Crisis Leadership / Communication Workshops & Keynotes
Now What Do We Say?
What do you do when an organizational crisis hits, employees
and stakeholders get nervous and the media begins to circle?
The only way to survive an intense event is to prepare for it,
and communicating effectively during a crisis is the true test
of an organization’s clarity and relevance in the marketplace.
Organization leaders and front-line managers can be a point
of stability and hope to their staff, clientele and the community
at large, if they can create and deliver transparent, timely
and topical communications. This session explores the Content,
Clarity and Commitment of great crisis communication plans.
In this fast-paced, interactive session the audience will learn:
* What people hear and don’t hear during a crisis
* How to speak so staff, customers and the media will listen
* How to create and capitalize on ‘War Room’ techniques
Now What Do We Do?
Crisis happens! When terrorist threats, environmental disasters
or pandemics slam an organization, employees get nervous and
the leadership often beats a retreat to the safety of their
offices. And, when the adversary is a loss of integrity among
the leadership, corporate mal-practice or customer abandonment,
the whole organization rumbles.
What’s a leader to do when calamity and crisis loom?
The first order of crisis preparedness is proactive preparation.
Building resilience and a capacity to stay focused on business
continuity and remaining steady in the boardroom are the first
order of the leadership team.
In this presentation Peggy reveals the psychological, social
and practical keys to ‘crisis-proofing’ your workforce.
She will share the personal and professional steps leaders need
to take to ensure they are ready for whatever comes.
