Podcast Series of a Jeff Ansell presentation at the prestigious Boston CEO Club

TOPICS of CLIP #5 include:

1/ Your VALUE COMPASS is a collection of words used to describe how we want our stakeholders to see and receive us.

2/ As soon as a news microphone is thrust in your face you're going to hold your breath, stop listening and feverishly say to yourself, how am I going to answer. Then you'll start arguing with the reporter.

3/ Media training teaches you to breath in a way that relaxes your central nervous system.

4/ Apologize and say you're sorry when it's the right thing to do. An attorney will save you $100 million in a court of law, but you will lose $500 million in lost sales.

5/ The Apology Act allows spokespeople to apologize without it being an admission of liability. An apology should be genuine.

6/ Maple Leaf Foods had a listeria problem that killed twenty-two people. The CEO kept the public informed and apologized in a heartfelt manner. Later that year he was named CEO of the Year, plus, sales two years later were back up to normal.

7/ For all that is wrong with news media, there is an awful lot that is right.
