“CEOs and leaders are given pages of key messages but it’s not until media training that most stop and put them into their own words. Media training isn’t just about improving presentation skills and techniques, it’s about finding ways to better connect with your audience,” – Leisa Goddard

Why having a trained spokesperson in a crisis is essential
Boards consider media training for senior executives essential to risk mitigation.
Adoni provides specialised crisis management consulting services and media training is an important pillar of a company’s crisis communication plan.
Too often media attention comes when leaders are not prepared and that puts their reputation at risk and damages the company’s brand trust and share price.
Accidents, scandals, failures in governance and third-party controversies can create a media frenzy. As a team, Adoni regularly manages crises and it’s at that point that all parties want to know there is a clear, confident and concise spokesperson ready to face the media.
