1. Thoughts from home
What’s the responsibility of experts?
Several years ago, John and I remodeled our master bathroom on the second floor.
Keeping with our home’s southwest style and colors, we installed a beautiful
custom tile shower. John and I designed the shower with the help of an interior
design consultant. Because of the custom design and the odd shape of floor, it
was necessary for our tile installer to use a rubber membrane over concrete for
the floor liner. Over the course of
two years this rubber floor liner failed twice, causing water damage to the
ceiling below. Each time the floor had
to be ripped out and replaced after minor design changes.
So what went wrong not once, but twice? We asked our professional tile installer
Phil who is a good guy and has been installing tile for more than twenty years.
Phil answered. “Well,” he slowly started, “I knew that design wasn’t right.”
“What?” we replied. “Why didn’t you tell us at the beginning?
And then why didn’t you tell us after it
leaked the first time?” Silence.
“Well, I was hoping it would be OK.”
Obviously it wasn’t.
Moral of the story: Whether a tile installer or insurance professional,
customers rely on service providers’ knowledge, expertise, and the willingness
to offer advice. A professional’s responsibility is to speak up to avoid future
problems including financial and physical loss.

2. Did you know…?
Executive Book Summaries (www.summary.com)
makes a perfect holiday gift for learning-minded business professionals. I’ve
been a subscriber for fifteen years. Back then, the monthly summaries came in
the mail to be stored in a three-ring binder. Now my subscription automatically
downloads to my Kindle (or any other mobile device) and can either be read or
heard in audio. As a bonus, subscribers have access to webinars with top
authors, free newsletters, and author interviews. Past summaries are archived in
their online library. I have the $199 Premium Online plan. Plans are also
available at $99 and $229.
Why not treat yourself or someone else to a gift that challenges the mind?

3. Thoughts from the office
Inspiring words
With all the travel I do, I rarely buy souvenirs. I’ve found that pictures
provide the best remembrance of interesting adventures and good times.
After visiting the Mohammad Ali Center in Louisville, KY, I made an exception. I
was captivated by the exhibits and videos that conveyed his remarkable life
story. His guiding principles are
written on the walls surrounding the displays - respect, conviction, confidence,
dedication, giving, and spirituality. What a great choice of words to nourish a
meaningful life!
Not only did I buy a beautiful motivational coffee mug to inspire me in my
office, I bought a T-shirt that has his powerful words displayed on the back. No
doubt Mohammad Ali would be pleased that I’m wearing his message to inspire
others.
