Each month, Melissa answers your crisis ready questions.

This month’s question comes from Bridget… and, in fact, Bridget had a handful of really great questions that Melissa got to provide responses to. Here’s a sampling of what these questions were:

“Is crisis management different from industry to industry?”

“What is the best way to manage controversial issues that spark heated emotion within a subset group of stakeholders?”

“Who should be a part of the issue management team, when an incident doesn’t need to escalate straight through to leadership?”

This discussion explores:

  • Strategic ways to successfully manage controversial viral issues.
  • The power of banking goodwill and trust prior to experiencing an issue or crisis.
  • Strategies of response when your hands are tied and you are not legally able to share information.
  • Where the crisis management nuances lie and how to be prepared for all forms of incidents.
  • A look at how to make your crisis management governance structure scalable across all forms of issues and crises.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
