From April 9, 2024: In the early morning on March 26, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. The bridge collapsed, resulting in the death of six of the eight individuals conducting maintenance on the bridge. The incident has disrupted commuter traffic and the transport of hazardous materials, and it has halted shipping traffic at the Port of Baltimore, among other effects.Lawfare Research Fellow Matt Gluck discussed the bridge's collapse, how authorities responded to it, and what it all means for the resilience of U.S. critical infrastructure and the state of crisis response with Juliette Kayyem, a professor of international security at the Harvard Kennedy School—who recently wrote a book on disaster management. Was the bridge adequately protected? How should governments and the private sector prepare to both prevent crises, but perhaps more importantly, prepare for the aftermath when they inevitably occur?

For your communication to be credible, you can't just say it — you have to do it.Want people to believe what you say? According to Richard Edelman, the words you choose only get you halfway there. To build real trust, he says, you have to practice what you preach.“Action builds trust,” says Edelman. “If you don't do something, you can't talk about it.” As the president and CEO of Edelman, a leading global communications marketing firm, Edelman is widely recognized for his thought leadership in marketing and PR, especially on issues related to corporate trust, brand reputation, and social responsibility. His annual Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a sobering reality: "Two-thirds of people believe leaders lie to them now, business leaders, government leaders, even journalists." For people and organizations that want to rebuild trust, whether in a one-on-one relationship or with a customer base of millions, Edelman's advice is simple: "Decide, do, communicate."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Edelman and host Matt Abrahams explore strategies for winning trust when traditional authority no longer guarantees it. In an age of skepticism, Edelman's insights show that sustainable trust comes not from perfect messaging, but from consistently aligning your actions with your words.Episode Reference Links:Richard Edelman158.

July appears quiet. It isn't.This episode outlines why summer is a high-risk period for reputation management. With newsroom staffing reduced and audience attention low, deeper stories start brewing. Reporters have more time. Leadership is often distracted. That's when reputational cracks start to widen.The timing is rarely accidental. Many of the biggest PR crises in recent years—from Lizzo's lawsuit to Drew Barrymore's strike backlash—began simmering in July and erupted by September.What's covered:How reduced oversight and lower engagement create space for reputational damageThe patterns behind summer stories that spiralCase examples including Diddy, Cuomo, Barrymore, Lizzo, Fallon, Baldoni, and LivelyThe role of social media in sustaining backlashWhy July is a critical window for transparency, not silenceAlso featured: a breakdown of how MuckRack supports proactive monitoring and sentiment tracking.Referenced Stories:Sean Combs trialAndrew Cuomo's primary upsetLizzo legal falloutWriters strike flashpointsCelebrity missteps and media strategyKey takeaway: July is not the time to disappear. For anyone managing a sensitive narrative, this is the moment to speak before being spoken about.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Ever wondered what happens after the storm? In this final episode of our crisis management series, we dive headfirst into the mysterious land of post-crisis recovery—where burnt-out leaders rebuild, reignite, and occasionally misplace an entire month (looking at you, July).We kick off with a story about the bizarre world of legal contracts—complete with edits so aggressive, they basically rewrote the Constitution—and how staying true to your business values might just save your sanity. Then, we explore the Five R's of post-crisis recovery: Respond, Reassure, Review, Rebuild, and Reignite. It's basically crisis feng shui, with fewer candles and more spreadsheets.Whether you're knee-deep in crisis fallout or just like to plan ahead (you wild optimist, you), this episode wraps up our series with the practical wisdom, brutal honesty, and slightly off-beat humour you've come to expect from us.

For the past 65 years I have been in an ongoing dialogue with my childhood friend, Howard (aka Howie) Brownstein. Howie used to work as a delivery driver for Mama's Pizzeria, which many of you know as the place I revere as cheesesteak heaven. When he couldn't work his shifts he would ask me to fill in for him and the inter-weaving aromas of Mama's super-cheesy pizzas and juicy cheesesteaks (both of which relying on Mama's secret 3-cheese blend)  embedded a powerful taste and olfactory memory, associated specifically with Mama's, that has forever driven my never-ending quest for the perfect pizza. In the meantime, Howard became an internationally successful expert in something called "turnaround and crisis management." For the past forty years, he has regaled me with stories of his adventures interceding for companies (and their families) for whom he is often their last hope before they lose everything. His "turnaround" journey is not unlike my own adventures with pizza (except that turnaround intervention pays much better) and it also serves as another ideal metaphor for the journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the overcoming of adversity, as you will hear in this engaging conversation with the best "fixer" I know. Enjoy....

Crisis incoming… or is it?In this episode, we talk about early warning signals—the kind that tell you a deal is off the rails, your pipeline's clogged, or your prospect is quietly ghosting you while you're still updating the forecast.We cover:- Why your inbox on Friday night isn't a five-alarm fire (probably).- The sneaky signals: silence, repetition, and that one client you wine and dine but haven't talked business with in 6 months.- How to swap gut feelings for actual dashboards (yes, dashboards make us weirdly excited).This one's a mix of practical tips and storytelling chaos from our own consulting lives. If you've ever reacted to a contract with panic and a stiff drink—you're in good company.

When the world feels like it's spinning out of control with wars, economic instability, natural disasters, and political unrest happening simultaneously, how do you navigate the chaos without becoming paralyzed by fear? In this essential prepping guide, Todd tackles the overwhelming reality of living in a world where chaos everywhere seems to be the new normal, offering a practical framework that transforms anxiety into actionable preparedness. You'll discover the powerful difference between living in your "circle of concern" versus your "circle of influence" – a mindset shift that separates successful preppers from those who get stuck in doom-scrolling paralysis. This episode provides concrete strategies for both beginning and advanced preppers to focus their energy on what they can actually control, rather than drowning in worry about global events beyond their reach. Todd shares specific exercises you can implement immediately to identify your real concerns and convert them into practical action steps that build genuine preparedness confidence. Whether you're dealing with personal challenges like job insecurity or health issues on top of world events, this prepping guide shows you how to maintain mental clarity and take meaningful action. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear roadmap for staying informed without becoming overwhelmed, building real preparedness skills, and developing the fearless mindset that makes you a valuable resource for your family and community when chaos everywhere becomes the reality we all face.

Trigger warning:Today's episode includes discussion of suicide and crisis intervention.I'm now at Day 3 of my Master of Counselling intensive, and today's focus was crisis management, specifically, how to support clients who may be at risk of harm to themselves or others.It was an intense, emotionally heavy day with a lot to process, but it's already added depth to my practice and revealed some blind spots I'm committed to addressing.Todays main insight:Don't shy away from the hard questions.Ask directly: “Are you having suicidal thoughts?”Be specific, clear, and explicit — it avoids ambiguity and best serves the client.Another powerful takeaway:Know the boundaries of your role and come to peace with them.We can't save everyone, and that can be hard to sit with. But we can be ethical, prepared, and grounded in our professionalism.Curious to go deeper?Click here to find out more about my 1:1 coaching & counselling sessions.

Dr Phil Williams is Professor Emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh, where he taught from January 1990 to April 2022.  In the first part of his career, at Aberdeen University, Southampton University, and Chatham House, he wrote books on Crisis Management, The Senate and US Troops in Europe, During the last 30 years his research has focused primarily on transnational organized crime, His most recent book is “The Mediterranean Connection: Criminal Networks and Illicit Economies in North Africa.” Aspects of criminal networks usually include the smugglers' toolkit: concealment, deception, circumvention and facilitation   North Africa itself can be understood as a space of flows – primarily south to north, but also north-south (hazardous waste) and horizonal flows, cannabis from Morocco moves Eastwards while counterfeit cigarettes move from Dubai to the Atlantic and through Algeria into Europe.    Some international assistance is provided by Interpol and the United Nations agencies to counteract this.

Anesthesiologist and psychotherapist Maire Daugharty discusses her article, "Why real therapy isn't just about crisis." She challenges the common misconception that therapy is only necessary or effective during acute crises ("crisis-hopping"), explaining that this view can lead to premature termination—a "flight to health"—when underlying work remains. Maire emphasizes that periods of calm in therapy are essential for integrating positive changes, processing accomplishments, and solidifying shifts in perspective and self-structure. The conversation also explores the critical importance of respecting patient autonomy and boundaries in both therapeutic and medical settings, acknowledging that clinicians cannot fully know a patient's inner world. Furthermore, Maire clearly distinguishes the deep, exploratory work of psychotherapy, which often involves confronting difficult truths ("approaching the shattered mirror") and altering implicit assumptions, from the explicit skill-building and goal-oriented approach of coaching, which works with the existing self-structure.

Have you ever thought bravery was something some people were just born with? That it only shows up during a crisis - or that it's not really relevant to your everyday life or work? My guest on this episode of The Ambitious Introvert® is here to challenge all of that!Jim Moorhead is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies. Drawing from his background as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and law firm partner, he's developed a powerful framework for building and modeling bravery - both personally and organizationally. His book, The Instant Survivor: Right Ways to Respond When Things Go Wrong, is a go-to guide for responding to adversity with grounded, intentional action.In this episode, Jim breaks down the biggest myths around bravery, how leaders and teams can cultivate it (yes, it's learnable!), and why consistent small brave actions matter far more than one-off heroics. Whether you're leading a business, working in a team, or simply trying to show up more fully for yourself, you'll take something away from this conversation.Tune in to hear:Bravery isn't innate - it's a skill you can build over timeMisconceptions about bravery that are holding people and companies backHow companies that talk about, model, and reward bravery create space for innovationWhy naming and celebrating bravery helps reinforce it across teams and culturesWays to be brave every single day - no crisis required!If you've ever told yourself you're "just not brave", this episode is your invitation to rethink that entirely.LINKS AND RESOURCES:

As China's military capabilities expand, US-China frictions intensify, and regional tensions increase, concern is on the rise that a potential crisis, either accidental or deliberate, could take place that could spiral out of control. If a crisis arises with China, leaders may want to de-escalate and prevent a wider conflict. To do so, they will need to understand how China thinks about crisis management and escalation.The guest for this episode has dug into the writings of PLA strategists and authoritative PRC sources as well as Western scholarship to assess how China views military escalation and how the US and other countries can accurately predict and interpret PRC signal in crisis scenarios.Lyle Morris is a Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

What happens when the software platform running your entire business suddenly crashes and stays down for weeks? For cleaning business owners using Booking Koala, this nightmare scenario became reality in what can only be described as a customer service catastrophe.We pull back the curtain on this ongoing crisis that has left service-based businesses unable to book clients, process payments, or maintain their websites for over two weeks. The true failure, however, isn't just technical – it's the stunning lack of communication, empathy, and accountability from the company during a critical moment.The conversation goes beyond just critiquing one platform's mistakes. We explore essential business survival skills including having contingency plans, knowing how to "pivot" when systems fail, and maintaining old-school backup methods that don't rely on technology. Many businesses found themselves completely paralyzed because they had no alternative systems in place – a dangerous vulnerability in our technology-dependent world.Customer service emerges as the real differentiator between businesses that thrive and those that collapse under pressure. We discuss practical approaches to handling customer complaints, the importance of taking ownership even when problems aren't directly your fault, and why accessibility (yes, having an actual phone number people can call!) still matters tremendously.This episode serves as both a cautionary tale and a masterclass in crisis management. Whether you're running a cleaning business, a software company, or any service-oriented enterprise, these lessons in transparent communication and customer-first problem solving can mean the difference between weathering a storm or becoming another business failure statistic.Listen now to ensure your business never falls into these devastating customer service traps!Join my email list and get a free mini course: https://klean-freaks-university.newzenler.com/f/welcome-to-klean-freaks-university-1Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.
