When “It” Hits the Fan
You only need to watch the news to know that the question isn’t if a company will have a crisis, but when will that company have a crisis. As a veteran TV reporter for 15 years, each day I reported on those unexpected events and watched ill-prepared spokespeople fail miserably because they were not prepared. For more than 30 years, my focus has been on helping companies adopt a Be Prepared attitude. I learned to Be Prepared as an Eagle Scout and I live those lessons every day. I promise to deliver high-level content that both motivates and entertains your audience, whether it is a 15-minute TED-style talk, a one-hour keynote speech, or a three-hour workshop.

“Gerard was scheduled to be our opening keynote speaker for a Public Information Officers conference in Detroit in 2019. Then we got the call – he was trapped in a blizzard in Denver after doing a presentation there. He had booked 5 possible flights trying to get to us, but all got canceled. So he went to work on Plan – B. He suggested a virtual keynote via Zoom, exactly one year before the world knew what Zoom and virtual keynotes were. We were amazed at how engaging he was, even in a virtual setting.”
