Smart Plans, Quick Actions, Great Outcomes
When the crisis strikes, it’s too late to think about what should have been done. This program will help managers think, plan and act before the emergency hits. Whether it’s a terrorist attack, a massive structural failure, system outage or a corporate scandal, knowing what to do and say can improve the outcome. What should be said to the media, staff, and to the public is discussed. The way your organization's spokesperson responds under difficult circumstances can determine how the public will react to the crisis. Don’t be caught without a plan. Learn what should be included in the plan and how that plan should be communicated and implemented.

of communicating during a crisis

Why
Listen to Kathy Loveless on Crisis Management:
During a career that spans more than three decades, Kathy has dealt
with the public, the media and employees during significant crises. As
a public affairs officer for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Department
of the Interior in Washington, D.C. she addressed such crises as the failure
of Teton Dam in Idaho that resulted in the loss of 11 lives and millions
of dollars of personal and public property. Then, while serving as the Upper
Colorado Regional Public Affairs Officer for Reclamation, she dealt with
the flooding of the Colorado River and many
of its tributaries, and the resulting damage to Glen Canyon Dam and other
facilities. Daily, she received calls from places as distant as Australia
and Japan regarding the handling of these crises. All national
network television and radio news programs sought continual updates from
Kathy.
As an invited
keynote speaker for the Central Intelligence Agency, she coincidentally
landed in Washington, D.C. minutes before the attack
on America, September 11, 2001. The ensuing events caused the CIA
to request Kathy to develop and
present programs on coping with change during times of crisis.Contact
