After months of recovery from personal injury, computer meltdowns (at home, work and with my faithful, old laptop), financial trials and new business tribulations, I’m finally back at the wheel and blogging.

In the few months I’ve been away, I’ve managed to drag a new partner into this venture. Liz Lareau, a long-time friend and some-time professional colleague has agreed to give up a significant part of her life and join me as we launch a new, PR venture: Bawden & Lareau Public Relations.

It’s a new experience, this having a full-time partner. Not like the full-time, marriage partner I have (my wife, Caroline). I’m sure Liz would tell you the same thing – I’m not a thing like her husband, Hector.

Instead, we laugh, cajole and joke around the office. But we expect something different in this relationship than the ones we have at home. We challenge each other to think smarter and act on our ideas. To think bolder thoughts. To make the tough calls with clients and the media.

In short, we make each other better.

I’m looking forward to where this new venture takes us and will post our insights, thoughts, observations and ruminations here.
