Week 4: Dining in

This dining room at 800 Clinton in Oak Park got me thinking…

Dining doesn’t alway need to be fine but in my book it should always be together. Nutritionists, sociologists, teachers, chefs, and of course Grandma, extol the benefits of family meal time, yet fewer and fewer families eat together.

Houses in my community were built for sharing meals with separate formal dining rooms set off from the kitchen. However, more and more home renovations combine the kitchen, dining room, and family rooms fracturing the ritual of a shared meal.

Over a Memorial Day meal with friends we asked why their daughter decided to get a JD after getting her BS in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. “With both of us being lawyers, she grew up talking about law around the dinner table. Go figure!” She’ll make a great patent attorney. I’ll bet when she has children she’ll gather them around the family table nightly.

Kevin C. Crowell: #Determined!

For over 25 years I worked at the company I built, successfully selling high-tech products in Japan, the world’s most demanding market. My work there required a: close attention to detail, superior customer service, exacting quality, and continuous improvement.

Working in Japan taught me the importance of target marketing and the value of product differentiation which is essential for standing out in a crowded marketplace.

To build a thriving business I developed lasting relationships with my clients. I listened to them. I asked questions until I could negotiate and effectively communicate their needs to their business partners in a way that would be understood and ultimately accepted.
