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.

Celebrating the Season with Style and Inclusivity
Take a trip down memory lane with us as we share holiday party stories and explore festive ideas that blend the best of our corporate and solopreneur worlds. Patty reflects on her time at boutique investment firms in Cincinnati, where the holiday parties were a chance to dress up and bond in a warm, family-like atmosphere. Keith chimes in with memories of intimate office dinners that fostered team camaraderie.
Now, as solopreneurs, our celebrations look different—more laid-back and focused on family gatherings. We chat about creative ways to celebrate, like the spirited Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) holiday parties that inspired fun and connection. From potlucks to team-building activities and even alternative venue ideas, we discuss how to make celebrations inclusive and meaningful, no matter your setting.
Join us for personal stories, practical tips, and plenty of inspiration to craft memorable and inclusive holiday traditions!
