custom COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA TRAINING workshops

Get your team ready for any communications challenges ahead with a customized workshop based on the Communications Golden Hour® method. By focusing on what needs to happen in every situation, your team can confidently address each new situation's specifics, knowing they can craft the right messages and deliver them effectively—especially when minutes count.

Each workshop is tailored to your specific needs.

Major topics include internal communications, crisis response, key message development, corporate reputation strategy, and presentation and media relations skills.

Interview Preparation and media training

Media interviews are not ordinary conversations. They require preparation.

The right coaching covers techniques including confidently answering challenging questions and getting ahead of the story before the story gets ahead of you. Mock media interviews and feedback sessions help you refine your responses and build confidence for real-world scenarios.

In our sessions, we'll make sure that you have solid messages, including an overarching message that conveys credibility, empathy, and trust in a simple, clear, and logical way.

Welcome.

I'm a communications strategist. I spent 20 years as a reporter covering front-page stories including crimes, wildfires and other disasters, medical and scientific research, policy debates, and misconduct. I trained as a firefighter and emergency manager, learning the ins and outs and complexities on the front lines of emergencies. Since then, I have been a trusted communications advisor with a track record of helping police and other government officials, medical center leaders, scientists, and universities prepare for, navigate, and respond to crises and adapt in the era of nonstop social media communication, partisan news outlets, and divided communities. My book, The Communications Golden Hour: The Essential Guide to Public Information When Every Minute Counts, has been an acclaimed handbook for public information officers since it was first released in 2018.
