The Solo PIO: Systems, Survival, and Making Your Case

You are more common than you think. More than a third of government communicators work completely alone — handling everything from media relations and social media to crisis response and community engagement, with no one to hand anything to when it gets too heavy.

Most professional development assumes you have a team. This course doesn't. It's built specifically for the solo or near-solo communicator who needs practical systems, honest strategies, and someone who understands the reality of doing this job without backup.

It covers the infrastructure you need to build, the limits you need to document, the network that replaces the colleagues you don't have, and how to sustain yourself in a role that rarely gives you a break.
