Is your public participation strategy prepared to handle a 'cancellation'?

In a world where outrage travels fast, and the list of organizations and individuals facing a so-called 'cancel culture' backlash grows longer, a crisis is likely no longer a matter of if - but when. This workshop offers an honest conversation about cancel culture and crisis communications; the good, the bad and the ugly.

How we tell our story, including how we communicate through crisis, can allow us to shift from a place of reaction and shame towards a mindset of accountability and meaningful change.

Through real-world examples, practice scenarios and group discussion, we'll offer tools to support any successful communications strategy, helping you recognize the power of communication to repair and reimagine a better future

Upon completion, participants will:

  • Understand why anticipating 'cancel culture' scenarios needs to be part of any crisis communications strategy.
  • Develop skills to navigate difficult conversations, offer a public apology, manage high-stakes communications.  
  • Learn to prioritize equity, diversity and inclusion in organizational structures and communications, how to evaluate current strategies and identify risks.
  • Know the steps that should be taken to be prepared.
  • Understand how to avoid the dangers of woke-washing and tone-deaf activism through real world examples. 
  • Be empowered to employ practical tools that can foster the authentic values necessary to support a successful communications strategy in a changing world.
