~ Chapter President’s Message ~ Michael P. Smith, CSI, CCCA, LEED AP, EDAC
"October is a fine and dangerous season in America. A wonderful time to
begin anything at all. You go to college, and every course in the catalogue
looks wonderful." -Thomas Merton
October brings us CONSTRUCT and all of the aspects of learning with it.
I hope it assists all of us in our careers, advancing our knowledge, begs
questions, and gains more leads through our networking. Our October event
for the Greater Orlando Chapter will focus on this and what we all gained by
attending CONSTRUCT this year - please put this on your calendar, especially if you can't attend
CONSTRUCT this year; I'm positive it will be a fruitful conversation. Education and its
continued relevance in our lives is what motivates us to change: ourselves, and the world in
ourselves.
"I can't change the World but I can change the world in me." -U2, "Rejoice"
"A wild world, figuring out the answers, I'll be in my own dance and iiii..., I'm questioning my
education, Rewind and what does it show?, Could be, the truth it becomes you, I'm a seed,
wondering why it grows..." - Pearl Jam, "Education"
Mike Chapter President
the SHERWIN-WILLIAMS Plant Tour recap – was held on Monday, September 10, starting
at 8 AM with a continental breakfast followed by a tour of their facilities. Tour participants
signed-in and was given a visitor badge. We received a presentation by a S-W employee which
informed us of the many paint labels for which S-W provides the product. Following the
presentation we were introduced to tour guide and given eye and ear protection. The tour was
very informative. Never realized producing paint was so complicated.

THOUGHT for the month – “Ordinary life does not interest me.
I seek only the high moments.” Anais Nin, writer
A PEACEMAKER ALWAYS FARES BETTER THAN AN AGITATOR. – In today’s “everything
is negotiable” society, we are bombarded with messages telling us that we get what we demand, not what
we deserve. You may temporarily achieve success by demanding more than your due from others, but it
will not long endure. “Squeaky wheels” may initially receive the most attention, but the wise wagon-
master eventually replaces them. It’s easy to create problems and dissension but very difficult to lead
others in a spirit of cooperation and harmony. Which type of individual do you think is most valuable to
the organization? The greatest rewards in life — both financial and personal — will always accrue to
the peacemakers of the world. NAPOLEON HILL FOUNDATION
BRAND
“If you don’t believe it yourself,
don’t ask anyone else to do so.” Napoleon Hill
HOW TO OVERCOME SPEECH APPREHENSION – Understanding your topic and being mentally
prepared for something to go off-script can make you less fearful of public speaking, writes Jim
Anderson. Speaking more often will help you get better, but don't take gigs about topics you don't know
about. The Accidental Communicator SmartBrief on Leadership

LEADERSHIP
“If you spend too much time thinking about a think,
you will never get it done.” Bruce Lee
TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO CARE ABOUT YOUR CAUSE – Compelling stories and visuals, not
just sad tales, are best for inspiring empathy in people so that they'll join your cause, write Ann
Christiano and Annie Neimand of the University of Florida College of Journalism and
Communications. Hope is more motivating than fear, while calls to action should be specific so
people feel more connected to the results, they write. Stanford Social Innovation Review SmartBrief on Leadership
LEGAL
“If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course,
on where you stop your story.” Orson Wells
HOW ARBITRATION STACKS UP AGAINST LAWSUITS – Construction arbitration can be
advantageous due to the presence of an arbitrator who's knowledgeable on construction issues,
which can make the process quicker than a lawsuit, Jason Strickland writes. Arbitration also tends
to allow for flexibility in the way parties present their claims, but the process is limited by how
difficult it can be to add parties or pursue an appeal. JD Supra/Ward and Smith

Member Spotlight – Dave Shultz, RRO, now CDT with Fiber Tite Roofing Solutions, “wanted to let you know that I
passed the CDT exam back in May, shortly after attending the G.O. CDT Boot Camp. The CDT
Boot Camp was invaluable in helping to prepare me for the exam and I want to thank our Chapter,
and especially Chip Hayward and the presenters, for sponsoring the training program. It gave me
the confidence I needed to accomplish this career goal. Now on to the CCPR!”

HOW TO TALK TO CLIENTS ABOUT MATERIALS TRANSPARENCY By Paola Capo, August 30, 2018 (Click on the title to read the entire article)
Successful interactions between clients and architects set the tone for a
partnership with desirable outcomes. Including materials health and environmental
priorities in early conversations can be a critical step to ensuring a project is not
only designed well but creates long-term benefits for occupants. Many clients don’t consider the broader
outcomes of building material selection and need more information to make materials transparency a
design priority. Here are a few tips for how to talk to clients about selecting better materials:
TECHNOLOGY
“Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.” Black Elk, medicine man & teacher
HOW TO DIGITIZE CONSTRUCTION – By expanding their use of internet of things technology,
contractors can automate paper-based processes, improve visibility and build more efficiently, Justin
Morgenthau writes. To attain those goals, contractors should better understand customers, recognize
factors that adversely affect productivity and safety, and identify resistance to new technology.
