A New Chapter for The Celtic: Weekly Monday Releases Begin This December
As this year begins its final turn, I’ve found myself reflecting on the growth of The Celtic — not just as a blog, but as a space for real conversation about service, resilience, operational leadership, and the complex realities facing the sectors we serve.
What started as a quiet place to share lessons learned from uniformed service, emergency management, and crisis leadership has evolved into something with far greater reach and resonance. Readers from government, healthcare, education, maritime, industry, and private enterprise return each week looking for insight — and I take that seriously.
Not to worry — We will release our Thanksgiving Day blog tomorrow, ahead of the holiday rush.
With that in mind, and as we prepare to enter a new month and a new year, I want to ensure that The Celtic continues with clarity and intention. Today, I’m announcing a change that reflects both the growth of this community and the responsibility that comes with it:
Beginning December 1, The Celtic will publish every Monday.
Why Shift to Mondays?
Mondays are when:
Leaders set the tone for the week
Emergency managers reset their operational picture
Government and private-sector teams align priorities
Planners, analysts, and responders prepare for emerging risks
Professionals seek direction, insight, and clarity
It’s the ideal moment for thoughtful leadership content to shape the week ahead.
Publishing on Monday allows The Celtic to be part of that rhythm — a voice centered on preparation, perspective, and purpose.
What You’ll See Moving Forward
The Celtic will continue to deliver:
Honest reflection
Practical, real-world analysis
Sector-wide insight grounded in operational experience
Leadership lessons shaped by service
Direct, unvarnished truth about risk and resilience
Stability in a landscape defined by volatility
Each Monday, you’ll receive a piece designed not just to inform, but to guide.
A Final Note of Gratitude
To everyone who has read, shared, discussed, or relied on these posts — thank you.
Your engagement, your messages, and your trust have shaped what The Celtic has become.
This community proves something important:
Resilience doesn’t happen in isolation.
It grows when people show up for each other — consistently, deliberately, and with purpose.
I’m grateful you’re here.
And I look forward to starting each week with you.
— Michael and the Celtic Edge team
