“The guest speakers were phenomenal. They had extraordinary, inspirational stories — and practical strategies — to share.”

— Lori, communications and engagement officer

“Crisis Communications course was exceptionally informative and practical. Kathryn’s sessions were outstanding, clear, strategic, and grounded in real world experience. She has a remarkable ability to break down complex crisis scenarios into actionable steps that feel both manageable and immediately applicable. What truly elevated the course was the depth and diversity of the guest speakers, from a communications professional from 9/11, to another after a school shooting, and beyond. Hearing directly from leaders who have navigated very different types of crises provided invaluable perspective. We were able to see inside a wide range of circumstances and response strategies, which added nuance and credibility that you simply cannot get from theory alone. This course has positioned our team extremely well as we move into a comprehensive review of our own crisis communications plan. We feel more confident, more prepared, and far more strategic in how we think about risk, response, and reputation management. I would highly recommend this program to any organization looking to strengthen its crisis readiness.”

— Chris, senior manager, communications

“This course exceeded my expectations. Kathryn and her team brought an incredible depth of experience and insight. It was clear we were learning from someone who has navigated complex, high-stakes situations and who understands the theory and the nuance of crisis response and communications. The guest speakers were also inspiring -- each one was a seasoned professional who generously shared their perspectives and lessons learned. The deep-dive assignments were what I found particularly valuable. Doing the work pushed me to apply what I was learning and to think critically about response strategy, stakeholder trust, and long-term reputation. I feel more confident and better equipped to lead in moments that truly matter.”

— Maria, Communications advisor

“This is a great course! It was incredibly valuable to hear from so many amazing guest speakers and learn from their unique experiences.”

— Aysha, Communications lead

“This course teaches you a great structure for crisis communications. The assignments are very useful for organizations and require you to consider things you likely haven't considered previously. The guest speakers are wonderful and go over a wide range of case studies. There is an opportunity for questions and help when needed.”

— Carly, pr & communications manager

“Kathryn provided foundational knowledge for media interactions, followed by real-world on-camera practice that is so relevant and practical! I highly recommend.”

— LUCIE, VICE PRESIDENT

“I just finished an all-day media training session with Kathryn and it was brilliant. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her before and she really knows her stuff. We covered a lot, from preparing for interviews and clarifying key messages, to holding statements, crisis questions, and staying calm on camera. The role-playing was super valuable, and it was great to work with a fantastic cohort. I left feeling more confident and much better prepared for media interactions. Highly recommend!”

— HARJ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
