Reputation management
Reputation is the most valuable capital companies, communities and individuals in prominent roles have. Reputation is what can lift us up but also knock us down, which is why it must be actively managed. The work is long term, and reputation cannot be created, maintained or saved with campaigns. You have to earn your reputation; it is a strategic point and part of leadership. Reputation is based on a realistic self-image in addition to the opinions of key stakeholders.
I will help you identify your strengths and development targets, and find tools for reputation management. Together with you, I will create a communications strategy that will get you through storms. I will come up with ways in cooperation with you to manage your reputation in practice in earned media, for instance. I will also come to your aid if you need to put out fires. Because those may happen too.
Public affairs
Decision-making has fragmented. The earlier you can affect any expected changes, the better the outcome. Predicting and identifying weak signals play a key role. Smart decision-makers find information to back up their decisions from as many sources as possible, which is why you should make noise about yourself. Don’t hide your lightunder a bushel, but remember that honesty is always the best policy.
I will help you reach the key decision-makers for your topic. I will knock on doors on your behalf and support you in finding the right words for your needs. I will do background research and analyse the climate. I will walk by your side or watch your back, whatever suits you best.
Crisis communications
Anticipating crises is always great wisdom, but preparing is not always enough. When you are in the midst of a crisis, you must react and build a way out fast. Conflicting crumbs of information and changing messages only aggravate the crisis; consistency and an open approach alleviate the impact. Crises are not signs of weakness or failure – anyone can come across one. Tackling a crisis may lead to good changes, including a new start.
I will help you find the right words to get out of a crisis. Together with you, I will think of the perfect tools for any possible upcoming crises. I will, in cooperation with you, create steps to a brighter future where crises are the best learning opportunities. My coaching and mentoring is result-oriented.
