MEDIA & CRISIS
Those who engage with the media during the course of business must hone their skills, to stay sharp for planned and prepared for unplanned/unauthorized media engagements. During a time of crisis, it is even more critical that company representatives are equipped to protect the brand and to properly convey – with care and concern –commitment to people, assets, and the environment.
PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING
Expertise everyone needs but few enjoy or master, strong presentation skills can be elusive to those at every level of an organization. While some try, it is nearly impossible to get through a career without presenting something, to someone. Starting with the basic principles of effective communication can be a helpful first step towards stronger presentations.
STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS & BRAND ADVOCACY
Although they may not realize it, everyone related to the operation is an ambassador for the brand. And not everyone knows how to respond to a confrontation when the stakes are high. Stakeholder relations and brand advocacy training gives remote teams (and contractors) the tools they need to protect the corporate brand with empathy and good will.
