Business Writing for leaders

Subject:
You can make a difference in Global’s future

Introducing Global’s Customer Loyalty (GCL) program
Quality—in every aspect of our work—is essential for Global’s future. GCL is our strategy for staying ahead of the competition. Providing our customers with measurable added value requires that we work together, communicate better, and focus on continuously improving our processes. It’s a corporate challenge—and an individual challenge.



What actions are we taking in Field Service?
We are working to provide superior service by


1) responding more quickly and thoroughly to our customers’ needs
2) writing to our customers in ways that make them feel served and listened to
3) giving customer-service representatives intensive telephone training
4) implementing employee incentive programs.



What are your next steps?
1) Read the attached booklet to learn more.
2) Begin now to improve how you do your job. Every small improvement counts.
3) Note changes you and others could make to improve customer service in your area.
4) Keep track of your ideas on pages 4-6 of the attached booklet so you can share them with others.



What are the payoffs for you and your people?
Maintaining Global’s worldwide leadership means enormous payoffs for you:

1) being part of a profitable company that delights customers
2) greater likelihood of long-range job security
3) more involvement as you help us pinpoint and solve problems
4) greater opportunity to rise in the organization based on ability
more meaningful, challenging work.


Your manager will give you a GCL schedule and description by Nov. 1st
Changes will take effect program by program as we refine our plans. When we launch the initiative company-wide, we will stagger the rollout to minimize impact on our customers.



Employee teams are vital to the program’s success.
GCL will include formal efforts, large and small, to bring us closer together as a company. To set this program in motion in Field Service, we’ll invite many employees from all levels to help us


1) examine our needs
2) develop a plan
3) establish goals and a schedule
4) define roles for other teams within the divisions
5) set up training.

The Game of Life and how to play it

CONGRATULATIONS! You scored 100% similar to .You are also a DaVinci Type Entrepreneur!



Learn About Your Rare DaVinci Personality Type ...



Less than 10% of the world's population are DaVinci types.


Some Notable DaVinci Type Entrepreneurs:


Richard Branson, Virgin empire
Bill Gates, Microsoft
David G. Neeleman, JetBlue Airways
P. Diddy, Bad Boy Entertainment
Ben Cohen, Ben & Jerry's
Steve Jobs, Apple and Pixar
Oprah Winfrey, Harpo, Inc.
Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company
Walt Disney


Why is your personality called "the DaVinci type"?

Because you have the same personality type and temperament as the great Leonardo da Vinci. Some of the similarities include:
You crave thrill, excitement and speed
You are a highly creative problem solver
You are impulsive and intuitive
You are ambitious and industrious
You have tons of energy
You love being the hero in emergencies
(Did you know? Bill Gates' appetite for risk has made him infamous for driving his Porsche recklessly fast, and he has felt such affinity with Leonardo da Vinci that he bought one of his notebooks for $30 Million.
“I've been fascinated by Da Vinci's work since I was 10," confesses Gates.)


Discover the Secret Power of Your DaVinci Type Personality.
All of the great entrepreneurs listed above know the secret to their Davinci type personality. That's what has allowed them to become wildly successful. DaVinci type entrepreneurs either tend to be phenomenally successful or they crash and burn. Sorry, but there's not much middle ground for your personality type.

The secret to your success as a DaVinci type entrepreneur involves minimizing the neurotic expression of your personality, which results in common pitfalls like:

- Procrastination
- Distractibility
- Irritability
- Addiction
- Listlessness & Depression
- Feeling like a Fraud
- Fear of Success


In order to overcome the negative side of your personality and enjoy the incredible capacity you share with the highest achievers in the world, you must know how to manage this uniquely powerful temperament of yours.

There is a brand new book available just for DaVinci types like yourself. It details how you can move from the negative expression of your temperament into your highly productive and brilliant positive expression. You are capable of amazing genius and inventiveness, but first you have to learn how to get out of your own way.

DaVinci type entrepreneurs have the capacity to be more brilliant than anyone else, but they also have tendencies that can get them in a lot of unnecessary trouble. Learn how to experience the best of your DaVinci type personality right away...

Are You The Next Rebel Billionaire?
Richard Branson – the rebel self-made billionaire of Virgin – obviously is a DaVinci type entrepreneur. This temperament makes him a risk taker, a thrill seeker, and a rebel, but most of all it makes him a brilliant entrepreneur. This has helped him build an empire out of the Virgin brand. Do you have a similar opportunity?

Remember virtually all wildly successful entrepreneurs have the DaVinci type personality trait – the only difference between all of them and you is that they intuitively know how to use the secret strengths that come with their DaVinci temperament, and maybe you don't. … That is, until now …

Are You a "Renaissance Man"?
How does your personality relate to the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci? Da Vinci – arguably the greatest artist & inventor ever – clearly was a risk taker and was great at starting projects (sometimes not so good at finishing them), but he used his temperament to propel himself to greatness. You can too. How did he do it? He knew the secret. Keep reading …

Did you know that Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were ridiculed by their grade-school teachers as “problem students” because of their DaVinci type personalities? What saved these men can save you too. What made them great can do the same for you.

Did you know the first great American Entrepreneur, Benjamin Franklin was probably very similar in temperament to you?

Take the same journey from struggling to greatness taken by Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney and all the other great creators and thought leaders who had the DaVinci temperament, just like you.


Are You a Great Leader at Heart?

What makes great leaders is the ability to connect with people and the ability to constantly adapt in order to be leading in the most relevant way for each moment.
Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and all had the DaVinci temperament. Great politicians and charismatic leaders all tend to have the DaVinci personality type.

What's the difference between all of these people who have used their DaVinci temperament to succeed, and the rest who have this temperament, but just crash and burn and struggle?

Now, when you order - You'll get this special bonus e-book FREE:
Think & Grow Rich (Written especially for those with the DaVinci temperament.)

He interviewed over 504 successful DaVinci type entrepreneurs:

Henry Ford
Thomas Edison
Theodore Roosevelt
John D. Rockefeller
Dr. Alexander Graham Bell

"Whatever success I may have attained I owe, entirely, to the application of your 17 fundamental principles of the Law of Success. I believe I have the honor of being your first student."

2nd Free Bonus: The Game of Life (& How to Play It)

I love this book!

This book is one of my all time favorites. It's not a long book (only 84 pages) but it's QUALITY. The author is very in touch with how the unconscious mind works and how you can befriend this intelligence to make your life beautiful. The teachings in this book work quite well within the framework of The DaVinci Method. I thought you might enjoy it and benefit from it as much as I have, so I've gone out of my way to find a way to include a copy of this book with your purchase of The DaVinci Method - and here it is!

Average Customer Review:based on 48 reviews.
67 of 71 people found the following review helpful: This Book will change your Life! , August 4, 1999
Reviewer:
Laura Zane Aveton (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews I have read many self development books yet it was this book that made me finally understand how simple it really is. Success in all areas of your Life is not hard to attain at all-- that is of course, if you know the game and how to play it!
I can not stress enough the positive impact that you will see happen in your life and the people's lives around you when you read this book and apply the principles and affirmations. You will begin to see all your dreams start to come true right before your eyes and you'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe it was that simple..."
If you won't invest in The DaVinci Method for yourself, do it for your kids. Because the DaVinci temperament is genetic, chances are your kids have it if you do. Most DaVinci type children learn to not trust themselves, feel inferior, frustrated and have low self-esteem all because they were raised by parents and teachers who didn't understand them and never witnessed to their brilliance.
What did the mothers of Richard Branson & Thomas Edison do differently?
Find out in The DaVinci Method. I'll show you how to raise your children to build trust in their access to prolific genius, have high self-worth and love themselves enough to be wildly successful.
Remember, if for any reason you are unsatisfied you have a 30-Day 100% Money-Back Satisfaction Guarantee.

Describe a day in your life - 10 years from now..

On a forum I belong to, someone handsome and delicious recently started a thread entitled “Describe a day in your life - ten years from now”. Here’s what I came up with. Disclaimer: I have a reputation for being a braggart on said forum (my “forum character”. which happens to be my actual character too) but really, none of this stuff it completely outside the realm of possibility, I feel…

5:00 - I wake up and my dog pass me the morning papers. I take a look at the day’s press whilst printing my architecture drawings on my iMAC . My face is on the front page again.

The article is about me being one of the Top Asian Architects to get appointed to the Design Team to decorate Mr Donald Trump's skyscaper in Dubai. He wants to incorporate a 3 - storey penthouse for his son , Barron Trump. I am an expert in Photoshop ,Autocad ,Intellicad and 3d studio max. Donald Trump's secretary calls me at 6am to remind me of the discussion later for his new SUPER LUXURY office skyscaper in Dubai. Wired has name-dropped me again. Forbes seems to think they know how much I’m worth.

I am worth about US $200 million. so little..

Checking my mails I see that I’ve been invited to speak at the 2017 Architectural Conference in London. Again. Better start thinking of a clever presentation.

7:30 - Take a peepee on my luxurious pink fur toilet and have a Vichy shower massage.

8:00 - Wake up the children and ask what they would like for breakfast. My children, having been raised on excellent home-cooking (my Italian-Chinese hubby and I are accomplished cooks) have no desire to eat the usual sugar-laden cereals and pop-tarts that the other kids do. My son asks for English breakfast with scamble eggs and my daughter wants balsamic vinegarette dash with garlik croutons and salad with chicken slices. I cook their breakfast.

8:30 - I kiss my hubby on the lips before leaving the house. He’s still sleeping. My husband is a web developer for Goggle , graduated from UCLA , part time actor and model . I head off to work. Hmm which car today…Ferrari ,BMW M5 or Maserati. I take the Maserati.

9:00 - Waiting on my desk are the daily earnings reports that my personal assistant , kelvinn, has printed out. I give them a cursory glance. My online media empire is doing well and is now generating enough revenue to support 100 full-time staff. Much appreciated thanks to my trusty mate , kelvinn.

10:00 - Meeting with Mr Donald Trump and his daughter , Ivanka Trump. We brainstorm and conceptualise new ideas. Although I’ve hired the best, brightest minds in the industry I’m still very hands on. I’ve built up everything we see around us from nothing and feel a massive sense of responsibility. I still can’t let anyone work without my input. Not yet. Maybe some day.

11:00 - Sitting in on an interview with a guy wants a job on the Donald Trump Project (DTP). I google his name quietly. Nothing comes up. Sorry mate, not a chance.

12:00 - Italian lunch at a place across town. After lunch ,I visit my brother’s design agency. He is not around. In Paris, they tell me. I’ll shoot him an email when I get back to the office.

14:00 - Investment / acquisition talks with a small startup. I am an architect and also a venture capitalist . A large part of our business is now as venture capitalists in the online world. We’re the best in the industry as we are also a production house who knows our shit. Due Diligence regarding web assets is like breathing to us. The startup looks promising. Dr Finian Tan, my director , tells me what he thinks of the acquisition. I nodded my head and let him settle this for me as I am too busy with Donald Trump .

17:00 - I call my dad. Our restaurant venture in London is going great. He sounds genuinely happy - running a successful Ultra Luxury Chinese restaurant is something he’s wanted to do ever since retiring. Dad says the BBC and Ellen Degeneres from US interviewed him again. We chit-chat about the Iceland and Russia branches planned for next year.

18:00 - My Italian-Chinese hubby calls. Are we going out or staying in for dinner? I tell him we’re going out and book a table at the family’s favourite restaurant - the kids love the place as it’s run by “the guy from tv” aka Jamie Oliver ,,who else .. At the restaurant we let the kids order for us. They have excellent taste in food (been taught well). I let my daughter try some wine, she squishes up her face.

20:00 - My husband takes the children home. I go back to the office for a while. We just took delivery of 100 Aeron chairs for the staff. Everyone is smiling and bouncing up and down on their new chairs. I sit down to some paperwork and visit the development team working on a couple of projects that I expect great things from.

22:00 - Head home. The kids are already in bed. My Italian-chinese husband and I sit in the pool (a beautiful infinity pool that I designed) with a glass of champagne and watch the hover-cars fly by in the distance.

So that’s me in 10 years. What about you?

Cityscapes - March 2007

This is what i swop from a photography website to create inspiration for my new photo web-book>@flickr

The aArt of aArchitecture (from my dog's point of view)

This is a Moderne Space

good architecture can create functional spaces that are uninik and blends simplifying that with ze surroundings yet innovative and funky .
I seek to be part of that architecture that emcompasses you .
For you Sven Vath....my hero...

Design a romantik and arouse statues of architecture

i need to make frequent escapist trips , out of my nutshell, hence wandered to Fullerton Hotel singapore, Four seasons and Ritz carlton , seeking to find ....but i did not find what i was looking for. ..

Firing point is the reclaimed land for the Marina IR opposite the Merlion. VIP viewing area is from One Fullerton riverside area, so you can roughly guess which orientation the fireworks will take. Esplanade Bridge may not be suitable for photography by everyone, as it is quite close to the firing point and may require wider focal lengths.

love , love me do

Love me , love you

A love poem for .....

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the guys I've ever met,
You're the one I can't forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best
