They found out. It’s not working. They won’t listen.
It’s all over. Now what? Whether the problem is
debt, infidelity, indiscretion, or merely an embarrassing
email sent to the wrong reader, we have all found ourselves
in bad situations of our own making. And whether that puts
you in a delicate position or a full-blown crisis, it can
sometimes feel as if there is no way out. Enter Judy Smith.
America’s number one crisis management expert, Judy Smith is
on speed dial for some of the highest-profile celebrities,
politicians, and corporations in the world. But though her
business is helping her clients recover from widely
publicized personal and professional setbacks, her expertise
is applicable to us all. In Good Self, Bad Self,
Smith shares her methods, gleaned from years of
professional experience, for smoothing over a bad situation
while providing the tools to prevent similar incidents from
ever happening again. The way to get through a
personal or professional rough spot is by understanding the
traits that can lead to our wildest successes and most
painful failures. Smith has learned to identify high-risk
situations that often lead to marital, financial,
professional, or personal imprudence; her ability to
anticipate potential personal disasters has allowed her to
coach people prior to, as well as in the wake of, crisis.
She has identified seven traits that are often found
at the root of a crisis. These traits can be positive and
extremely useful but can cause problems when they fall out
of balance. Drawing on more than twenty years of
professional experience, Smith explains how to prevent these
characteristics from interfering with your life. They are:
· Ego · Denial ·
Fear · Ambition ·
Accommodation · Patience ·
Indulgence Smith uses examples from high-profile
cases to illustrate how celebrities, businesses, and
individuals have become victims of their own bad behavior
when they let one of these traits fall out of balance.
Exploring the underlying factors of some very public and
often unpleasant scandals, Smith shows how different
situations could have been prevented by recalibrating one
(or more) of those seven vital characteristics. As she
shares her method of repairing the damage that these
situations can cause, Smith also explains what we can all be
doing in our own lives to prevent a crisis from getting
started. Nobody’s perfect, and the same character traits
that bring us success can lead to our downfall. It is the
way each of us deals with personal character flaws that
dictates whether we’re going to succeed or fail. In Good
Self, Bad Self, Judy Smith distills years of experience
to share the tools we all need to face our mistakes and
ultimately overcome them.
