Course Overview
In today’s fast-paced business environment, crises are an inevitable reality—whether financial, organizational, or reputational. During such critical times, executive secretaries play a pivotal role in supporting leadership and ensuring effective communication both internally and externally.
Crisis communication is not simply about transmitting information; it is a strategic tool for managing situations, building trust, and calming concerns among employees, stakeholders, and the public.
Secretarial support in crisis communication requires specialized skills such as handling sensitive information, drafting clear and precise messages, organizing emergency meetings, and ensuring that accurate information reaches the right people at the right time.
Secretaries also play a key role in monitoring the execution of communication plans and documenting actions to guarantee transparency and accountability.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to support executive leadership in managing crisis communication. Through interactive sessions, participants will explore planning, execution, internal and external communication strategies, and future trends in crisis management.
