Exploring San Francisco during the PRSA 2012 International Conference

Posted by Lesly Simmons on October 5th 2012  

Chances are you already know that the 2012 PRSA International Conference, taking place in San Francisco on Oct. 13-16, is the premiere destination for public relations professionals to connect, refresh and learn the latest techniques from some of the most experienced and recognized professionals in our industry. This year is certainly no different, as we have some of the most impressive keynote speakers lined up in our conference history.

If there is one difference this year, I could sum it up in three words—location, location, location! San Francisco is one of the world’s great cities and certainly one of the most amazing in the United States. In fact, Business Week just named it “America’s Best City for 2012”!

When you do a Google search, what do you want from your results?

When you flip through the flyers in the Sunday paper, what stops you from tossing them?

When you donate to a charity, vote for a candidate or choose the sexier tablet, what makes you act?

Relevance — which is what’s missing from too many brands.

How To Debate Better Than A Presidential Candidate and Manage Conflict Like A Pro

Posted by Alan Cohen on October 3rd 2012  

Part of the draw of the presidential debate is the ensuing conflict. We want to hear how each candidate responds to points of difference, and clarifies their own perspectives.

Yet, on the job, many people feel that conflict is not a desirable state. They are even afraid of it. Well, I beg to differ. I think that it is wonderful when folks are not afraid to engage in passionate dialogue around issues and decisions that are key to personal and organizational success. When people do not hesitate to disagree with, challenge or question one another — all in the spirit of finding the best answers, discovering the truth and making great decisions — some really cool things can happen.

It can increase commitment, engagement and accountability; drive results; and build understanding, trust and rapport. We can disagree and thrive. And here is another reality: when conflict isn’t surfaced and discussed, it can actually undercut situations and relationships in ways that are insidious and harmful.

How we manage conflict is where the rubber hits the road!
