Speaking is the #1 fear among North American adults. Twenty percent of all business communication is designed to clear up the confusion that the last piece of business communication created. Allan is passionate about solving these serious business problems with clear, short, effective communication. As a consultant to international diplomats in world capitals, Allan learned the value of five minute meetings, one sentence directions and one page briefing notes. In his work with the military, he learned how clear communication protects lives and unclear messages can result in death. With chapters on witness preparation, sales, negotiation, media, public speaking and internal presentations, this is a comprehensive guide for anyone who must direct others or ask for help in writing or verbally—and that's everybody.

With more than 100 check lists, diagrams, charts, tables, forms and pre-written documents, this is the comprehensive guide to a crisis plan that you need. Conversational prose makes complex concepts in risk and crisis management easily accessible. Case studies and anecdotes from real-life incidents remind readers of the dos and don'ts of crisis management. When you hear the expression, "He wrote the book on crisis management"-this is the book. This book had its origins in the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Dr. Bonner had trained responders who went to Alaska and was then commissioned to design and execute major oil spills for the oil industry and coast guard on both coast of North America. Seeing that their crisis plans were not adequate, clients then commissioned new plans from scratch. This plan has been polished, re-written, researched and tested in the diplomatic corps, with the military, trade officials, hospitals, police forces, off-shore drilling companies, mining companies and many other high need clients on five continents over 15 years.
