Beth Swanson and I teamed up to write a piece called, “What to Do If Your CEO Suddenly Dies” – featured in Ragan’s PR Daily. Generated by the sudden death of SurveryMonkey’s CEO, this is a timely and sensitive article on what to do in the aftermath of a leader’s death. While it is unpleasant to think of this happening in anyone’s organization, it is necessary to plan for when in business.

While it is unpleasant to think of this happening in any organization, it is necessary to plan for in business.
