Why this course

When something breaks, silence or guesswork makes it worse. This short, practical course gives you a simple playbook for the first hours of a crisis: what to say, what not to say, and how to update stakeholders without fuelling rumours or legal risk. Built for real‑world use, not PR theatre.

Great for: founders, spokespeople, comms/PR leads, operations managers, nonprofit teams, campus leaders — anyone who might need to brief staff, customers, partners, or media when things go wrong.
