Dr. Blake Kerr, an advisor to the Dalai Lama, renowned human rights activist, and author of the book, Sky Burial, An Eyewitness Account of China's Brutal Crackdown in Tibet, recently returned from Madrid, testifying as the last expert witness in Spain's six-year international trial against Chinese leaders accused of crimes...

Herman Cain is playing with fire.

It may take a few days, even a few weeks, for Mr. Cain's 2012 presidential nomination campaign to unravel, but now that a fourth woman, Sharon Bialek, a former National Restaurant Association employee, came forward with very graphic and disturbing details...

"I'm paying for this?" was the client's first remark after looking around our beautiful, new Manhattan offices, adding, "And good luck on the overhead."

I was shocked.  We had just completed an expensive, six-month build-out of the 16th floor at 1700 Broadway, directly across the street from the

U.S. Speaker of the House, John A. Boehner (R-OH), said in his recent Ohio State University's commencement speech, "When you begin to go out there and ask people to vote for you, they're probably not going to vote for you if they can't say your name. You know,...

No one wants to watch a plane crash, but if it's happening in front of us, it's hard turning away.

It's the same reason we go to a bullfight, watch auto racing, or attend the circus. On one level, we delight in the show, eat popcorn, and enjoy a day...

Mel Gibson is in trouble.

It's easy to focus on Gibson's recent tirade caught on tape, and to speculate on his career and future, because his anger and underlying fear are so obvious. Yet, like most troubled people, it doesn't matter how many times Mel Gibson apologizes, or hires the...

There is no best case scenario in this current BP Gulf oil spill, and the worst case scenario is unthinkable. Within 18-24 months, BP as the current operating company, will no longer exist, senior leadership will be gone, the assets sold, and the former British Petroleum, will be a black...

Time's up, the news cycle's over.

Someone better tell the news desks and assignment editors, because unless Tiger Woods does something stupid again soon (which he won't), this story is toast.

We've moved on, and no matter how it's promoted, Tiger Woods won't move the audience needle anymore.

Right now,...

My father used to say that I was either the nosiest person he ever met, or the most curious. I'm sure it's a little of both.

Over the years, as I've traveled the globe helping people and companies tell their stories, I've learned so much by asking the question, "What...

The Super Bowl is sold out.

At close to $3 million per thirty-second commercial -- or approximately $100,000 a second -- CBS announced they've sold every available commercial spot for this Sunday's Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, Florida. Industry analysts believe CBS will reap over $200 million in...

On pure instinct, and with no inside information, I'm betting Tiger Woods is healing, both emotionally and physically, and will be back soon.

It's fun watching all the pundits continue talking about Tiger Woods. His foibles are a boon for the TV talking heads, and since there's nobody to put...

Tiger Woods is freaking out.

Like Icarus, the Greek mythological character who although warned, flew too close to the sun and fell to his death, Tiger Woods's reputation, and everything he worked for, including his family, is precariously close to collapse.

Although I don't represent Tiger Woods, based on my...

Tiger Woods needs to tell a hero's tale.

By his silence, Tiger Woods is breaking every rule in PR, crisis communications and reputation management, allowing his story to swirl around in the media ether, fueled by tales of speculation, and whipped into frenzy by anyone with a platform or soapbox.

It took me one year to write the proposal for my new book, One Less, One More™, and then after all that work, I didn't sell the book. Did I give up?

Lance Armstrong said, "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or...

The idea for my book, One Less, One More™, started with a phone call.

One evening in the spring of 2007, Brigette, a mom from our children's school, called to speak with my wife, Candace. Before I handed the phone over, Brigette asked, "Do you know anyone today who isn't...
