Our engineering team sees a lot of energy myths and we are ready to set the record straight. The first energy myth we want to debunk is whether or not it saves energy to on run your Air Conditioning when you need it. This is true! It takes less power to let the heat rise and turn on the AC to lower the temperature when you need it cooler. For example, if you are going to be gone during the day for work, you should set your AC at a high temperature and then turn it back down when you get home.

It’s Metaphor Monday!
This is a hot button with me. In our fast paced world of increasingly tighter deadlines, higher Customer expectations, and constantly evolving standards for correspondence, there is one trait that trumps all others if you truly want to succeed… communication!
In talking with vendors, contractors, support staff, or employees, I am pretty patient with someone being behind schedule, with a delivery problem, or someone having an occasional personal issue, as long as they talk to me. Not doing so, is simply not an option if you aspire to higher levels.
When establishing rules of engagement between team members, or customers, in today’s world of multimedia, always ask, “How do you prefer that I communicate with you?”. Those nine words will save you countless hours of needless frustration.
Here’s Ken’s Metaphor for Success #4:
My maternal Grandfather Wycoff was a School Administrator and an English Teacher. One of his prized sayings was “there are numerous reasons in our world to be poor, however there is absolutely no reason to sound that way”. I believe it wholeheartedly. Much of my success can be attributed to effective correspondence, whether speaking to groups, or writing letters and memos, no question. Prompt return correspondence is the remaining piece of the Communication puzzle. People gradually lose respect for those that don’t communicate well. Extraordinary communicators usually go on to do great things.
