Working with Leadership and Elected Officials
About this course
Nobody prepares you for the politics. The leader who rewrites your carefully crafted statement ten minutes before it goes out. The elected official who goes rogue on social media during an active incident. The executive who values communications when it goes well and blames it when it doesn't.
This course is about navigating those dynamics professionally, protecting your integrity, and building the kind of relationships with leadership that make your job — and their public profile — significantly better. Practical, honest, and grounded in the reality of government communications.
