continuity

On the latest Mortcast Jeff talks about how the Nuggets have gambled heavily on continuity. It definitely works...until it doesn't. Everything hinges on MPJ becoming special.

On the latest Mortcast Jeff talks about how the Nuggets have gambled heavily on continuity. It definitely works...until it doesn't. Everything hinges on MPJ becoming special.

The New Testament is full of references from the Old Testament, but how are we to understand the continuity and discontinuity between the Old and New Testaments?   How did the New Testament's authors understand and use the Old Testament?  Should we even call it the Old Testament? And did the New Testament authors take the Old Testament passages out of context? Join us as we discuss these questions and more with Dr. Rikk Watts.

In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin builds upon the previous episode’s discussion on testing the continuity of a grounding system, this time focusing on the clamp-on method. In this method, the clamp-on meter will induce a current on the system in two directions. The clamp-on meter can then determine the resistance. Normally, a low resistance reading will indicate that there is a good continuous loop between the grounded object under test and the larger grounding system. However, in the case of isolated grounds, the desired resistance measurement on the clamp-on meter would be extremely high (open) to indicate that current only traveled successfully in one direction. Then, a two-point test can be used to validate that there is a continuous path for the isolated ground.  A clamp-on meter can provide key insights into possible issues such as leakage current and corrosion.

Trish Bertram will be familiar to television viewers as the continuity voice which has appeared between programmes on and off for years. In her view, though, her finest hour was when she became the voice of the Olympics. (But only just.)

She takes Elinor Hamilton through a career built entirely on blagging her way in, and explains how she managed to face workplace sexism head-on in a somewhat unconventional way...

Produced by Karl Svenson at Tadah Media.

To escape from a confused chat thread, David rephrased three concerns he had about Ernie's proposed topic for this coming Tuesday (1/5/2021) on The Great Reset:

1. It does not provide continuity, or address open problems
2. Ernie seems to be placing all the responsibility on David, rather than sharing it
3. The goal should be to model (live out) discipleship, and Ernie's proposal doesn't seem to accomplish what his proposal attempted, i.e. establishing a baseline he can use to hold people's feet to the fire (and vice versa) 

Ernie clarified that he did intend to address #1, apologized for #2, and expressed curiosity about how #3 interacted with what he would present.  David then worried that Ernie was placing too much pressure on himself by attempting to address all of that!. Ernie blithely reassured him that this is how he does his best work -- by raising expectations he does yet know how to fulfill!

Will this work?  Or come back to bite him? Stay tuned to find out!

Alicia Aebersold, CCO of the American Psychological Association (APA) discusses with Kelly and Mary Beth:

• Her early communications / public relations career path that led her to the position she now holds, in leading the communications function for the world’s largest professional association of psychology 
• Why the relationship a CCO has with one’s CEO and executive team is so important, particularly in times of crisis
• How the APA’s clear, simple purpose “to benefit society and improve lives” provides the driving force behind the organization’s work plan in service to its members and to the public as well, whether in times of relative normalcy or in times of global crisis

  • Exploring fresh approaches and knowing how to prioritize / focus on the ones with strongest promise, based on key-audience needs and expectations
  • Developing the overarching mindset of maintaining creativity while staying in one’s lane of specific subject-matter expertise and knowing precisely where the association can make a meaningful impact

• Ways that APA is helping employers and providing both research / data-driven content and coping resources
• How the larger APA Communications Team is working together to execute across both strategic and tactical action plans
• How APA is executing outreach efforts in collaboration with other professional sectors for “a psychologically health workplace” via Office of Applied Psychology at APA

Included in Kelly’s and Mary Beth’s discussion with Molly and Jules:

• What to do as an independent practitioner, when faced with sudden loss of bookings and business
• How a “rising tide lifts all ships” mentality in the PR profession and a sense of connectivity between public relations professionals will help our community of colleagues 
• Why being bold and calling out bad PR examples is important for the improvement of the profession to elevate trust and ethical codes in public relations
• Entities doing PR wrong or right during COVID-19: WeWork, Gov. Cuomo, Texas Roadhouse, the tourism / hospitality industry, mega-brands versus small-businesses (among other examples)
• What happens when there are disparate value systems, mixed motives and disconnects between leaders and staff
• How PR needs to be mobilized to fight fear that’s pervasive in teams, organizations, communities and entire societies right now
• What it means to “have the difficult conversation” to acknowledge from the beginning of a crisis situation that a crisis is – indeed – happening (and how skipping this key incremental step is a major mistake)
• Why information-hoarding is one the most common – yet most damaging – behaviors leaders engage in, that damages (or even destroys) trust
• What roles ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY play in the current crisis
• Is COVID-19 the PR industry's “moment of truth” to prove our worth in serving our clients / employers AND the public… and if it is that moment, are we making effective use of it?
• Observations of small and regional PR firms being the culprits of bad PR pitches tied specifically to coronavirus
• How LEADERSHIP is the common (yet uncommon) thread that must undergird strategy and basic good decision-making 
• What it means when “doing the right thing” can mean completely different realities to completely different entities (such as a commercial retail interest versus public health official)
• Use of humor as a coping mechanism by individuals (such as on social media) versus as a connectivity tactic by brands in their advertising
• How strategic communicators should help brands stay human and real in this crisis
• How COVID-19 is going to force companies to build better, stronger cultures of communications
• How being labeled an “essential” versus a “non-essential” business factors into messaging and decision-making during COVID-19
• And much more.

Chad Hatmaker's on-point advice for employers – which PR teams must bear in mind as well as they think through employee-focused communications strategies – spans a diverse gamut, tied to passage of recent COVID-19 Aid legislation. 

Included in the discussion:

• How remote work / virtual team transitions are impacting workplaces in critical ways
• How the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) (signed into law March 18 and taking effect April 1) is already impacting the workplace, in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, with caregiver and emergency paid sick leave components. (FFCRA “provides for expanded FMLA and Emergency Paid Leave in certain limited circumstances related to the Coronavirus pandemic,” as noted on Chad’s blog – tnemploymentlawblog.com)
• The law of unintended consequences?... How the funding of these mandates expected by employers with fewer than 500 employees will impact companies in the short-term versus long-term
• Aspects of consideration for those who are self-employed 
• How much risk employers may be in for, relative to employee lawsuits down the pike
• Anti-retaliation considerations and potential employee claims that employers must bear in mind to avoid legal risk
• A cursory overview of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
• How recent Pew Research statistics on teleworkers and the COVID-19 “new normal” on Work from Home #WFH arrangements may permanently change the workplace landscape
• Discussion of whether working from home may or may not be a part later of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), relative to a “reasonable accommodation”
• How the public relations profession is well-suited to telework platforms and how the new-normal of work-from-home arrangements may unleash an upending of traditional workplaces, both in the PR profession and in countless other knowledge-based fields
• The Legal Side vs The PR Side: Chad’s take on how both disciplines need to work together, whether in response to COVID-19 or in any crisis
• And much more.

Kelly and Mary Beth delve into the general considerations all management teams should consider when undertaking crisis preparedness … with the first mandate being – Don’t Delay!  Included in the discussion:

• How human reactions such as denial and “paralysis by analysis” universally stymie the best crisis-planning intentions… and how to overcome initial inertia;
• Why there is a major difference between having an operational crisis plan and a communications-driven crisis plan (including both internal and external stakeholders) … and that you can’t have an adequate plan until you have bothcomponents;
• How Kelly and Mary Beth have managed crisis consultations in their careers for a wide range of clients, including Mary Beth’s own former PR firm’s business crisis, when her office was destroyed in an office fire, requiring the displacement of her full agency team for nearly two months;
• Ways in which crisis communications planning have changed in recent decades, evolving from the “traditional media” paradigm to the past two decades’ far more dynamic, complicated and Citizen Journalism-driven platform of digital media;
• Critical considerations of IT systems back-ups, off-site employee work continuity, adequate insurance coverages and other operational / practical aspects for businesses of all sizes / scales to keep in mind;
• How interdepartmental, interdisciplinary inclusion across management team functions must be integrated in the planning and execution process;
• Why having employee contact-with-media and employee social media policies are so important;
• And much more.
