Reunions Reunions Selena Loh LaCroix, 46, is a highly organized executive headhunter at Swiss-based Egon Zehnder International Inc. She was shaped by growing up in highly structured Singapore. “I don’t thrive on chaos. Some people do. I prefer to have my life planned,” LaCroix says. One of Singapore’s quirky laws prohibits the sale of chewing gum. The ban went into effect while LaCroix was a teenager. Cleanliness and efficiency are big in Singapore, she says. Gum was a detriment to both. “People would toss it, and the gum would jam the subway doors and cause delays,” she says. It isn’t illegal to chew gum. You just can’t sell it. “So there were people gumtrafficking,” she recalls. “People would go to Malaysia, load up on gum and bring it back home.” That taught her about the fluidity of markets and the creativity of entrepreneurs to meet the needs of consumers. Cooking up success In1990, Dallas celebrity chef Avner Samuel headed across the Atlantic to Americanize the posh restaurant at the famed Churchill Hotel in London. “I inherited a huge kitchen with 70 cooks — most of them had been there for nearly 30 years — and they were mainly from Bangladesh, India, Egypt and Turkey,” says Avner, who now holds court as Reunions FREE!

Hewent to workbut quickly realized that the high-paid kitchen AVNER staff was set in its SAMUEL ways. “After a few weeks, I told the GM, ‘I don’t think we’ll be successful unless we let half ofthe people go.’ ” Despitecostlyseverance rules in England,Avner got his way. He quickly hired New Zealanders and Australians (because they didn’t need papers to work in London) andtaught them to cook Avnerstyle in a week. “Before I know it, the city is on firewith what is happening at the Churchill and the new American chef,” says Avner, who’s never shy aboutsharing stories about his glories. After word got around, CNN camecalling. “Ithink what the GM said [on camera] was cute. He said, ‘Well, he cooked in America, but he’s actually from Israel. He came to our kitchen three weeks ago, threw in three grenades and picked up with the survivors.’ ” Avner swears he’s mellowed with age.

Then they inculcate those habits (which he calls repeatable successful acts) throughout the company. “They’re getting unbelievable results,” says Harvill, acknowledging that it’s an off-putting idea at first. “When you say to somebody, ‘We’re going to have a like meeting,’ they look at you like you’re nuts.” texaspuppy.com Brittanys or Pointers Pups started train. 903-762-2148 or 903-790-0981 Brittany Spaniel Puppy Reg’d Female $350 white & orange, all shots 214-213-0350 or 214-762-2245 Bulldog American Bulldog puppies Johnson bloodline - 2 females, Contact Shaun 972-400-1507 English Bulldog 11 weeks AKC REGD. males & females pure bred, champion bloodline, vet checked and all shots updated. $950 903-855-3098 artoflife19@hotmail.com English Bulldog AKC pups Wrinkled & playful Great housedogs, w/meet halfway $900 580-371-5198 vwheeler@hughes.net English Bulldog AKC Regsitered 1 Female and 5 Males available.Health checks and shots were done 08-05-11 DOB:06/24/11 $1800 David 817-937-2046 DaveKlick@gmail.com ENGLISH BULLDOG Puppies.
