Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Today’s Bottom Line is more on communication. Each of us has a need to effectively communicate. Recently I bought a book about communication. It is called “Made to Stick” (the book cover is posted below). This book demonstrates how important it is to realize that it is not what we say, but how we say it. The book goes into excellent detail on “how” to get your communication to stick. I have had the book for nearly 3 weeks and am only about 2/3 done. It is so powerful that I can only read 3-4 pages at a time otherwise I get info overload. If communication is important in your career, I highly recommend picking up a copy.

TBL: Any book that has duct tape on the cover has got to be made for engineers!

Today was the one day of my life that I have spent in London. Check out the pictures – Mike, Barry, and I walked nearly 12 miles while seeing all of these sights. In order they are: Platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross, the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, the monument to the fire of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Piccadilly Circus. I have another big set of today’s pics ready for tomorrow’s blog. Happy Saturday.
