Continuity Conversations

Continuity Conversations is where we bring big business resilience to your small business.

We're Patty Bonsera and Keith Hessel and we are committed to the resilience of small businesses. 99.9% of all companies in the U.S. are small businesses. Nearly 1/2 of all employees in the U.S. are employed by a small business.

Small businesses are the ones that are directly involved with, hire people and make the most impact for their local communities and their families. Resilient small businesses create resilient local economies which create resilient cities, counties and so on.

They are the most valuable, yet are the most vulnerable to losing their business and their livelihood without contingency plans for disruptions.

Don't let unexpected challenges hold your small business back. Join the conversation and elevate your resilience today.

Patty Bonsera

I understand firsthand the pain and challenges that come with disruptions, especially when you're unprepared. That's why I've dedicated my work to helping specialty coffee shops and roasters build resilient businesses through contingency planning and emergency readiness, ensuring you can thrive with stability and peace of mind.

My mission is to use my expertise and passion to make a lasting impact on the coffee industry, and I'm always eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals who share this vision of success.

I grew up on Long Island, spent several years living in Germany, and called the Midwest home for two decades. I'm a proud mom of three grown kids, with two wonderful daughters-in-law and two adorable granddaughters. The beach has always been my happy place, thanks to summers spent on the shores of Long Island and love to travel.
