On New Year’s Eve, 2019, no one predicted the disputation and tragedy we would endure in 2020. It required colossal achievements just to cross the finish line and enter the new year 2021.

There was no sign of an invisible evil tumbling towards us. We looked to the new year as we always did, pledging resolutions about our waistline, achieving new business goals and promising more charitable giving or thoughtfulness, thankful for a good life in the year just past, as well as anticipating one in the next.

As New Year’s Eve 2020 approached, the year flashed through our mind as a blur. We remember many were driven to the brink and realized it took resilience, toughmindedness, prayer and a little bit of luck to survive; a small group had a successful windfall.

​Arriving at the annual milestone, it was not a celebration. It was quiet, unique with a singular hope thinking about health and loved ones. A very distinct and somber holiday season

Months into the Pandemic, Many Lawyers Have Not Mastered Skills Necessary for Virtual Meetings.

Before COVID-19, there were a few virtual law firms. Now all law firms are virtual.

​Virtual practices had not been attractive. Lawyers recognized it is difficult to be as effective on a computer or TV screen as they are face-to-face with important constituencies - clients, judges, juries, bankers, regulators and many more.

The Perfect Humble News Release Vital for Announcements, Crisis, Positioning

Under siege, chief executives and corporate legal counsels would do well to heed warnings of an 18th century philosopher, theologian and scientist who might have envisioned today’s digital world when he said: “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.”
Joseph Priestly recognized a timeless maxim most business leaders appear to have forgotten: In times of complexity — less is more — and simplicity rules.

​Leaders risk neglecting one of the most basic and important tools that speaks in their voice: the perfect humble news release.

Richard Torrenzano Quoted In Recent Bloomberg Article on Federal Reserve's Lack of Effective Public Strategy

Could Do Better

It could do better, according to Richard Torrenzano, chief executive of The Torrenzano Group, which counsels corporations and executives on reputational strategy.

“The Federal Reserve does have a large megaphone and bully-pulpit platforms they have chosen not to use,’’ Torrenzano said. “They need to explain why and what they are doing in an active and thoughtful way,” including on social media, he said. “Until they do, they will continually get beat up.’’
​

In 2006, the Fed’s then-Vice Chairman Donald Kohn urged his colleagues to spell out what that meant. “We have all said in our speeches, we are becoming more data-dependent,” he said. “It behooves us to explain to the public what data we’re looking at.”
