Welcome to this week’s #CrisisRoundup!
Summer has officially come to an end and it’s back to routine and business as usual… and I’m thrilled! As much as I enjoy the summer months, I love my work and as the fall lineup of speaking engagements, crisis simulations and crisis planning begins to take shape, I find myself rejuvenated and ready to rock and roll! How about you? Are you looking forward to getting back into the swing of things?
In case this week had you preoccupied, here are some good reads to add to your weekend reading. Enjoy – and be sure to share your #CrisisRoundup with us over on Twitter or in the comments section below.
Happy weekend!
