No matter how well your communications plan is written, it will only be as effective as the training and preparation the leaders on your team have received.

This engaging, fast-paced one-day course prepares individuals in the public and private sectors for messaging when crisis strikes, whether it comes in the form of a critical incident outside the organization or controversy directed at it. This timely training prepares you to contribute to the public messaging when communication matters most.

Topics include:

· Messaging in real time through social media (with case study)

· The art of the effective news release

· Managing misinformation online and in the media

· Navigating the complex world of media relations

· Winning the news conference from prep to post-conference

· Practical exercises that put the training into practice

Effective public communication has never been more complex or more important. Obtain time-tested tools to communicate through the inevitable critical incidents by a sought-after crisis communications instructor, Julie Parker.
