Anyone who knows us knows we have opinions. Lots of them. Here you can expect us to opine about the good, the bad and the ugly of what’s happening both in our backyard and well beyond our borders. Every single day there is a great lesson in the news related to how smart people and companies are either doing good by their hard earned reputations or massively mishandling this most critical asset. We’ll talk about that, and strive to provide you with the latest news, thinking and advice that we believe matters to the art of reputation management.

And when we do, please let us know what you think. While we certainly won’t be shy about sharing our thoughts, the ultimate goal of this blog is to engage more with you. Our hope is that this becomes a community of sorts, where friends and colleagues new and old share ideas, arguments, counter arguments, news, insights and, from time-to-time, a good laugh.

To that end, we have a few simple rules we hope everybody follows:

1. Be respectful. Avoid salty language, derogatory or mean-spirited comments.
2. Be fair. Any comments that discriminate based on age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, etc. won’t be tolerated.
3. Be yourself. Do not impersonate someone else or misrepresent who you are.
4. Be thoughtful. We look forward to hearing what you think!
