NADRA Eastern Education Tour — Success in Pennsylvania this past weekend! Share    
 Thank you to all of our members who attended the Pennsylvania education this past weekend. And thank you to our sponsors for making it happen. I think we can all say it was a success! See what NADRA members had to say about the classes: "NADRA has been the best professional decision I've made in terms of growing my business. The professional contacts I've made with manufacturers, vendors and even other contractors alone have been worth the investment. Add to it the friendships I've developed and the personal help I receive from the manufacturer reps and now the Master Deck Builder Education. These courses are a great learning experience. Glenn has clarified many code questions I've had and things I've done without knowing why. I'm looking forward to the next 2 classes in this series!" Bill Lecorchick — Heritage Deck Design & Construction, Sayreville, N.J. — Members since 2008 "Contractors who scoff at taking a day off from building to sit in class ... have no clue what they are missing. Training like this is crucial to stay at the top of our game. Great info, as always." Matt Breyer — Breyer Construction & Landscape, LLC, Reading, Pa. — Member since 2006 "These courses, part 1 and 2, of the NADRA certification training were very well done and instructive. The practical explanation of code requirements as applied to the specific techniques of deck construction and design are clear and very helpful. As a result of the training we will modify some practices we have used in the past to improve our deck design and installations. We plan to attend the upcoming Deck Expo in October in Baltimore to complete the next two courses in order to complete the NADRA training as well as continue participation in future NADRA conferences." Mike Adriani — Adriani Brothers Construction, Hollywood, Md. — Members since 2012

Why would a deck builder be so afraid of trying a new material for his next project? Isn't being up on the latest technology a dream come true. Perhaps, but are you taking risk in the process? Some guys I know would say yes to that. They would no sooner use a new product then throw themselves off a bridge. Some I know embrace the new stuff and love it. *Use the NADRA blog to post comments and start discussions! More

More Increase your team's motivation 5-fold Harvard Business Review Share
In a famous experiment, researchers ran a lottery with a twist. Half the participants were randomly assigned a lottery number. The remaining half were given a blank piece of paper and a pen and asked to write down any number they would like as their lottery number. Just before drawing the winning number, the researchers offered to buy back the tickets. This result reveals an inconvenient truth about human nature: When we choose for ourselves, we are far more committed to the outcome — by a factor of 5 to 1.
