Kim Kardashian's Campaign: Own the Criticism First
Kim Kardashian recently launched a marketing campaign that leaned directly into the public criticism she has faced over the years.

The move reframed her public image on her own terms, turning accumulated skepticism into the engine of the campaign itself.
Remote Management: What Works vs. What Fails in 2025
Remote work is now a permanent fixture for millions of teams, and HR departments are scrambling to figure out what actually works in 2025.

Why Strong Earnings Can Still Tank Your Stock
Mahindra & Mahindra reported impressive first-quarter 2026 results, with growth metrics that most companies would celebrate. Yet investors responded by selling the stock. The numbers told one story.

How CX Leaders Learn to Speak C-Suite Language
Customer experience leaders consistently struggle to gain traction in executive conversations. The core problem is translation: CX professionals speak in satisfaction scores and journey maps, while C-suite executives think in revenue, risk, and competitive position. Learning to bridge that gap is not a soft skill. It is a survival skill for anyone who wants a seat at the table where budgets get decided.
Social Media Fails: What Brands Keep Getting Wrong
Brands keep destroying their own reputations on social media, not because they post something wrong, but because they respond wrong. From tone-deaf apologies to defensive pile-ons, the pattern repeats itself across industries and company sizes. The common thread is not the original mistake. It is the communication failure that follows, turning a manageable problem into a lasting brand scar.
The CEO as Media Platform: What Most Leaders Get Wrong
The role of CEO has quietly shifted from boardroom operator to something closer to a media personality.

Corporate boards are waking up to something communication professionals have known for years: how a CEO speaks is not a personality quirk, it is a business liability.

The soft skill label is officially dead.

The quote circulated widely, picked up by major outlets including The Times of India. A man in his nineties, still shaping how millions think about the planet.
Port Lucaya Marina: When Vague Authority Kills Trust
The new owners of Port Lucaya Marina in Grand Bahama say the Grand Bahama Port Authority issued a stop-work order that shut down demolition for three days without giving a clear reason.

Acas Conflict Code: Why Early Conversation Wins
Acas, the UK workplace advisory body, has opened a public consultation on updates to its code of practice for resolving workplace disputes.
