		<description><![CDATA[In my recent post about Trendwatching.com&#8217;s ‘Flawsome’ trend I explained what being &#8216;flawsome&#8217; means but didn&#8217;t expand on what I believe some of its characteristics might be. So here they are.

		<title>Celebrity Endorsements a Reputation-Loser?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The discussion on National Radio&#8217;s &#8216;Afternoons&#8216; programme with Jim Mora yesterday regarding celebrity endorsements was interesting.
Panellists Scott Yorke and Michael Deaker had differing opinions as to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) might pursue former news anchor, Richard Long, over his involvement as &#8216;frontman&#8217; for failed finance company Hanover Finance in terms of lending his reputation [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Lewis&#8217; Christmas ad a reputation-winner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s Christmas advert from UK high-street retailer John Lewis is an out and out reputation winner, which is more than can be said for Littlewoods &#8211; another UK retailer.
Both are cute, featuring children under 5 and a focus on presents, but where the Lewis ad hits the nail on the head in terms of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Navigating Festive Functions &#8211; A 6-Step Guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas is traditionally the season of goodwill. It&#8217;s also the season of the spectacular social and professional blunder, when too much of a good time &#8211; alcohol, relaxation and momentary flippancy &#8211; can have disastrous, and long-lasting, consequences, both personally and professionally.
The festive season is a reputation minefield that can leave you nursing more than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who or What&#8217;s Being Played?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NZ Prime Minister John Key is in hot water and it&#8217;s not cooling off. The &#8216;Teapot Tape&#8217; remains a hot topic of conversation, both in the media and amongst the public, given New Zealand is just one week away from a general election.

		<title>To Increase Engagement Use Your Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When was the last time you used your phone to actually speak to someone? Chances are it won&#8217;t be anything like it used to be even just a few years ago, which is a shame because voice-to-voice, in-person communication is one of the most powerful tools we can use to build trust and rapport, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The overwhelming mood of the nation &#8211; or at least those that followed the Rugby World Cup over the last week or so &#8211; was that the All Blacks would ace the final.
