Admit the error and..Just eat the crow

A friend of mine is conflicted about an error she made in a public venue.  She's trying to spin her way out of this mess.

As a PR practitioner, she asked for my advice.

I told her to admit the error, eat the crow and move on.  Just say, "I made a mistake."

With that, the crisis will end…the digging will stop and a quick mea culpa will show her bravery and will end it all.

Anything less will make her appear flaky, slick and untrustworthy.

I've learned that crow can taste good too.
