“Very informative. Great class, made you think.”

“I work in communications, and this served as a very thorough refresher of crisis communications. Great content with both review material and new items to learn”

“Lots of information I would have never known.”
 
“Great! They will be very useful, I would think, in times of crisis — particularly, in helping craft the “alert” message to leadership so that they actually “hear” you. I wish I had had access to documents like these sooner–love the matrix!”

“Very detailed information that broke down the components of each important term and gave some great examples. It included a comical side with the animations & gave some real scenarios that people could relate to.”

“This course is relevant to my job and everyday life challenges.”

“Very applicable, particularly for local governments. This would be great required training for all elected officials.”

“I really enjoyed the curriculum and do feel like I learned a lot — in a very practical and applicable manner.”
