Last weekend, I attended the inaugural conference of the International Association for Private Service Professionals (IAPSP) on the “Secrets of Service”. I was very impressed with the caliber of household service professionals gathered to learn more about their vocation, meet others in the field, and share resources. We heard from industry experts and those with services that cater to the high end clientele, such as tax and payroll expert, Stephanie Breedlove, of Breedlove and Associates, Chubb insurance on risk management and documentation, Dan Carlin of World Clinic (concierge medical services), and experts in Smart Home Technology and Moving/Delivery of fine antiques, art and other specialty items. Especially entertaining were tales from Bonnie Low-Kramen, Celebrity Assistant to Olympia Dukakis, as well as long-time estate manager, Bobby Dean Phillips, who enlightened us on employee image and ethics in the private home.
