Ahh…New Year’s resolution time! It reminds me of a high school English assignment which asked us to write our own obituary. I really enjoyed it, thinking of the life I would live and the type of person I’d be known for. Much like a New Year’s resolution, except it exposes your character and the life decisions you want to make to live up to those expectations. 30+ years later, it’s a good check-in on how I’m comparing to those early goals, and a great time to write another from this vantage point. As we kick off 2025, what would you like people to write about you when you are gone? Are we living that way today?
Gratefully,
Spence (January 2025)
One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
