If the audience at your seminar or conference  needs a wake up call to better handle a crisis, the topics below are perfect for you.  Whether your audience is made up of industry, manufacturing, education, healthcare, retail, financial, or government, Gerard Braud offers valuable information tailored to take them to the next level.

Gerard Braud cut his teeth in the crisis arena as a front-line journalist for 15 years, covering events such as one of the nation’s deadliest train derailments, one of the worst federal prison riots and some of the country’s worst industrial accidents and natural disasters.

With reverse engineering, Braud has created proven methods to help organizations communicate with the media, employees, families, investors, customers and other stakeholders during a crisis.  These methods are designed to protect both your profits and reputation.

Today, a wide variety of organizations turn to Braud Communications to write their crisis communications plans. After the events of September 11, 2001, Gerard Braud was commissioned to write the crisis communications plan for the Internal Revenue Service and its 800 offices across America.
    If you need to teach small groups or large audiences about crisis communications, these seminars can stand alone or be combined.
 
Before writing a crisis communications plan, first you must know where you are vulnerable. This seminar teaches what questions to ask in the beginning to ensure a successful plan.
 
Your plan must be so simple that anyone in the organization can execute it, yet thorough enough that it gives vital information to the media, employees and other stakeholders. This workshop takes you step-by-step through the process.
 
If you don’t test a new plan, the plan may be your next disaster. This seminar teaches you the elements of a good crisis drill, complete with video of real drills we have conducted for clients.
 
A vital part of your plan needs to be preapproved key messages for your most likely scenarios. This seminar teaches you how to write key messages that will withstand a crisis.
 
If the power goes out, can you still execute your communications plan? This program shows you the tools the pros use to communicate in the dark.
 
Decide what works best for you - assemble a plan on your own, ask us to supervise your staff as they write, ask us to review your plan when you are finished, hire us for a drill or commission us to write the plan for you. What works for you and your budget, works for us.
  For more information about protecting your organization with a strong crisis communications plan, give us a call. (Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?)
