A clean workplace sends a message

Slow is fast and fast is slow

An important part of being successful in your trade is understanding how to read the room. Skills are important, the quality of our work is absolutely vital, but we need to understand how to respond to different people in different situations. And this episode we talk about how situational awareness makes us better at understanding how to respond to our customers and coworkers in different situations.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of developing a deeper understanding of what we do as a trade and as professionals. We also unpack the mechanics behind thermocouples and thermal piles how they work and how to diagnose them. In this way, the science behind the simple thermocouple becomes an excellent analogy for developing a deeper understanding of how we diagnose and how we think as professionals.

In a standing pilot gas powered heating or cooking system a thermocouple is an essential part of equipment safety by making sure gas only flows when a flame is present. But how does it actually work? How is a different from a thermopile or a flame rod?

Note: this episode picks up in the middle of part one it’s strongly advised you listen to part one before listening to part 2z

We continue this discussion of how our thought patterns and biases, though not our fault do shape how we are seen on the job. We also learn how being more aware of how our mind works, and why it works that way actually empowers us to take control of our life and our career.
