An insights and support session for public relations and leadership communication
Communicating through Chaos
We are living through an era of extreme disruption, where political turmoil, economic instability and the rapid spread of misinformation are creating unprecedented challenges. What was business as usual yesterday may be untenable tomorrow.
Public relations and communications professionals, along with those working in media and public engagement, are already feeling the pressure - facing demands to defend, deflect or distort narratives under volatile conditions.
This free, 60-minute session is designed to help practitioners prepare for the realities ahead. Ethical challenges, reputational risks and political interference are no longer distant possibilities but daily battles.
This session is free because preparedness should not be a privilege. Your ability to navigate chaos should not depend on a budget line. The aim is to find a starting point and hopefully, draw support (and a bit of hope and strength) from collective wisdom.
Please don't send your AI notetaker. There are a limited number of places and your AI will take up space that's meant for real live humans.
