0420-crisis-communication

In a crisis, leaders and their organization are in the spotlight as never before.

Key audiences who have the power to impact their long-term future will judge how effectively the crisis is being managed just as much from what leaders and the organization say.

Employees are hungry for information – just when all the answers they are demanding are not available.

This half day virtual training will set out the principles that leaders should establish in order to communicate during a prolonged crisis.

Experienced communications professionals will help your organizations identify practical tools and techniques for managing communications during a crisis.

Building on best practices and lessons learned, participants will be coached on how to think strategically in terms of managing their team members, crafting their messages for a range of stakeholders and building trust for their brand during a period of great uncertainty.

This interactive program will equip you with best practice skills and techniques as well as a planning framework to help you lead an effective response within your organization.

Our coaches will outline effective leadership behaviors and how to create the right decision-making structures that help build confidence in the organization’s capability to achieve long term survival.
