Crisis Safe & Sound - Spokesperson and Social Media Best Practices
Course Overview
Saying the right thing at the right time is crucial during any kind of crisis. And knowing the right thing to say, while showing empathy, is tough without the proper guidance, preparation and practice. Social media has now made it near impossible for CEOs and spokespersons to hide behind press statements. When stakes are high, even the smartest people can be caught off-guard and fail miserably. Being a spokesperson is almost like an improv act – where one needs to react on the spot with a well-thought-out response. Learn how to look and sound your best in a crisis with our 3P Strategy.
