CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS
Preparing for and Managing the Media 101 & 201
Something happened…and it’s big! The media is knocking on the door and blowing up your phones and emails. As the media pokes a camera in your face, your heart begins racing. THIS IS A CRISIS. Do you Face Everything and Rise? Or do you Face Everything and Run? In this course you will learn to convert your fear to confidence by realizing that every adverse situation is an opportunity not an opposition.
Through this Crisis Communications: Preparing for and Managing the Media course, individuals and organizations will learn how to find the right words to say under high pressure and FACE the media with confidence. The correct strategic approach in a crisis can make all the difference between a reputation destroyed or a reputation preserved. Be assured, in a crisis, the way you respond tests your mettle.

- Know how to manage the media under high pressure
