In speaking with fellow veteran PR pro @warren_weeks on his podcast, we tackled several timely trends, such the challenge of truly global corporate communication at a time of simmering geopolitical tensions which have increased since I returned from China last year. We also talked about the public relations probity of an organization’s CEO making inappropriate requests of a comms chief, such as keeping their daughter’s name out of the news on a controversial issue.

"Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.' 'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point. Here's why I'm telling you this. When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." –@rogerfederer

The longer you tolerate what’s wrong in your life, the longer you unnecessarily delay what’s right.

.@MLInstitute is pleased to welcome @BobPickard as our newest Senior Fellow! Until 2023, Bob served as Director General of Communications at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), a multilateral investment bank with 109 member countries. He publicly resigned from that position, protesting the undue influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the everyday operations of the bank. As a result, the Government of Canada suspended its membership in AIIB, pending an extended review of its governance and management. “We are delighted to welcome Bob to our ranks. He is an accomplished international executive with decades of experience in Asia. But, more importantly, he is a principled Canadian who shares our vision for a better and realistic approach to foreign affairs," notes @jbmllr, MLI's director of Foreign Affairs, National Defence and National Security. macdonaldlaurier.ca/cm-expert/bob-…

@AP Six years ago, I made a choice that profoundly transformed my life: I gave up alcohol. This weekend marks the sixth anniversary of that pivotal decision, and it remains the best lifestyle enhancement I've ever made.
