Nine hours of advanced crisis communication and leadership training — live, virtual, and built for today's reality.
The world is shifting fast.
AI is reshaping how crises start, spread, and escalate. Trust between organizations and their audiences has fundamentally changed. And the pressure on communicators and leaders to get it right in real time has never been higher.
This August, Melissa Agnes is running a Summer Intensive: three live sessions, three hours each, over two weeks. The most current, advanced thinking on crisis communication and crisis leadership available today.
This program will teach you the mindset, skills, and capabilities that will enable you to own your narrative and deepen trust, connection, and brand equity when it matters most... and when it's most challenging to do so.
Enroll now and gain instant access to world-class strategies and tactics.
Session 1 — August 4 | Leadership Resonance & Communicator Power
Before you ever open your mouth in a high-stakes moment, you're already communicating. In this session, we work on amplifying your leadership resonance, the quality that creates deep psychological safety in the people around you and magnifies your power and presence as a communicator and leader from the very first moment. This is the work that changes how people receive you, trust you, and follow you when it matters most.
Session 2 — August 6 | The Crisis Ready Formula, Evolved
Validate. Relate. Prove. The framework that's guided organizations through their hardest moments for nearly two decades, now enhanced for today's fractured trust environment and more skeptical audiences. Real examples. Real application. Direct practice on scenarios you're likely to face, with direct application into your team and business.
Session 3 — August 11 | AI & the New Crisis Landscape
AI is reshaping crisis communication in ways that are both a threat and a genuine opportunity... and most organizations are navigating it blind. We cover what AI is changing, the risks you need to get ahead of, and how to use it as a strategic advantage. If your crisis thinking doesn't account for where AI is taking us, this session alone is worth the price of the intensive.
