Fallston Group principal and crisis management expert, Rob Weinhold will be leading a half-day presentation on crisis leadership and media training on September 25 as part of Junior Achievement’s Leadership Seminar Series.
The morning seminar for leaders and executives will emphasize the importance of crisis leadership, from understanding the implications of reputational risk, to strategic planning, communications and response. Weinhold will present leaders with the tactics necessary to minimize reputational damage among stakeholders during an issue of adversity or sensitivity. Attendees will gain hands-on experiential media training, learning how to respond to such issues in the court of public opinion through mock interviews and press conferences.
“Research shows that reputational risk is the number one concern of corporate executives today,” said Weinhold, principal of Fallston Group. “Our media training seminars are designed to offer leaders sound guidance and a realistic portrayal of what to expect while under media fire during a critical time.”
The Fallston Group, a crisis management and communications advisory firm recently led a riveting training session with Network2000, a nonprofit membership organization founded to promote the advancement of women in professional and executive positions. Fallston Group also hosts the well-known Media Boot Camp for Executives, an interactive day of training that improves the preparation, messaging and presentation skills of leaders who must be at the top of their game while in the court of public opinion. The thrice sold-out event gives participants a behind-the-scenes tour of a broadcast newsroom, a session on brand-building via the media, on-camera interviews with local media personalities, a media roundtable discussion, and post-interview analysis and critiques.
“I strongly advise leaders and executives in any industry to attend a presentation and training session by Fallston Group,” said Jim Workmeister, president of Premier Concrete, Inc. and past Media Boot Camp participant. “The tips, guidance and hands-on exercises offer an unparalleled training experience that can’t be found anywhere else. Rob’s extensive experience in front of and behind the camera bring a well-rounded perspective on media relations.”
The presentation will take place on September 25 from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Junior Achievement headquarters in Owings Mills. The session is part of Junior Achievement’s Leadership Seminar Series, a quarterly seminar for regional leaders and executives. Past seminar speakers have included Colleen McKenna, principal of Intero Advisory, and Chris McDonnell, president of McDonnell Consulting & Development, Inc. All proceeds from the Leadership Seminar Series support Junior Achievement’s financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship programs for local students. Seating for the seminar is limited.
