Crisis Communications Training – Janine Lazarus Media Consultancy

This intensive programme is specifically designed to help delegates manage incidents before they escalate into potentially threatening media crises.

Key components of the programme include:

A detailed discussion of each delegate’s crisis experiences
Guidelines for managing the media during a crisis
Real-time case scenarios and practical exercises
Strategies to keep the ‘watch-dogs’ at bay
Putting a positive spin on thorny issues

This effective role-play coaching method provides participants with the hands-on experience necessary to avert a media crisis before stepping into the public arena.

It is crucial for all businesses to be ready to respond to emergency situations as part of their safety, crisis planning and preparation.
