⚽ A recent episode of Ted Lasso is getting attention for something we’ve been studying here for years: emotional co-regulation — how a calm, supportive presence can help another person navigate big emotions and get back on track. In the recent “Follow the Anger” episode, Ted sends a powerful message about how to show up when someone is upset.

In partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), Public Strategies developed resources to make the science of self- and co-regulation more practical and accessible for educators, coaches, mentors, and the people who support others every day.

At its core, co-regulation happens when caring adults help others regulate their thoughts, feelings and behaviors so they can stay on track with their goals. 💛 Check out our animated video to learn how your calm can help someone else find their emotional footing — and play their very best.

May your today be entirely unlabored. 😌

A vital reset from the humdrum and routines — restful, purposeful, and full of the people and pursuits you love.

And if your “day off” happens to involve a big project, may it leave you with something just as valuable: fresh vision and renewed perspective for the work ahead. ✨

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Public Strategies. 🇺🇸

Last week, nearly 900 Developmental Disabilities Services professionals gathered at 12 locations across Oklahoma for InSIGHT, the fourth annual DDS Statewide Training hosted by Public Strategies.

Together, they explored fresh perspectives, strengthened their skills and discovered new possibilities for supporting individuals and families. One mission drives it all: turning information into understanding, understanding into action, and action into better service.

Setting the stage for insights to become action is a driving force behind everything we do — from event planning and virtual production to training and technical assistance.

A huge round of applause to the Oklahoma Human Services / DDS team, provider agencies, speakers and partners who made the 2026 PossABLE Statewide Training such a meaningful experience for more than 800 professionals across Oklahoma! 👏

And kudos to our Public Strategies, One Set Studio, and NextThought teams for making the magic happen behind the scenes. 🎥✨

In event management, precision is the product. 🎯

The registration site that works flawlessly. The run-of-show that accounts for every contingency. The travel manifest with zero errors. That's what clients experience as a great event — and it's the work of someone who cares about getting details right when nobody's watching.

Public Strategies is hiring an Events Specialist in Oklahoma City. You'd own registration systems (Cvent), venue and vendor logistics, travel operations, and virtual/hybrid event production end to end — planning and executing independently, with clear expectations and defined handoffs.

If you're the person who catches the discrepancy in row 400 of the spreadsheet and builds the checklist before anyone asks for one, we should talk.
