— Warren Buffet

Is your organisation underprepared?
In my 30 plus years of working in and around the media, in ‘war rooms’ and working with leaders in high-stakes situations, I’ve found that businesses are mostly under-prepared when it comes to crisis preparation.
Even the word ‘crisis’ sounds ‘shit’ scary (as one of my emerging leaders said to me in a workshop).
Others think they’ll just know what to do – intuitively – and others still seem to put their head in the sand now knowing even where to start or even think about crisis preparedness.
As for the media, nearly everyone who hasn’t had good media training, simply thinks that the media is ‘out to get them’ they’ll be taken ‘out of context’, misquoted and be ridiculed amongst their peers.
If any of this rings true and you’re ready to do something about it - talk to me today.
