The participants in the module ‘Developing A Powerful Voice’ were helped to create dynamic and interesting presentations. We then coached the women in how to
present these in a powerful and impactful way.
It was a great pleasure in working with so many strong and inspiring women and hearing their stories.

CRISIS Communication    

Minimise the impact of potential crises on your organisation. 

When a crisis unfolds within your organisation or an issue suddenly escalates, there is no time for practicing your responses to the media. You do not get a second chance to respond promptly, clearly and sensitively.

Therefore, having good procedures and agreed responses in place will help you to protect your reputation and minimise potential damage.

This workshop can be tailored to your requirements and focus on crises, issues, or both.

What’s covered? 

• Crisis Communication Audit
• Pro-Active and Re-Active reporting
• Crisis Media handling techniques
• Building positive media relationships
• The Press Conference
