Don't forget you can join me and @lucygobag.bsky.social for the session on Monday night 'Where did it all go wrong...and what can we do about it?'. Free online and at 6.30pm www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989203143...

I’ve worked in crisis comms long enough to know this it’s rarely the size of the incident that causes problems. It’s the lack of structure. My latest newsletter looks at why incident management frameworks are more universal than we think 👇 underpressure.substack.com/p/the-univer...

I am delighted that The Emergency Planning Society Comms group are hosting a webinar with the internationally renowned crisis communication expert and academic Professor Timothy Coombs. Get the date of 13 August at 1pm British Summer Time in the diary for the session.

Crisis comms rarely fail because of the crisis itself — it’s the response that does the damage. I’ve pulled together 10 common pitfalls to avoid 👇 www.linkedin.com/posts/amanda...

Some thoughts for this morning

If you have been following some of the recent cases in the news this discussion may be of interest. @lucygobag.bsky.social and I will look about how we break the cycle of repeating the same problems. 29 June at 6.30pm online and free. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989203143...

I felt compelled to look at why we really should not need public inquiries except in a few cases. But it feels we are a long way from that position. Read my blog amandacomms1.wordpress.com/2026/06/08/w...

People who are affected by disasters and crises rarely have their own voice and can find it difficult to be heard. #mondaythoughts

My latest crisis communication case study has been published. You can find it here along with the back editions. amandacolemancomms.co.uk/resources/

Without action, our modelling shows inflation could peak as high as 5.8% this year. The Treasury could lose up to £8bn a year through higher debt payments & weaker tax revenue. Leaving this to the BoE means hitting households twice — once through higher bills, and again through higher mortgages.

Where did it all go wrong? That is the subject of the next webinar chat with me and Professor Lucy Easthope. Why do we keep repeating the same things leading to the same problems? Monday 29 June 6.30pm BST - free and online. Details below www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1989203143...
