was going to be gay for someone, then I would be Josh’s boo … I mean a fellow army medic and veteran, who took on being a fire fighter and paramedic as a civilian, and gets to draw tramp stamps on truck drivers and others? What the hell is not to love? He and his wife Lori are an incredible team, and Ronda and I love the hell out of them. And the third thing, that made me realize I was bound to be famous – was acknowledging that I am a salesman.…

Safety Outlook for 2022 16:31

So in this segment, I am discussing the – Safety Outlook for 2022 In the safety industry, many of us have been institutionalized these past two years by the effects of the pandemic and the severe conditions placed on them by OSHA and by the members of management not knowing how to deal with the events. The year has to start with reassessing the site or project for hazards or changes—updates to the safety programs, procedures, and how training will be accomplished. Some of the significant areas that will be affected include. Communication Teamwork - Teams will be hindered by social distancing, restrictions on materials. Technology - Many will work away from paper and pen because of the issues with common contact, lost documentation, and the ability to instantly share. Training - Many OSHA trainers have given up or nonrenewed their certification due to the high number of companies using online sources.…

1995 - Detroit Rock City 25:03

If 1990 was the bitch in my life, then 1995 was the start of the ball! Bill Clinton was president, the devastation Oklahoma City bombing occurred, OJ Simpson was not found guilty of murder, Mike Tyson was released from prison. Windows ’95, eBay, and PlayStation made their appearance after the Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian Mir space station, and Operation Desert Storm officially ended. While so many things were ending or changing, I was physically reintroduced to the world through the beginning of the Detroit News and Free Press strike in Detroit, Michigan. 1995 was the kick in the ass to move me from low, civilian drag to ball and leg busting tactical high speed at the speed of darkness. It was the start of a hellacious five-year ride in the world filled with labor unrest and wild west-like strikes. Detroit Free Press Strike ;…
