Communications Tip of the Week
I've recently been thinking about how to better prepare each of you as you are put in the "hot seat" to be interviewed in crisis situations. This sheet (below) was shared at my conference last week and I love it! It's from Anthony Huey, Reputation Management Associates, who I heard speak several years ago. He's very good and sums up some great points, so please glance at it.
Here's a tip that was new to me: always stand for a TV interview. (I will tell you that a reporter will try to get you to sit, so I'm still working on placement on this one:)) But, if you stand, you are in a position of authority, you won't slouch and your interview will likely be shorter because everyone isn't as relaxed. This will help you stick to the main messages/points.
