This week’s PR discussion question was, “What’s the best way to write a crisis communications plan?” Writing a crisis communications plan can be daunting, and look like a task too big to tackle. Even the best public relations professionals and corporate communications professionals can really struggle to write an effective crisis communication plan. That’s why we often see so many companies using a plan that they found online. We have seen these crisis plans fail, or even worsen the crisis, in some of the most tragic events in our history, such as in school shootings. The problem is, these plans are not nearly thorough enough to protect your brand, reputation, and revenue in a crisis.
Now that the experts have weighed in on social media, we want to hear if you agree with their tips. Comment here and on our social media pages to join the discussion. Your colleagues and companies across the globe could benefit.

Does practice make perfect? Does effective media training help spokespeople to ditch such distracting fillers? How can you tell if you are unconsciously using them? How many “ums” is too many?
Talking to the media can be intimidating, especially because your brand, reputation, and revenue are at stake. Even the best spokespeople, public relations professionals, and CEOs can really struggle to do effective media interviews. It can be difficult not to use verbal fillers such as “um,” “uh,” and “like” in our everyday language and public speaking, let alone when talking to the press. So, this week, crisis communication expert Gerard Braud asked social media, “How can you stop saying “um” in a media interview?”

Corporate communications professionals, public relations spokespeople, and senior level executives must be trained on how to effectively speak to the media. Media training is crucial for company spokespeople to maintain or improve their organization’s brand, reputation, and revenue. So, why do so many media interviews go so wrong? What can a spokesperson do to correct their mistake? Should they correct it right there on the spot? Or should they do a follow-up interview after consulting with a PR expert?
This week, crisis communications expert Gerard Braud polled social media to ask, “What should you do if you are in the middle of a television interview and you know you’ve said something wrong?” In today’s video, we are featuring tips from our social media followers and crisis communication experts.
