Navigating media requests? Smart leaders weigh the actual risks vs. perceived ones. Often, missed opportunities outweigh the downside. Listen to @warrenweeks on the Speaking of Media podcast #mediatraining #publicrelations #leadership #publicrelations #speakingofmedia

Silence won't fix a damaged reputation — it leaves the narrative incomplete. How you respond is what people remember. #mediatraining #prtips #PersonalBranding #ReputationManagement #onlinepresence

Leaders don't rise to the moment; they fall back on training. Media interviews are high-stakes, artificial environments. Train *before* you're under fire. #MediaTraining #Leadership

News is on "one track" these days. Are people even aware they're only getting one side of the story? Where do we go from here in trying to get a reasonable consideration of issues? #mediasavvy #mediatraining #mediarelations #newsbias #journalism

[Speaking of Media @MediaSpeaking]

News or agenda validation? Look for questions, not prompts. Sensational adjectives? "Is the setup so biased" you already know the angle? Critical viewing is key. #MediaLiteracy #CriticalThinking #mediatraining #mediarelations

Negative story about to drop? Silence isn't always golden. Assess the source, gauge impact, and act fast. Is it a minor rumor or a real threat? Pre-publish your version or respond swiftly with facts. Assess, decide, act. #CrisisComms #PublicRelations
