Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz ‘hire Harry and Meghan's lawyer' amid family feud after growing close to the Sussexes
BROOKLYN Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyer to help protect their reputations as their family feud escalates. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have grown close to Harry and Meghan - who have also fallen out with David and Victoria Beckham. 5 5 They've now instructed the Prince's top legal eagle Jenny Afia to help with "reputation management". The British solicitor works for Schillings law firm and was recently seen speaking on The Princes And The Press documentary. A source told the Mail on Sunday: "All of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer. "Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action. "For the Beckhams the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that. "The two couples are very close indeed." Brooklyn and wife Nicola first sparked rumours of a huge rift between them and his parents when they snubbed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year. Billionaire heiress, Nicola has since faced accusations of 'controlling' Brooklyn and is believed to be at the centre of the escalating feud between the Peltz and Beckham families. Budding photographer Brooklyn previously fell out with his parents shortly after his marriage to Nicola. Yet with a fresh clash in full swing, experts have told The Sun how the eldest of the Beckham clan has chosen his wife over his mega-famous family. Amid the allegations over her conduct, a source previously said of the Lola star: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre." Yet her mates have now taken a stand. One told MirrorOnline: "She is not isolating him [Brooklyn] at all. "He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. "They are each other's family.' 5 5

EXCLUSIVE Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz hire Duke and Duchess of Sussex's lawyer to help with 'reputation management amid family rift
They are said to have bonded over 'fallouts' with their in-laws. And now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have hired the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's lawyer to help them with their 'reputation management'. Last week, the couple, who have reportedly fallen out with his parents David and Victoria, instructed Jenny Afia, the British solicitor who works for Schillings law firm. It is understood that there was a referral from the Duchess of Sussex after she and Harry met Brooklyn and Nicola at a party in Montecito, California, three weeks ago as guests of Brian Robbins, chief executive at Paramount Pictures. Ms Afia's appointment has prompted 'much amusement', it is claimed, among the Beckhams, as Posh and Becks fell out with Harry some years ago after they were accused by the couple of leaking stories. A source familiar with the rift told the MoS: 'You couldn't really make it up, first Brooklyn and Nicola cosy up together and realise they have quite a lot in common, and then all of a sudden they have enlisted the help of the Sussexes' long-serving lawyer. 'Nicola and Brooklyn are getting fed up of stories running they don't like. Nicola likes to control everything and they have taken this rather drastic action. 'For the Beckhams the irony isn't lost. They fell out with Meghan and Harry after they accused them of leaking stories – they were furious and Brooklyn knows that. 'The two couples are very close indeed.' The feud began in the run-up to Brooklyn and Nicola's extravagant Palm Beach wedding in April 2022. But it came to a head during David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year when, despite travelling to London, Brooklyn and Nicola didn't attend a big family party at the Beckhams ' Cotswolds home, an idyllic trip to France or a meal at Notting Hill Michelin-starred restaurant, Core. Brooklyn, 26, also missed a 'boys fishing trip' to the Scottish Highlands with his father and his younger brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, as well as a pre-birthday bash at Miami restaurant Cipriani at the end of March.

Stanford Brings In Bozoma Saint John To Speak On Reputation Management
Bozoma Saint John speaking to business students at Stanford. Allison Kluger's Stanford Graduate School of Business class "Reputation Management: Strategies for Successful Communicators' hosted iconic marketing executive, author, and entrepreneur Bozoma Saint John for a conversation on "Reputation of a Risk-Taker, Survivor and Badass." In this class, students explore how they can effectively communicate to create, adapt and maintain their personal reputation as they navigate career decisions and interact with different professionals along their journey. The course is designed along three interlocking elements: reputation management literature, relevant case studies, and curated guest speakers. Students learn the fundamentals of strategic corporate communication and the risk of not managing reputation effectively. Kluger shared why Saint John was the perfect leader to inspire her students, 'After eleven years teaching Reputation Management, I thought I'd seen every possible guest and perspective, until Bozoma Saint John joined our class this week, filled with 70+ graduate students. You could hear a pin drop as Bozoma shared impactful, hysterical, brilliant, and memorable gems with my students. Bozoma taught us the power of curiosity, going with your gut instinct, and living life urgently so we can scoop everything up and be the greatest version of ourselves.' Bozoma Saint John speaking on reputation management and personal branding at Stanford Business ... More School. Saint John began speaking on her personal brand during her marketing career, "My reputation as a cultural influence, as someone who sits right in the middle fluidly between any number of industries, is what has earned me the seat not just at the table but to control the table.' She also transitioned to emphasizing standing out rather than fitting in. "What is the point of being 'in,' if you can't make a difference? I take some lessons from physics. Yes, I'm a marketer but I also understand science. Matter is made up of molecules. You change one molecule and the matter changes. When I entered Apple, that matter changed. Why would I not be confident in my own presence? For me, anytime I've entered a new environment, I understand the power of my molecule and the fact that that environment will never be the same when I leave it," she explained. Saint John is a dynamic and influential business leader who has consistently broken barriers and shattered glass ceilings throughout her career in various industries; including roles as the Global CMO of Netflix, CMO of Endeavor, CBO of Uber, Head of Marketing of Apple Music & iTunes and Head of Music and Entertainment Marketing at PepsiCo. Last year, she made her television debut on season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and this fall, she'll take on a mentorship role as the Chief Marketing Officer on the new NBC reality series 'On Brand With Jimmy Fallon.' She has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, includinginduction into the Marketing Hall of Fame (2022), induction into the American Advertising Federation Hall of Achievement (2014), induction into Billboard's Women in Music Hall of Fame (2018); and has been included in Fast Company's Most Creative People (2013), The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 list (2018) and crowned as The World's Most Influential CMO by Forbes (2021). Saint John is also the founder of the beauty brand, Eve By Boz and creator of the online series, 'The Badass Workshop'. Throughout her career and entrepreneurial evolution, Saint John has continued to show up as her authentic self. 'The choice —and it is a choice—to show up fully as yourself is not an easy one in any circumstance. It is not easy in this classroom, and it is not easy in the biggest conference rooms and corporations in the world. I don't walk into any environment and think I'm going to change anyone's mind about what they think about me. That's just too much work. It's too exhausting and it's too disappointing. Because it's painful and people are going to assume what they want of you. If you spend all of your time trying to convince them otherwise, you're going to waste your time. So I'd rather work on myself, making sure that I quell the fears of showing up as myself. "Never try to assimilate, just be yourself. I'd rather spend time working on myself than spend effort making others like me." Bozoma Saint John and Stanford Business School students. Saint John left a lasting impression on Stanford students, energizing them to elevate their personal brands with purpose and confidence. One student, Tess Hartigan, shared the impact Saint John's lecture left on her: 'Having Bozoma Saint John in class was sensational. I was brought to laughter and tears. Her gumption and shine were evident in every word. It was a master class discussion of eloquence, grit, and grace.'

Is your business reputation currently under fire?
Going through a difficult experience like bankruptcy can damage a company's public profile initially, but acknowledging its shortcomings and creating a transparent action plan to turn the situation around also provides the business a unique opportunity to reinvent itself during the downtime. Forward-thinking leaders spend time reassessing their product offerings, customer service strategies, and market positioning to better align with current consumer expectations. Taking a proactive approach to get back into the public's good graces assures past and prospective stakeholders that the company is not only recovering from a bad season of missteps productively, but it's also evolving for future success. Below, 10 Fast Company Executive Board members each share an action step company leaders can take to restore confidence among former stakeholders and supporters after their recovery and reflection period. 1. BE RADICALLY TRANSPARENT THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY. Company leaders should implement radical transparency about their journey through the financial crisis, restructuring process, and specific reforms instituted. Publicly acknowledging past mistakes while clearly communicating the concrete steps taken to prevent recurrence demonstrates accountability and signals a genuine transformation that previous stakeholders can trust. – Tarek El Ali, ZBIOME™ 2. CONTROL YOUR BRAND'S NARRATIVE. Use strategic reputation management to rebuild trust: Proactively publish positive news, optimize SEO with owned content, and engage stakeholders directly. Controlling the narrative online helps suppress negative articles and restore your brand's public image. – Scott Keever, Keever SEO 3. SHARE YOUR RENEWED COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER EXCELLENCE. Just as we build system resilience by establishing data integrity checkpoints, leaders should rebuild their brands by implementing transparent recovery milestones, demonstrating their financial stability and renewed commitment to customer-focused excellence. Then, share these progress markers regularly with previous stakeholders and supporters to rebuild the brand's reputation and credibility. – Chongwei Chen, DataNumen Inc. 4. FOCUS ON HIGHLIGHTING YOUR INVESTMENT VALUE FOR THE FUTURE. Honestly express what you have learned. Don't explain or defend what happened or what you did. Create your business case for what's next and consider how creating that can bring value to stakeholders' investment in you and your plan. – Jay Steven Levin, WinThinking 5. OUTLINE YOUR ROAD TO RECOVERY AND RESTRUCTURE. Engage in transparent, consistent, and empathetic communication with previous stakeholders and supporters. This means openly acknowledging challenges the company faced, taking responsibility where necessary, and outlining the steps taken to recover, restructure, and ensure long-term stability. – Britton Bloch, Navy Federal Credit Union 6. ENSURE YOUR REBRAND ADDS TANGIBLE VALUE TO THE INDUSTRY. First, rebrand thoughtfully and ensure the information about the new leadership is clear and communicated across your website, marketing materials, and customer touchpoints. Consistency and clarity here build trust. Second, don't stop at the visuals—reinforce the rebrand with substance. Launch improved products or services that reflect the new direction. A fresh identity means little without tangible value behind it. – Al Sefati, Clarity Digital, LLC 7. PAY YOUR BILLS IMMEDIATELY. The number one thing leaders can do post-bankruptcy to rebuild brand trust and credibility is to pay everything immediately as the bills come in. It will take some time, but doing that will show vendors and customers that you have made positive changes. – Baruch Labunski, Rank Secure 8. COMMUNICATE YOUR WINS AND STRENGTHS. We help our clients with this every day. Don't run from it, but don't lead with it either. Make sure your wins and strengths are front and center online, so when people look you up, they see progress, not just the past. If it comes up, own it, but frame it as part of the journey. – Travis Schreiber, 9. EXPLAIN WHAT WORKED, WHAT DIDN'T, AND WHAT'S CHANGING.
