Epstein Everything - Davos Man Can't Stand Up to That

The World Economic Forum meets in Davos January 15th - 19 this year. It's been a while since that event dominated world news before, during and after. 

In 2024, the goings-on might be even of less interest and relevance to global affairs. And, who cares any more who could afford to be a member of the WEF and attend. Billionaires are a dime a dozen. No, attendees, don't struggle to squeeze into a photo-op. 

In short, Davos Man is over. Instead of close media analysis of what will be covered next week - the theme is Restoring Trust - the digital front pages are obsessed with the deepening fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein doc drops. "Three Ways" demand as much attention as had what Bill Clinton didn't define as sex decades ago.

That media focus could be sustained while the supposed global influencers trudge through the snow in Davos. The Epstein-related story lines are too juicy not to exploit. Among them is what is Clinton up to jaw-jawing with Gavin Newsom in Mexico? Are they cooking up a coup to topple Joe Biden as the Democratic Party nominee for US President? 

In addition, we are preoccupied with the question: How come some players like Clinton pull off remaining a mover and shaker, despite the Epstein connection, and others such as Apollo co-founder Leon Black are unable to make progress in reputation restoration?  Should Black have created a campaign to be likable as is the Clinton signature? The ghost of Epstein haunts unequally. 

Of course, there are plenty of other developments which distract from Davos anything. They range from global equities to the future of work. 

In my intuitive coaching I warn clients that if they opt for the attention game they will have to be alert about what spheres of influence are going poof or even becoming open to derision.  

Complimentary confidential intuitive coaching session. No pressure. Maybe even some lightness of being. Please contact Jane Genova for an appointment (text/phone 203-468-8579 or email at janegenova374@gmail.com)

Harvard/Columbia Law Students Made Their Point, Davis Polk Rescinds Their Jobs

Image
"Davis Polk & Wardwell rescinded job offers to three law students at Harvard and Columbia universities after organizations they were part of made controversial statements about the Hamas attack on Israel ... they were leaders of groups that signed on to the Joint Statement from Palestine Solidarity Groups at Columbia University and the Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine."   Bloomberg Law , October 17, 2023 Davis Polk did not provide the names of the students. Could privilege be part of the reason the students who made the statements might have been unaware of the potential for severe consequences? In the hood as well as lower middle class neighborhoods we were totally aware of the correlation of what came out of mouths and employment and even survival. I got down cold not to mouth off. Legendary were tales of what happened to those who did shoot off their mouths.  The clients of law firms could be among those who are creat

The Two Letters - Being from Ethiopia Doesn't Get Melat Kiros Off the Hook from Understanding the Implicit Employer-Employee Contract in America

  That first letter.  It had been sent from a number of law firms - ranging from Sidley Austin to Sullivan & Cromwell to Paul,Weiss - to a number of law school deans. As many interpreted that communication it seemed to contain a veiled threat that if perceived antisemitism wasn't stopped recruitment at those law schools could be. I experienced the tone and content as, well, heavy-handed. And I have said just that in public venues. But I no longer do contract communications assignments for law firms. No residual looping remains since I have changed careers.  When I did do law firm assignments, such as for Paul,Weiss, you bet, I avoided any tone or content even in non-related material which could throw shade on the clients. That's the way it goes.  Since before doing assignments for law firms I had worked full-time for the Fortune 50, from the get-go I got the "it" - no open disagreement with those who sign the check. In fact, the "approval channel" is

From Watergate Glam to Offering Buyouts to Reduce Manpower By 240: The Washington Post

It's another sad day in what had been glam.  The Washington Post announced its plan to downsize manpower throughout the organization by 240. That will start with buyouts.  CNN admitted it's not ready for the future. The Wall Street Journal has gone part pop culture to attract a younger audience. The average age of its reader is 59. We already know ABC probably will be up for sale. Establishment media is making its point: Its existence is uncertain. What could replace it could be digital apps on phones. Public relations folks will pitch their clients' stories to the apps. Or maybe PR also will go poof. Everyone will be an influencer. Data or the gut for your careers and communications? Both of course. Complimentary consultation with intuitive coach, content-creator, and Tarot reader Jane Genova (text 202-468-8579, janegenova374@gmail.com ).
