Seems as if the Tropical Storm may not become a Hurricane. I suspect it still wouldn’t be wise to go outside with my kite. We’re in the infamous “calm before.” One of my ezine readers (thank you, you know who you are!) sent me these useful links related to the …
Just had lunch with a friend locally at a well-known North Naples area restaurant..that is located right on an inland waterway, not far from the Beach. The main dining room is no more than seven feet off the surface of the waterway. I snapped this shot from the restaurant window …
The Tuesday 8 am marker is pretty much exactly where I’m located at present!
This is my first experiment using SightSpeed.com and a weak (PCS card) broadband connection to record a report “from the scene here” and hopefully successfully embed the code that will allow you to see it! Jonathan BernsteinPresidentBernstein Crisis Management, Inc.
What better place for a crisis manager to be than directly in the path of an oncoming hurricane? I am temporarily resident in Naples, FL, visiting my mother in her condo, which is located approx. 1/2 mile in from the Gulf. This is the end of a two week swing …
I think John Edwards did one heck of a job of “packaging” his confession of infidelity in a manner that will quickly put the issue behind him — as long as there are no other skeletons in the closet. The problem with many cases like his, of course, as Bill …
Other than the huge fees, I have to say I’m not even remotely envious of the niche Cohn & Wolfe have chosen to fill in the field of crisis management. Infamous for their representation of the tobacco industry, they now take on “big marble,” which is faced, interestingly, with some …

Subscribers receive high-quality media leads …
I just completed a Strategic Reputation Management Plan for a client that was, to the gratification of me and my team, received very well, described by our primary client contact as “exceptional.” It was a joint effort involving me, SEO/website development expert Chesa Keane, and media relations guru Dave Reeves. …
I know it’s off-topic for this blog, but I am simply blown away by the utility of a free MS-Outlook add-on called Xobni (spell it backwards). I’ve been online since 1982 and gone through every version of Outlook (and its predecessors) over the years, and I have to believe that …

I’m going to give you a teaser about a story coming out in the July 1 issue of my Crisis Manager newsletter. You can sign up for the ezine (it’s free!) — and read back issues — at this page of my website. Here’s the draft lead for the article: …
I was recently interviewed by Business Insurance magazine’s Gloria Gonzales for a story entitled “Preparedness can minimize reputational risks.” The story appeared in print, ran as a podcast, and is also available for you to hear as an .mp3 file, with the link printed by permission of Business Insurance.Your feedback …
During a crisis, effective spokespersons must heed what I call the “Three C’s of Credibility.” If stakeholders perceive you as Compassionate, Competent and Confident, they are far more likely to believe your messages. In fact, if you’re really good at projecting the “Three C’s,” you can get away with some …
