STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS
High-concern, low-trust situations can develop very quickly and without warning. Environmental accidents, contaminated drinking water, communicable disease, historical contamination, legislative changes, public health studies, and risk assessments are just a few examples of issues that can generate fear and outrage within a community. Develop strategies to connect with your stakeholders, build consensus, and move your project forward. MEDIA TRAINING You get one chance to make a first impression. Your message is critical, and so is your messenger! Prepare your spokespeople to deliver your story and protect the credibility of your organization. Anticipate the challenging questions, prepare and deliver clear messages, brush up on your interview techniques, and gain insights on working with the media to engage your stakeholders ~ even when the news is bad. Already in the spotlight? Your past media coverage holds important clues that can help you build a stronger communication program. Our focused, small-group training exercises can be tailored to respond to your issue-specific media coverage. Includes practical, on-camera training and participant evaluation. Here’s what some past participants have said about our training: See TESTIMONIALS PUBLIC CONSULTATION The public has a right to know! And it’s your job to tell them! Public consultation may be a regulatory requirement to complete your installation, environmental risk assessment, or public health study. Whether your project affects a community or a nation, following a transparent process can be critical to your success. Opinion surveys, community information sessions, newsletters, media and interest group relations can effectively engage your audience and build collaboration in identifying shared goals and moving your project forward. |
