Audience perception of your expertise helps, but their awareness of your agenda hurts. This might help explain why PR people tell their clients to communicate three (3) key messages plus supporting proof points - and no more.

Andrew Cuomo in New York wasn’t the only controversial former state governor trying for a political comeback tonight in a mayoralty run. In New Jersey, former governor (2002-2004) Jim McGreevey looks to be falling short in Jersey City.

This map shows the course of the doomed freighter when it went down in November 1975. The northern coast of Lake Superior is a beautiful, rugged and remote region.

I focused on geopolitical imperatives for corporate communication in general and leadership communication in particular. I was ultra-candid about the ethical emergency in today’s public relations with the massive rise of lying, propaganda and toxicity in official public affairs communication.
