How to Successfully Manage Bad Press

Too many cooks will always spoil your broth, and try as you might, teaching new tricks to old dogs is an entirely futile enterprise. However, in spite of the wisdom of some old adages, the idea that "All Publicity is good Publicity" can definitely be tossed into the "ignore" pile by anyone pursuing a serious career in PR. If you're working for any substantial length of time in public relations, there will be occasions when you have to deal with bad press, so reputation management is a skill which you need to learn. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy, since bad press can come in all shapes and sizes, but these four pointers will help you to remain calm and give you time to focus on next steps...

1. Make sure key players are informed

No matter what the size of your company, or your client's company, you should have a PR plan. This should include a crisis management section which will detail the procedures which are taken whenever there is a risk of bad press. Top item on the plan ought to be who needs to be kept informed. Typically, this will be all senior management, and often it will include all members on the communications/marketing team. If this is a lot of individuals, it might even be worth setting up an email group, so that when you do have a crisis you can alert everyone quickly. As press officer, it is your responsibility not only to inform them at the onset of a crisis, but also any key developments and also further press coverage as it occurs.

2. Ensure that employees direct journalist calls to the correct spokespeople

Depending on the number of employees and the amount of clout your company has, journalists may try a number of different methods to speak to an insider about what is going on. This could be sketchy, since other members of the team may not know the ins and outs of the story, or your official company line, and it is easy even for media trained personnel to be flustered by questions. As a part of your day to day strategy, every member of staff should be aware who the press officer is, so that they are able to field any press enquiries. However, when a crisis occurs, it is essential to remind everyone that media enquiries should be directed to the appropriate team member. Having said this, it is important that all members of staff are kept up to date with key developments in any crisis. A successful internal communications strategy will send out updates to all members of staff which give them the information they need.

3. Have a statement ready to go

If the phone starts ringing and emails are flying, even the most experienced of PROs can become flustered. That is why it is useful to have a written statement ready to go to media. The benefits of a written quote are twofold. Firstly, having a written documentation of all of the media you have spoken to will make it easier to track who you have been dealing with. This will be important when the crisis is over since you may want to let those people know some good news, and the journalists will appreciate being kept in the loop as developments happen. Secondly, it avoids a lengthy or difficult telephone conversation which may see you having to deal with awkward questions.

4. Balance it with some good PR

Here's a maxim to believe in: "All Good Publicity is Good Publicity". It's not rocket science, and maybe you can think of it as the yin and yang of PR, but after you've had a crisis it's a good idea to sit down and think about what is great about your company. Unearth the charity work that staff have been involved in, find a real life story about how your product has really made someone's day, or if you're really stuck, just write a press release about how the crisis has been resolved and what procedures have been put into place to protect you and your customers from a similar crisis. If you can get some senior spokespeople to lend their voice to this good news, then it is even better, as it gives more credibility to the story.

Whatever type of PR you are in, you will have to handle bad press at some point in your career. It can be unpleasant, although for some people, this type of reputation management can be one of the highlights of the job. Each case is different, and you learn as you go along, but by remembering those four points, you are well on the way to handling bad press in a professional way.

Making Money With the Eminis

Experienced traders are familiar with emini futures or eminis as they call them. Eminis have been in the market for a long time. They are not as large as 'full-grown' futures that are traded on at stock exchanges. Eminis, on the other hand are traded on the internet.

This permits retail traders to compete against professional traders at the stock exchange, without having to leave the comfort of their homes. Only forex trading can give a trader more benefits than futures trading. Of course, inexperienced traders are at greater risk of losing heavily when dealing with futures or forex trading. But this has not deterred people from trading in either of these markets.

Though trading eminis is not a simple and easy process, a dedicated trader can acquire the skill with experience. Trading rules which apply to stocks and bonds also apply to eminis. Following these basic rules is extremely important when trading with eminis because of the enormous leverage it offers.

Failure to do this will certainly result in wiping away one's trading account within a short time. One of these rules is that you should 'let your profits run'. Another rule insists that you must 'cut your losses short'. This pair of rules makes a very sensible combination and provides for sensible trading.

The second rule, asking you to cut your losses short is of greater importance than the first which demands that you let your profits run. You may wonder why this should be so. It is so because if you do not cut your losses you will certainly deplete your trading account very quickly when you are dealing with eminis. Sadly, people do not pay enough attention to this golden rule and end up facing enormous losses.

We shall now look at this aspect of the trade since it is usually not given the attention it deserves. One knows fully well that the trader, like any of us, would not want to admit even to himself that he has made an erroneous decision. Being reluctant to acknowledge his mistake, the trader's ego will push him into waiting for a favorable change. All this time the trader will be accumulating losses.

While optimism has its own role to play in trading, it is also necessary to use one's common sense and be realistic and disciplined in money management. Breaking basic trading rules is not a sign good money management. Another reason why this 'cut your losses short' rule is violated is that traders lack confidence in the methods that they use to trade.

Because the trader who is chalking up losses feels that he has no better trading option, he holds on to his trading even when he keeps losing. He should bring himself to believe that it would be better to quit the losing trade because other, and better, opportunities would come his way in time.

The lesson one must take home from this is that when trading emini futures or any other market it is essential to have a sound strategy that one can depend on to cut one's losses before they become disastrous.

Computer-Based Therapy Can Help Treat Patients of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders like anxiety or depression, but the symptoms can be quite disabling. The person afflicted with the condition may lose touch with reality and can think, act and behave differently. A recent research suggested that a computer-based approach can be effective in helping people battling schizophrenia.

The researchers found that on interacting with a computer avatar, which represents their hallucinations, patients can feel an improvement in the symptoms. The results of avatar therapy were compared with that of supportive counseling and it was found that the former was effective in reducing auditory hallucinations after a 12-week follow-up.

The study, published in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry in November 2017, comprised 150 participants who were struggling with schizophrenia for the past two decades and were experiencing distressing auditory hallucinations continuously for over a year. Half of the study population was provided with avatar therapy and the remaining was given supportive counseling. All the participants continued taking their antipsychotic medications alongside the therapies.

Avatar therapy versus supportive counseling

Before starting the avatar therapy, the participants worked with the therapists to create their avatars or the computer simulation of the voice which they wanted to tame with features like how it looked and what it said. The avatar sessions lasted for about 50 minutes each, over a period of six weeks. The sessions comprised a three-way dialogue between the patient, therapist and avatar (voiced by the therapist). Every session had a set target and included a face-to-face interaction, lasting for around 10-15 minutes between the patient and his or her avatar. During these one-on-one interactions, patients learned the art of standing up to those distressing voices and clearing any misconceptions. This led to a better control of the situation and a shift in power from the avatar to the patient. Eventually, the avatar realized patient's strengths, positive qualities, higher control and greater power in the relationship. Each session was recorded and handed over to the patient to listen to when they heard the voices again. The supportive counseling also comprised the same number of sessions and tried helping patients by suggesting ways of improving their overall quality of life. The sessions ended by recording a positive message.

After a period of 12 weeks, the patients who took avatar therapy reported a marked alleviation in the disturbing symptoms and power of the voices they often heard. They fared better than their counterparts who were offered supportive counseling.

Important to seek help

Schizophrenia affects 1.1 percent of the American adult population. The chronic disease can take the form of psychosis, necessitating the need for early interventions. While the novel therapies like avatar therapy looks promising, the disease management usually involves a multipronged approach, comprising medication, family education, counseling, behavioral therapies and skill training.

Our trained staff, doctors, nurses and mental health specialists are committed to providing the best treatment in a safe and compassionate environment. Our recovery programs are tailor-made to suit the specific needs of a patient to ensure a better and illness-free life.

Self-Security - The Key to Money Congruency

Whatever your financial situation right now, and yet you feel about it, never forget it is just a circumstance and can be changed in the twinkling of an eye, by a change of perspective.

Now, many people seem to be subject to the idea that there is a recession. But we are only ever subject to a circumstance in our life when we have not yet realized (or have forgotten) our own empowerment. And if we are entirely 'subject' to something, that thing is our 'ruler'.

To some people, this may be a shocking statement. How can we ignore the recession? Your reaction to this question may well explain why the recession is affecting you in the first place!

When an idea is focused upon, it becomes tangible. It literally materialises. When there is hypothesis or speculation over money, money will appear to 'move' in accordance with the speculation, be it speculation in fear or in confidence. The whole stock-market is built upon this principle. Indeed, the entire banking system is founded on this dynamic, an illusion of resources subject to the thoughts, feelings and actions (control and management) that we give those resources.

So it follows that a large number of people in fear of a recession, talking about or predicting a recession, will bring about the subject of their focus: a recession. Now, for those who are agile and canny in their financial self-preservation during a recession, any collective belief does not affect them. In fact many astute business' thrive during a recession.

In claiming our individual power as master of our universe, we can indeed turn away from an unfavorable collective experience and create an individual version (a perspective) which enables us to thrive, whatever the ambient money climate.

Thriving in just about any situation or climate, is a skill and quality which emanates from a permanent feeling of substantial 'self-security'. This feeling is the one that all human beings aspire to, whatever their circumstances, 'millionaire' or survivor.

This self-security has nothing to do with the red or black ink on bank 'statements'. Even wealthy people retain insecurities over money since a dollar evidence to the contrary. But in full emotional 'self-security', we are durably liberated to create our choicest, material life.

For people with naturally philanthropic natures and altruistic business visions, coming to terms with wealth can be very hard. People who listen to 'divine guidance' sometimes have difficulty reconciling ideals of a world-without-money, and keeping a roof over their heads. But actually, God's face shines on bank notes too! Abundance is our divine heritage and 'cash-agility' is just one aspect of it.

Most of the 'spiritual' argument is an attempt to hide the fact that people have not yet got themselves clear enough to allow the flow of money. But all altruism is better performed with millions of dollars behind it.

Availing wealth indulge the challenges of proclaiming our self-worth and the confidence required to acquire financial ease and a wealthy mindset. It becomes an excuse and self-congratulatory procrastination. And like forms of self-sabotage, if we want results we've just got to get over it!

Even ideas of money-less worlds are simply refusals to reconcile the system that we've already got. People who struggle with money can invent a million ways to avoid coming to terms with managing it. The underlying feeling of lack, or wealth that is somehow too difficult to achieve, will flow around the subconscious like a canker, eating away at hope, optimism, even desire.

But money itself, is entirely neutral!

It is purely an energy of communication, shiny enough to reflect back to you every hangup and bit of woolly thinking you can produce. Money does not have an opinion about you, but if you have one about money, you can be sure it will respond!

Some say that if you do the inner work the rest will take care of itself. In many cases this is true. The changes must indeed come from inside. However understanding that fact 'intellectually' and not being able to permanently access positive feelings about wealth, nor see the tangible results, will create continuous inner conflict. Even reading and studying wealth books is not sufficient. Nobody else can make us rich but us!

It was with 3 bankruptcies behind me (despite a very comfortable upbringing) that I carefully set out to eradicate conflict and to cultivate the emotional congruency required to turn my life around and set my money 'default position' to one that enabled me to create the life of my dreams, and enduring serenity about both my self-worth and my money worth.

It is vital to examine if your beliefs, words, feelings and actions are congruent in regard to money.

If, subconsciously, you entertain repetitive thoughts patterns that do not serve your aspirations, or if you do not take appropriate action in spite of setting financial goals, you will not have a congruent money alignment and there will be delay in the manifestation of your money desires. Here's a useful exercise:

1. Write down your money goals for this week, month, year, 5 years. Leave the list for a day and then take it again and next to the numbers, write a spontaneous list of your very first responses as you appraise the goals. See how many of the responses are in alignment with your goals and which ones need working on.
If you do not experience surges of positive emotions with each of the goals and figures, it is clear that some part of your financial 'being' is not quite in agreement with the rest of you!

2. For one week, carry the paper around with you and see how you talk and react about money in every situation that it comes up, shopping, paying bills, selling. Check out the language that you use about the money and monitor your emotions. If you are not feeling good about money, then no amount of action or will power can change that. We must find our inner security, or 'self-security' before any other remedy. It begins with a conscious decision to cultivate the perspective and line every other part of our life up with that perspective.

Transforming insecurities about money frees us to embrace the cornucopia of abundance, which is all about us if we cultivate the right perspective. When we are embracing abundance with a jubilant emotional vibration and a bright perspective, when we are consistently not just taking action, but assuming the habits of the person we are desirous of becoming, the universe can not help itself but prove us right.
