https://youtu.be/NPL9Rg2tw0M Itay Ben Horin, CEO of Ben Horin & Alexandrovitz, one of Israel's leading strategic media consultancies, is on a mission to help people and organizations achieve their goals through strategic communication. As the author of Crisis Management, Itay draws on decades of experience helping businesses, public figures, and institutions navigate high-stakes situations where leadership and communication determine the outcome. In this conversation, Itay introduces The Crisis Management Framework: Stay Prepared, Pull Your Team Together, Work Fast and Slow, Pick Your Entry Point, Decide Strategy, and Select Who Speaks, Where, and When. He explains why preparation is the greatest advantage in any crisis, why leaders must balance urgency with thoughtful decision-making, and how identifying the right audience and communication strategy can turn a defining moment into an opportunity. He also shares how AI is reshaping strategic communications, the growing threat of deepfakes, and why books and long-form conversations remain indispensable in an age of AI-generated content. — 5 Steps to Address a Crisis with Itay Ben Horin Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint podcast, and my guest today is Itay Ben Horin, the CEO of Ben Horin & Alexandrovitz, a leading strategic media consultancy in Israel, and also the author of Crisis Management, which just came out in the U.S. Itay, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you for inviting me. Yeah, it’s exciting to talk to you. I mean, you’re in Israel. You’re growing your business there, and I look forward to your differentiated perspective on things on this show. But before we launch in, my favorite question: What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it through Ben Horin & Alexandrovitz? Okay. So our vision in the company is to help people fulfill their goals through the media. We're trying to empower people and organizations to achieve their objectives.Share on X And we do it through the media, through communication, and through social networks. This is our expertise: communication, strategic consulting, public relations, and spokesperson services. My specialty is crisis management, but our company provides all kinds of media consulting. And our “Why” is to help people fulfill their dreams. Our way of helping them is through the media. But there are other goals as well. Yeah. That is interesting. So how does media help people fulfill their dreams? When a person or an organization is talking to one person or two people in a store, or in any other aspect of communication, it has limited power. But when they communicate through the media to thousands or even millions of people—through television, radio, podcasts, or whatever channel exists in modern life—they have the ability to influence more people. So the media helps them. In a good way, and also in crisis management. When something goes wrong, you can use the media to move from a bad situation to a better place. When I talk to people, I tell them that even in biblical times, people had communication and written communication. And it’s the same stories: Love. Hate. Power. Politics. Everything is the same. The only thing that has changed is the technology we use to communicate with people. Once, people shouted from rooftops and used other traditional methods. Today, they can talk from their homes to millions of people. Yeah. And then social media is a big amplifier of messaging. It’s changing politics as well. So, for sure. Now, you’re running a large strategic communications firm, but you wrote this book about crisis management. So what’s different about communication during a crisis compared to business as usual, when you just want to get your message out? I’m a basketball fan, and today is like the NBA playoffs. So I’m saying— The Spurs won. Yeah, the Spurs won. And it’s very interesting to watch a seven-game series. So what I’m saying is that regular communication is like the regular season. You win. You lose. It’s important, but it’s not that important. A crisis is like the playoffs. You can win or lose. If you manage the crisis well, you can be a winner.Share on X You can win the season even if it began with a crisis. But if you lose, you’re out. So a crisis is a moment that can change your destiny—for better or for worse—depending on how you manage it. And I think that’s the difference between crisis management and regular communication. As I said, regular communication is like a very long regular season. Yeah, I love that analogy. So it’s the yin and yang, right? It’s the crisis and the opportunity. How do you turn a crisis into an opportunity? There’s a saying: “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” right? Something like that. Yes. I’m not advising people to get into a crisis. That’s not my advice. But if you have a crisis—and in my book, Crisis Management, I write about many case studies, both good and bad examples of crisis management—in some cases, the way people like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama managed their crises helped make them winners because they handled them well. I also write about companies like McDonald’s and Starbucks, as well as crisis management cases in Israel. If you manage a crisis badly, you can lose your position or even your business. So I’m not advising anyone to seek out a crisis. But when I walk into a room where there is a crisis—and I do that a lot, it’s my day job—I meet a CEO or a manager who is dealing with a crisis, and I tell them: “Please try to look at this moment from another perspective.” “Because these are the moments that define your leadership.” “And if we do well, and if we do our best, you may be remembered as the leader who successfully navigated this challenge.” It’s hard to see that in the moment. But afterward, people often come back to me and say: “I remember what you told me during those moments.” Yeah. That’s when character really shows up, right? In moments of crisis. It’s when everything gets amplified. Yes. So this podcast is called Management Blueprint. We talk about frameworks all the time. So give me a good crisis management framework. Three to five elements. I’m sure you cover them in your book. If someone is in a crisis, what do they need to think about? What steps should they take? Do you have a framework like that? Yeah. So the book is like 20 chapters. Sixteen of them are crisis-management cases from around the world and Israel, including some that I managed. And there are also four chapters about this framework and how to manage a crisis. So the first thing that I will tell you is that the best way to manage a crisis is to be prepared for a crisis. I know it sounds like a cliché, but it's really important. Every minute that you prepare—I call it a golden minute.Share on X Every minute that you prepare for a crisis will count as 10 minutes during the crisis when it begins. Because if you are prepared, if you know who is talking, who is on your team, what the messages are, who your crisis-management advisor is, who your lawyer is, who your accountant is, and who will be in the room, as a manager that’s very important. So that’s the preparation. And even if you don’t prepare, the first thing is to get your team together. I don’t believe that crisis management can be managed from far away. You must be in the same room with all the people and talk together with your team. The second thing is that in a crisis, you need to work very fast and very slowly. Very fast because you need to think fast and react fast because it’s a crisis. You have a lot of phone calls, a lot of WhatsApp messages, and a lot of activity on social networks. A lot of people are talking to you. But you also need to be very sharp, and you need time to think. The most important thing you need to think about is: What is your entry point for the win? Who is your target audience? Is your target audience the general public? The business ecosystem? A regulator? A minister? In most crises, you have a few target audiences. But you must understand which target audience can take you to a win. If you’re a political leader, it’s the public. If you’re a business, it can be the market or the stock exchange. If you’re a producer or a manufacturer and you have a crisis, it can be the regulator. So you must think about who your target audience is and then decide on the strategy. Because there are crises that you cannot win. Going back to basketball, maybe you cannot win the series. But it’s better to lose four games to two than four to zero. And that’s okay because you’re building for the next stage. So you have the team. You have the target audience. You have the strategy. Then you need to decide who is talking to the public and how they are talking. Through Facebook or other social networks? Are you talking to the press? Are you having one-on-one meetings? When are you going to talk? Where are you going to talk? And who is going to talk? The manager? The professional manager? Your legal staff? Your communications staff? These are all the things you need to decide when the crisis begins. And from there, every crisis is different. But that’s where you move forward. Yeah. That’s fascinating. So basically, get your team together. That’s step one. Obviously, you have to be prepared so that you have a team. You have to react fast, but also make room for deep thought. Who’s your target audience? How do you enter this crisis, or where do you need to show up? Decide the strategy. And then who’s going to speak, where, and when. So that’s fascinating. When and where. What is the technology? Are you doing a press conference? Are you doing a press release? Do you go to your LinkedIn page, your Facebook page, or your Instagram page? Every crisis has its own recipe. I’m saying that there are people in my profession who use the same strategy all the time. To talk or not to talk. To be aggressive or not to be aggressive. I think every crisis has its own recipe. There are times when you need to talk. There are times when you need to remain silent. There are times when you need to attack your rivals or your opponents. And there are times when you need to apologize for things that you have done. So every crisis has its own recipe. Yeah, that makes sense. I love it. So I’d like to switch gears a little bit and learn more about your business. What drives growth in your business, in your strategic communications consulting business? So I think there are two main engines. The first engine is more clients. We have clients in all aspects of life.Share on X We have Samsung and Qualcomm from the technology sector. We have a large bank and a large investment house. We work with cities and municipalities. We work with academia. So that’s one engine. And the second engine is adding more services. We started with communications. Then we added social media management. Then we added video. Now we work with influencers and content creators as well. So one way to grow is through more clients. The second way is by expanding the scope of our profession. It’s all around communication, but communication is evolving. Yeah. So when you say more aspects, do you mean more channels? Yes. More channels, more services. How do you see these channels evolving? What’s the big trend? In the past, people shouted from rooftops. Then there were town hall meetings. Then there were newspapers. Then came the internet and social media. And now people are posting and tweeting. So how has this evolved? What’s the bigger picture? What is communication evolving toward? So it’s a good question. I think that the first main understanding is that it’s all together. It’s all synchronized. You talk on television, in the newspaper, and on the radio. Nothing has diminished. Everything is together. But you have more channels, as you said. The most evolving channels are influencers and creators. Now, a lot of my clients are not talking to journalists. They are talking to creators or to social media influencers. And they are the most important when you have a B2C business talking to the customer and the consumer. For businesses that are more B2B, I think the economic press and television are still very important. So it depends on the client-side organization. Who is the organization, and what is the best channel to talk through? Yeah. That’s interesting. What is something that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business right now? I think, like everyone, we’re thinking now about how AI will affect our job and our profession. The first steps of AI are already here. Everybody is using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. We also use ChatGPT and Claude in every program that we have. But I’m sure that there will be more changes. We can see it through the video aspects and the graphic aspects. It didn’t change communication, but it will change it like every profession. So we are trying to think about what is the best way to use it. And also how we can be faster than our colleagues in the profession in using it correctly. And what are some of the challenges with AI? What makes it tricky to implement an AI strategy, if anything? First of all, I think the biggest challenge is that I have 25 years of experience, and my partner also has 25 years of experience. So together, we have 50 years of experience in communications consulting. And we had a big gap between us and all the other competitors. But now, with AI, you can be very young in the profession and still get access to all the knowledge, all the books about the field, and all the crisis case studies. So I think the first challenge is understanding that AI is shortening the gap between those who have experience and those who don’t. I think that’s true in every profession. Yes. So I think that’s challenge number one. Challenge number two is that there is a lot of fake news. I’m working with a very prominent businessman in Israel, and now there is a fake AI version of him using his image and talking to the public. It looks like the real person is speaking. And that’s a problem that you need to solve. We are talking to Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, asking them not to show the ad because it’s fake. But it’s hard. And it’s something new. It wasn’t there in the past. That’s scary. That’s very scary when this happens. Yes. Everything is getting more complex. I also see it as an opportunity because we have a lot of experience, so we know how to manage these situations. But these are new situations. Yeah. I wonder how the world is going to deal with that. One thing we noticed when we created an AI video was that it got a lot fewer likes. Even though it was early on, when there were very few AI videos, and we thought it was a very clever thing, people didn’t really resonate with it. Do you find that this is the case? Or are AI videos now so well done that people don’t realize they’re fake? I think it’s a challenge for the regulators. And I see that they are already doing some work in this area. For example, an AI video will have something written on it saying, “This is an AI video.” You must do that. So I think that if regulators strengthen these requirements across all the platforms—Google, Facebook, ChatGPT, and everything else—then we’ll reach a point where people can watch any video they want, but they will know whether it’s an AI-generated video or a real one. Yeah. That makes sense. So where do you see the growth opportunities for communications businesses like yours going forward? I think, as I said, AI will take us to a place where we can work with more clients in a faster way. I'm one of the founders of a startup called Focus AI that is creating synthetic groups and communities.Share on X We can talk to synthetic figures and better understand the best way to approach messaging and make decisions after interacting with these communities. So this is one path for growth in the profession and also in our business. And it’s something that we are already doing. So that’s one way to move faster. Another thing I’m doing is investing in business books. Because I think people will look for things that are very fast, like AI. But they will also look for things with a lot of depth, like books. And I can see right behind you all the books that you are reading. I believe there are many people who still want a way to go deeply into topics. Because of that, I also wrote my book. And now I’m investing in a business that will bring more and more business books into Israel. That is very interesting. There’s a theory that media consumption is becoming polarized. Very short-form media is becoming more popular, and very long-form media is also becoming more popular. And perhaps books are the long-form media that you’re talking about. And I think podcasts as well. Podcasts are becoming very successful around the world, and also in Israel. Because people want the opportunity to have a one-hour conversation and really understand things. Not just clips from radio interviews or short interviews. So, as you said, more fast and more slow. More sharp and more depth. Yeah. That ties in with your framework. In a crisis, you have to be fast, and you have to be slow at the same time. Who do you recommend should buy your book? Who can benefit from Crisis Management? So I think there are three main target audiences. The first is managers, CEOs, and people who make decisions. They will face crises in their professional lives. I think everyone has a crisis in their life and in their professional life. It’s like back pain. Everybody has it, has had it, or will have it. Nobody lives their life without back pain, and nobody lives their life without a crisis. So the first audience is managers. The second audience is people in my profession: Communications consultants and lawyers who deal with crises. They can benefit from these case studies. And the third target audience is students of communications, business, and law. People who want to gain more knowledge about this subject and this field. Is this just about communicating during a crisis, or is it also about solving the crisis? Or are those the same thing? No. It’s about all aspects of a crisis. Every crisis has a communication aspect. But Crisis Management, the book, and crisis management itself are not just about communication. As I said, when I come into an organization that is in crisis, I’m managing the communications side of the crisis. But there is also a lawyer. There is a lobbyist. There is an accountant. And there are the internal managers of the organization. Everybody has their own target audience. So the book is about the entire crisis. My way is through the media. Yeah. Love it. That’s great. Okay. So if you’re listening to this and you’re running a business, or you’re in a professional-services business, or you’re a politician, or anyone working in a high-stakes environment, I highly recommend Itay Ben Horin’s book, Crisis Management. It just came out. Is it available on Amazon? Yeah. Amazon, Barnes & Noble. It’s everywhere. Yeah. So it’s on Amazon and in the major bookstores everywhere. If you want to learn more, check it out. Where can people reach you if they want to talk to you or someone at your firm? What would be the best entry point? Yeah. My email is open. My LinkedIn is open. I’m very available. My profession is to be available 24/7. So check Itay Ben Horin out on LinkedIn. He’s easy to find there. Yes. And he’s the CEO of Ben Horin & Alexandrovitz, a leading strategic media consultancy in Israel. Do you work outside of Israel as well, or do you focus primarily on the Middle East? Yes. We work outside of Israel. We work with Israeli brands that have communications or business activities around the world. We also work with American and European brands that operate in Israel. So our main focus is Israel, but we work with many clients around the world. We have about 50 international clients. That’s fantastic. So check Itay out. Read his book. And if you enjoyed this conversation, stay tuned because every week we have another entrepreneur with a unique framework coming on the show. Itay, thanks for coming. And thank you for listening. Thank you very much. Important Links: Itay's LinkedIn Crisis Management Book Itay’s Website

This episode features Jim Bowie, VP and CISO at Tampa General Hospital, joined by co-host Courtney Guss, Director of Crisis Management at Semperis.Jim began his career in EMS and law enforcement before moving into cybersecurity, giving him a grounded understanding of how operational continuity and human outcomes intersect during a crisis. At Tampa General, he leads teams spanning network security, operations, IAM, and GRC, and has built a training culture centered on adversarial simulation, monthly range of exercises, and regular DR drills.In this episode, Jim argues that rehearsal is the highest-leverage move for resource-constrained security teams and explains why an outage is an outage regardless of cause. He covers why identity is consistently the weak point in every simulation and why the relationships you build before an incident are the ones that matter most.If your organization is still treating recovery as an afterthought, this episode will change how you think about it.Guest BiosJim Bowie Jim Bowie is the Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Tampa General Hospital (TGH).

There is a con called the Spanish Prisoner. A letter arrives from a stranger: a wealthy man sits in a foreign jail, and for a small advance to free him, he will reward you many times over. The trick is at least four hundred years old. It is also, give or take a few details, the email sitting in your spam folder this morning. I keep that in mind whenever someone tells me cybercrime is a technology problem. The tools change. The mark does not. We are still robbed through the same prehistoric wiring: a flash of fear, a moment of greed, a decision made in panic before the slow part of the brain wakes up. That is the thread I pulled on with Sarah Armstrong-Smith at InfoSecurity Europe. Sarah spent nearly thirty years in cyber and crisis leadership, was Chief Security Advisor at Microsoft, and now runs Secure Horizons. She has written two books on the human side of all this and sits on the UK Government Cyber Advisory Board. After all of it, she says the thing most people in her position will not say out loud: whatever we are doing is not working. More tools, more money, more people, more AI, and the problem keeps getting worse. Attack, wake-up call, attack, wake-up call. How many wake-up calls, she asks, does anyone need? I asked what keeps her up at night. She described an industrial accident on the scale of 9/11, triggered through a network: the first time a cyber incident kills people in numbers. We have been lucky so far. She doubts luck is a plan. The industry loves a big number, and the number is exactly where the human disappears. X million records stolen, Y terabytes gone. The day before, my friend Geoff White sat in this same chair and described a ransomware attack that shut down a hospital, which meant a woman missed the cancer appointment she had counted on. That is an Armageddon, and it has a name and a face. Sarah, as it happens, knows Geoff's work well enough to carry a line from him on the back of her book. The human element keeps finding the same small circle of people willing to talk about it. So how do we move this from a line item to a fact of society? Her answer is collective resilience. There is no prize for being the last one standing, because we are all wired into the same supply chain, the same dependencies, the same brittle web. And the smallest businesses, the ones without a war chest to ride out the storm, are the ones we discuss the least. Then a statistic. Close to half of all crime in the UK is now fraud or cyber. Around one percent of policing is pointed at it. Read those two numbers again. We fund what we can see, and we want officers on the street because a visible patrol both deters the thief and reassures the neighbourhood. The crime that actually empties our accounts happens somewhere we have agreed not to look. Follow the money, Sarah says, and you rarely stop at one criminal's pocket. It pays for the next thing: drugs, weapons, and more often than people imagine, the trafficking of human beings. Will AI save us? She did not flinch. Whatever you build to detect, the other side uses to evade. The asymmetry holds. Technology is part of the answer and never the whole of it, because the problem was never only technical. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry the person behind the number: the one who misses the appointment, the small shop that never reopens. We leave behind the fantasy that a clever enough machine will spare us the harder work, which is teaching a whole society to recognize the Spanish Prisoner when it arrives, wearing this year's technology. Sarah's books are linked below, with a second edition on the way. Geoff's conversation is part of this same coverage. And if you want more of these, the newsletter lives at marcociappelli.com.

Michael McFaul and John Batchelor discuss the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as a pivotal moment of near-nuclear obliteration that underscores the necessity of modern crisis management. McFaul emphasizes that a critical failure during this era was the lack of direct communication and a tendency to guess the adversary's intentions. While the Soviet Unionwas the primary threat in 1962, today the People's Republic of China has emerged as a major, revolutionary power player. McFaul argues that modern diplomacy must prioritize clear information and established prevention mechanisms to stabilize relations with both Russia and China. (1)1902

What does it take to advise Heads of State, broker back-channel diplomatic deals, and operate inside the world's most complex political environments, all while building a global firm from scratch?In this episode, Julian sits down with Vlada Galan, geopolitical strategist, crisis management expert, and founder of Oracle Advisory Group. Vlada advises Heads of State across five continents, has worked on elections and conflicts in over a dozen countries, and was awarded a medal by the Ukrainian government in 2023 for her work on behalf of her home country.But the bio only tells part of the story. Vlada arrived in America at six years old with her mother, a cardboard sign, and two words of English. Everything she's built—a Harvard master's degree, a multimillion-dollar advisory firm, a career at the highest levels of global power—came entirely from scratch.This is a conversation about what power actually looks like from the inside, what separates the people who own the table from everyone else trying to get a seat at it, and what a Ukrainian immigrant who once knew two words of English learned about success that most people never figure out.— Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) —0:00 — Intro1:35 — Finland trip: disconnecting in the Arctic Circle7:50 — What do the people who own the table actually have?11:51 — "Everything you need is within yourself”—did she believe it on Day 1?15:06 — Standing outside the private city club: the three A's of overcoming imposter syndrome18:16 — How she found her way into geopolitical consulting22:03 — Why she prefers the harder, less glamorous engagements25:53 — What the first 48 hours of a crisis actually look like28:09 — Track 2 diplomacy: the back-channel work that never makes the news32:20 — Managing personal identity and professional neutrality as a Ukrainian consultant36:30 — The bank governor story: aggression as an asset40:45 — How to be the honest advisor in a room full of yes people43:41 — The most enjoyable part of running her own firm45:05 — How she takes care of herself: weight training, cooking, and real disconnection48:18 — How she determines what's a good fit as a client50:20 — The biggest misconception about her field54:05 — The hardest part of building something from nothing55:23 — Book recommendations57:44 — What would that six-year-old girl on the plane say?— Key Quotes from Vlada Galan — “If you want to hang on for the long term and develop a reputation for actually bringing change and bringing results, be the no person because that is the person in the room that is the most courageous to say what they actually think, no matter what the consequences might be.”"People will test your boundaries. The more you allow them to cross those boundaries and steamroll you, the more they're going to take advantage of that.”"You learn a lot more from losing than you do from winning.

Most child care owners do not think about crisis management until they are already in the middle of one, and by then emotions are high, information is moving fast, and every response matters. In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Marsha Archer, president of M-Squared PR and Crisis Management, for a practical conversation about what it really means to protect your brand before something goes wrong. Together, they talk about how social media is changing the pace and pressure of crisis response in 2026, what belongs in a real crisis plan, and why your brand is about so much more than a logo or website. Marsha also shares how trust is built long before a crisis ever happens, what owners need to document and monitor now, and when it is time to bring in an expert. This is one of those conversations that feels preventative, practical, and incredibly important, because, as Marsha says, it is not a matter of if. It is a matter of when. Key Takeaways: [4:11] Crisis planning matters long before a crisis ever happens. [4:39] A crisis usually starts when something pulls you completely out of your normal day. [5:35] Social media is one of the biggest drivers of crisis in 2026. [7:37] Every school should have a real crisis manual in place. [9:51] A strong plan includes a crisis team, templates, and clear next steps. [13:45] Facts need to be documented right away while everything is still fresh. [15:39] Google Alerts and Talkwalker help you monitor your name, brand, and industry. [17:38] Your brand includes every interaction tied to your name, not just your logo. [21:13] Negative reviews should be acknowledged calmly and moved offline when needed. [25:17] Great reputation building often starts with everyday moments inside your school. [29:16] Child care is not just the child care business. It is the trust business. [30:58] Building trust in small moments helps you lead better in bigger ones. [33:42] Your crisis plan should include contacts, templates, tools, and after-hours access. [36:45] The first few hours of a crisis can shape the entire outcome. [41:45] How do you know when it's time to bring in an expert? [46:14] Have the plan before you need it, and keep it updated! Quotes: "It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Because it's bound to happen, and you just want to make sure you're prepared." — Marsha [4:30] "The number one driver of what's really interrupting the day-to-day and creating a crisis is social media, and not just social media as we see it, but how social media has grown." — Marsha [5:50] "Parents want clarity, licensing wants accuracy, and attorneys want facts." — Marsha [13:45] "Everything that is attached to your name completes your entire brand reputation." — Marsha [18:55] "We're in the childcare business, but what you're really in is the trust business." — Jennifer [29:44] "Building trust when it's small equals even more trust when it's bigger." — Marsha [30:58] Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky introduce a new long-form series, The 48 Laws of Emergency Management.This series explores the hard-earned lessons, leadership principles, operational realities, and unwritten rules that define the profession of emergency management. Drawing inspiration from decades of field experience, philosophy, crisis leadership, disaster policy, and organizational behavior, Todd and Andrew discuss why emergency management is far more than plans and checklists. It is about people, decision-making, trust, adaptation, communication, and leadership under pressure.This opening episode serves as an overview of the series and lays the foundation for future conversations. The discussion examines how emergency managers operate in ambiguity, why relationships matter more than org charts, and how the profession continues to evolve in an increasingly complex world.Whether you are a new emergency manager, a seasoned practitioner, or simply interested in leadership and crisis management, this series aims to challenge assumptions and encourage deeper thinking about the profession and its future.Show NotesThe Emergency Management Network launches a new ongoing series: The 48 Laws of Emergency Management. Hosted by Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky, this series examines the deeper realities of emergency management through practical experience, philosophy, leadership lessons, and honest conversation about the profession.Emergency management is often taught through doctrine, frameworks, and plans, but the real work of the profession happens in the face of uncertainty. This series explores the lessons that emergency managers learn over years of disasters, activations, political environments, public expectations, and operational pressures.In this introductory episode, Todd and Andrew discuss:* Why emergency management is fundamentally about people* The unwritten rules of leadership during a crisis* How emergency managers build influence without direct authority* Why relationships matter more than organizational charts* The importance of trust, communication, and credibility* The tension between policy and operational reality* How philosophy and systems thinking apply to emergency management* Leadership lessons from military command philosophy and disaster response* Why is adaptability one of the profession's most important traits* The future challenges facing emergency management professionalsThe conversation also explores how emergency management has evolved into a profession that requires strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, operational competence, and the ability to work across disciplines and political environments.This episode sets the stage for future installments, in which Todd and Andrew will break down individual “laws” and discuss the practical application of each principle in real-world emergency management.TagsEmergency Management, Emergency Management Network, EMN, Todd DeVoe, Andrew Boyarsky, Disaster Response, Crisis Leadership, FEMA, IAEM, Public Safety, Emergency Planning, Incident Command, EOC, Community Resilience, Disaster Recovery, Crisis Communication, Leadership, Systems Thinking, Homeland Security, Disaster Policy, Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Operations, Crisis Management, Disaster Leadership, Emergency Manager, Organizational Leadership This is a public episode.

What happens when everything you've built… disappears overnight?In this powerful episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, Anne Bonney sits down with Lisa Pagotto, founder of Crooked Compass (https://www.crooked-compass.com/) to talk about resilience, reinvention, and the courage to lead when there is absolutely no clear path forward.When the pandemic shut down global travel, Lisa's entire business came to a halt for nearly three years. No revenue. No team. No roadmap. Most people would have waited it out.Lisa? She learned how to fly… and accidentally built a second business that saved the first.This conversation is packed with real-world lessons on: Leading before there's proof (and why waiting is a trap) The truth about resilience (hint: it's NOT “just push harder”) How to recognize burnout before it breaks you Why discomfort, travel, and uncertainty make you stronger The mindset shift that turns crisis into opportunityAnd here's the truth most people don't want to hear:
We recorded today's episode on May 13, just a few days before the AP Swatch Royal Pop went on sale. We discuss the decision-making and implications of this project for both companies' brands and businesses, and for many reasons, we consistently question why AP in particular would partner with Swatch on this project. On the positive side, we do point out Swatch's competencies in production, distribution, marketing, and retail of these kinds of products. Sadly though, today's events — store closures, out-of-control crowds, and even fist fights — undermine that case, and only serve to underscore our skepticism in this project and the points we discuss on today's episode. In sum, the botched on-sale has turned this project from an exercise in brand building to one in crisis management — certainly not what AP or Swatch had in mind. Across the conversation, we work through the collaboration from three angles: brand, product, and business. We dig into Ilaria Resta's stated rationale — putting watchmaking into mainstream culture and protecting "rare watchmaking savoir-faire" — and the curious decision to direct the donated proceeds to AP's own foundation rather than a third party. We examine the form factor itself (a pendant rather than a wristwatch), what it says about AP's attempt to protect the Royal Oak while capitalizing on its cultural cachet, and whether this project actually solves a problem AP has — or whether it amplifies the access issues that already define the brand's relationship with potential customers. We also turn the lens on Swatch. Unlike Moonswatch and the Blancpain Scuba, the Royal Pop is the first time Swatch has borrowed equity from outside the group, and we unpack why this looks like a near-perfect outcome for Swatch and a much harder calculus for AP. Along the way we draw comparisons to Moonswatch's cultural footprint, debate which direction "borrowed interest" actually flows in these collaborations, and float a few alternative ideas — including an AP-coded Flick Flack — that might have served the stated mission better than what landed on shelves this weekend. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

In this episode of The Missions Show, Alex sits down with ABWE's Director of International Security and Crisis Management, Bill Gruppen, to discuss the difficult balance between missionary safety and gospel risk-taking in some of the world's most dangerous places. Drawing from decades of experience in law enforcement, emergency response, and security, Bill shares how God redirected his professional skill set into missions work through TACTICA Ministries and ABWE. Together, they explore how missionaries prepare for crises, make difficult stay-or-go decisions in conflict zones like the Middle East and Ukraine, and seek to remain faithful witnesses without embracing unnecessary danger. Bill explains how emergency response ministries can strengthen long-term church planting efforts by building relationships, serving communities in moments of suffering, and opening doors for gospel ministry. Key Topics: Why missionary safety and gospel risk must be held in biblical balance How ABWE missionaries navigate conflict zones and crisis situations Bill Gruppen's journey from law enforcement and emergency response into missions The role of TACTICA Ministries in reaching first responders with the gospel ABWE's vision for disaster relief and crisis response teams Encouragement to pray for missionaries and first responders serving under pressure If you would like to know more about International Security and Crisis Management, visit International Security and Crisis Management.

Félt attól, hogy mások előtt tegyen valamit, de érezte, hogy segítenie kell.En: László was frozen. He was afraid to act in front of others, but he felt the need to help.Hu: Judit tekintete megállapodott az övén, ösztöni egységük azonnal megfogant.En: Judit's gaze fixed on his, and their instinctive unity immediately took hold.Hu: "László, segítenél tartani a tömeget távol?" kérdezte Judit határozott hangon, de tekintete bátorító volt.En: "László, could you help keep the crowd back?" asked Judit with a firm voice, but her look was encouraging.Hu: László bizonytalanul, de bólintott.En: László nodded hesitantly.Hu: Ahogy megpróbálta elterelni az embereket, hogy helyet adjanak a levegőnek és. a segítségnek, érezte, hogy a félelem lassan elenyészik.En: As he tried to divert people to make room for air and assistance, he felt his fear slowly dissipate.Hu: Judit már konkrét utasításokat adott.En: Judit was already giving specific instructions.Hu: Felszólította a közelben állókat, hogy hívják a mentőket.En: She urged those standing nearby to call the paramedics.Hu: László segítségével helyet csináltak, és az emberek engedelmeskedtek Judit irányításának.En: With László's help, they made space, and people followed Judit's lead.Hu: A mentők perceken belül megérkeztek, de addigra a helyzet rendeződni látszott.En: The paramedics arrived within minutes, but by then, the situation seemed to be under control.Hu: A látogatót hordágyra tették, és az emberek egyöntetűen tapsoltak Judit bátorságának és László segítőkészségének.En: The visitor was placed on a stretcher, and people unanimously applauded Judit's bravery and László's helpfulness.Hu: Amint lassan visszatért a nyugalom az akváriumban, Judit és László körbenéztek.En: As calm slowly returned to the aquarium, Judit and László looked around.Hu: A káosz helyét újra a halvány, akváriumon átjutó fény foglalta el.En: The chaos was replaced by the faint light passing through the aquarium.Hu: Judit megköszönte Lászlónak a segítséget, aki most már másképp nézett a tengeri világra.En: Judit thanked László for his help, who now saw the marine world differently.Hu: Már nem csak egy megfigyelő volt, hanem egy aktív résztvevő, aki legyőzte saját félelmeit.En: He was no longer just an observer, but an active participant who had overcome his own fears.Hu: A párbeszéd közben Judit felismerte, hogy néha szüksége van másokra.En: During their conversation, Judit realized that sometimes she needed others.Hu: Ez az esemény megmutatta neki, hogy a csapatmunka mennyire fontos.En: This event showed her how important teamwork is.Hu: Az akvárium újra kezdett a megszokott helyére kerülni.En: The aquarium began to return to its usual state.Hu: A halak csendesen úsztak tovább, mintha mi sem történt volna, a látogató pedig biztonságban volt.En: The fish swam quietly as if nothing had happened, and the visitor was safe.Hu: László szívében érezte a változást, és tudta, hogy most már másképp tekint saját korlátaira.En: László felt a change in his heart and knew that he now viewed his own limitations differently.Hu: Judit pedig elégedetten folytatta a munkáját, mindketten gazdagabbak lettek egy értékes tapasztalattal.En: Judit continued her work with satisfaction; both of them richer with a valuable experience.

In this episode of Disaster Tough Podcast, John Scardena breaks down the latest FEMA developments, including the FEMA Review Council recommendations and @Cameron Hamilton's nomination for Senate confirmation. More importantly, this episode focuses on what emergency managers, crisis leaders, and public safety professionals should actually do when major news occurs. Rather than getting consumed by rumors, predictive analysis, or “what if” thinking, this episode challenges leaders to focus on operational readiness, credibility, adaptability, and mission execution. John introduces practical leadership concepts like the “So What? Now What?” mindset and the “Washing Machine” framework: Keep, Stop, Enhance, or Start.
How do leaders stay steady in the storm of tough choices? This week, I sit down with Jack Briggs, a retired major general with a 30-year career in the military who is also a highly seasoned, for a masterclass in pressure-tested decision making.The episode debunks the myth that high-stakes choices are unique to the military or boardroom. Instead, Jack argues, “pressure is pressure,” whether the risk is reputational, operational, or personal. The discussion highlights the three traits of the best decision makers: anchoring decisions in firm principles, seeking help with humility, and making the call… decisively, not reactively.Listeners will come away with four essential questions to use in any crisis and learn why reframing “crises” into a set of solvable problems is vital for calm, effective leadership. This conversation is a must for anyone seeking practical, repeatable strategies to lead well, even when the stakes—and the anxieties—are high.What You'll Learn- Anchor your decisions in principles.- Lead with humility and build your team.- Distinguish between problems and crises.- The power of a structured decision framework.- Be decisive and own the outcome.- Focus on your sphere of influence.Podcast Timestamps03:18 Jack's origin story: from the Thunderbirds to the Air Force Academy05:37 When leadership first appeared: Boy Scouts, the leadership laboratory, and the Eagle Scout07:37 The Air Force Academy as a leadership lab: authority vs. responsibility10:42 Being the snowplow: how to delegate without abandoning accountability14:11 Leadership is a science and an art: training the recipe, then adapting it16:41 Combat to boardroom: why pressure is pressure regardless of context19:19 Defending North America: leading at continental scale21:28 The three characteristics of the best decision makers23:24 The archer analogy: principles, input, decisiveness26:45 What leaders get wrong: fighting the fight they wish they had28:06 Mob rule, Moses, and principled decision-making32:11 Crisis vs. problem: why language matters under pressure33:10 Snowstorms and problem buckets: a real-world example35:26 The four questions for high-stress decisions40:01 Checklists that work: laminate it and they will keep it43:18 Humility plus decisiveness: being disagree-able45:36 Choosing the least worst option and owning it48:35 Final thoughts: stop chasing outcomes, start leading in your three feetKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Decision Making, Decision Making Under Pressure, Humility, Air Force Career, Military Leadership, Air Force Academy, Leadership Lab, Principles-Based Decisions, Delegating Authority, Crisis Management, Operational Risk, Financial Risk, Reputational Risk, Pressure in Leadership, Crisis vs Problem, Crisis Communication, CEO Success
