Gisele Bundchen Speaks Out
I just read an article about Gisele Bundchen speaking out against the Roman Catholic church's position on condoms and abortion. Okay, what gives? I read her biography on Wikipedia. As far as I.jpg)
can tell she has no credentials whatsoever to speak out on matters medical or sociological. It's no different from other entertainers who blab about their political and economic philosophies. Can anyone tell me why I should heed the advice of a person who makes their living in a make-believe world? I can only imagine Plato is turning in his grave.
Because of my education, I can speak with some degree of authority on things philosophical or things theological. But if I'm giving a finance or economics lecture, caveat emptor.
You'll often hear lawyers say they know what their client wants. Really? It is worth asking how they know this. Have they asked their client? Has anybody at the firm asked? Be careful of transferring their legal expertise into client service expertise. It's sometimes a nice way of saying, "Don't touch my clients." But if you want to solidify the fact that they are your clients, some proactive measures should be taken.
In all my conversations with in house counsel very few said they had ever been asked what they wanted with client service. Maybe I talked with the wrong people. Maybe not.
By the way, I'm not really sure what the big deal about Gisele is, other than the fact she's worth about $150 million, which is roughly $150 million more than I am.
(Postscript: I know what you're thinking: The picture doesn't really look like Gisele. Give it a few years, except maybe the beard).
