(Too bad your spokesperson just said out loud
that thing that should never be said out loud.)
There are nine core steps companies need to take to prepare for any potential crisis.
Just nine steps. And ensuring your designated spokesperson is thoroughly prepared and armed to take command of any media interview or public appearance is the seventh.
Command Communications© offers proven techniques and guidance – based on more than 4,000 individuals trained – giving participants the skills and confidence to control their company’s key messages, the interview or presentation, and ultimately the outcome.
Session Offerings
§ Media and Community Engagement Training – The most popular format, normally conducted in small groups of six to eight members of a management team, with each participant receiving at least two mock media interview and critique exercises.
§ 1:1 Executive Coaching – Designed for C-suite and other executives, these sessions are usually two to three hours and more intensely focused given the skill levels of these individuals.
§ Frontline Leadership Skills® – A proprietary training module specifically designed to help frontline managers at manufacturing plants and other facilities to better engage and motivate work groups, including employees who are disgruntled or even hostile toward management.
§ Keynote and Presentation Skills – Provides proven techniques around preparation, practice/rehearsal, and the clear and compelling delivery of major speeches, sales pitches, and board and other business presentations.
