This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. • Prepare you to be your media’s go-to contact and No. 1 local
source for chimney safety awareness and education
• Teach you the importance of being flexible
• Provide you with resources on how to introduce yourself to
the media so they know where to find you when they need
you
• Show you what to wear and what to say during the Q&A!
3. • Determine whom at your company is going to be the “face” or
“spokesperson” – the person authorized to communicate to
the media.
4. • Today’s media: quicker deadlines, less time, more work
• Journalists have a Mary Poppins-era impression of chimney
sweeps. Embrace the nostalgia while promoting your modern-day
expertise and education.
• Promote public safety and CSIA. Your company will benefit from
that association.
• Prepare like you’ll be the lead story at 6 p.m. or on the front page,
even though you probably won’t. Either can happen!
• Be ready to pounce on publication and promote it for your own
special interests! Set “chimney fire” as a Google Alert.
5. On your website, list a cell phone or
after-hours number where only
reporters can call or send a text. (If
you are too busy to answer the phone,
ask office staff or family member to be
in charge of it!)
A reporter wants a chimney sweep.
They’ll call you – or a competitor.
6. • A journalist may have 5 hours or 5 minutes. Start
simple, add complexity as needed.
• A journalist may want to interview you at a job site.
Accommodate them. (Work with the client to gain
permission. Visuals are very important! )
• Reporters will dictate the questions they want
answered, but you can have talking points available.
Reinforce the difference between hiring a CSIA
Certified Chimney Sweep and the non-certified
person, that doesn’t abide by the CSIA ethics pledge
nor understanding of the levels of inspection.
8. Your appearance
Keep a clean work shirt handy. It should have your
company logo and the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep
Scruedgegnetiasl.t conducting your interview next to
your work truck or in front of a fireplace,
if a photographer or camera attends Substance is more important than style, but clothing
shouldn’t cause a distraction. (So no shorts and no flip
flops! Top hats are OK, but only in context with the angle
of the journalist’s story.)
Don’t chew gum or tobacco during the
interview.
Pay attention to safety procedures during the “B-roll”
moments, when they are not interviewing you but they
are still filming.
9. Your message
The modern day chimney sweep cares as much about
the customer as they do the chimney … so say, “We get
certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America,
the venting authority, and the education and learning
never stops.”
Chimney sweeps certified by CSIA with the
Certified Chimney Sweep credential have
to sign an ethics pledge and promise to

10. Your strategy
Watch casual remarks and gestures.
Nothing is off the record.
Answer every question. Never use the phrase
"no comment." You can say “I am here to help” and e-mail
the info later.
Flag key points. Outline crucial pointers before you
utter them, such as “The important thing to remember
is ..." This helps ensure that reporters won't miss your
key points while making notes about something less
important you just said.
Avoid jargon on-camera … Your mission is to
convey information, not be confusing.
… but explain off-camera. Educate reporters
about why chimney inspections, provided by a CSIA
credentialed sweep, are vital.
Use your expertise for great visuals.
Open and close a damper. Keep a seasoned wood log
handy when you talk about creosote. Chimney
inspections are very visual!
Be energetic. If you are passionate about your
subject, it will help make a better story. Remember that
12. Your after-action
Get an air date for television stories and a
“run date” for web-based articles or
newspapers.
As soon as the news story is published, make sure and
verify accuracy of the story. Don’t be surprised if there’s
an error. It happens. Just send a nice note to their e-mail
address advising if there’s a name misspelled or bad
fact, so it can be fixed on their web site.
Make sure that your company’s in-house
or external marketing partner is aware of
the new publicity. Promote it on your
channels! Tell Tom at tspalding@csia.org
and we’ll share your experience on CSIA
channels.
Thank-you notes go a long way. You are establishing a
potential relationship for years to come, so they’ll know
whom to call!
