Join me Thursday, February 13, 2025 on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel, as I talk with top-ranked communications professional, author, and an award-winning journalist, Sean Mallen, as we talk about Crisis Communications.  During our discussion we touch on: 1. Crisis Management vs Crisis Communications,    2. Reputation,   3. Empathy,   4. Transparency,   5. Responsibility,  6. Social Media impacts,   7. A 'rapid response',   8. Saying sorry (meaning it and when to say it),   9. Testing & Practice,   10. Media training,   11. Bridging and pivoting,  12. Preparing for anything (the unexpected)...and much more!   Sean shares some wonderful insights on what to do - and not do - during a crisis, along with some great real-life examples. If you're a leader or in a position where you'll be in charge of communications during an event that impacts your business, you don't want to miss what Sean has to share. Enjoy!
