Send a text

Destin Singleton joins us on the Leading in a Crisis podcast to unravel the complex dynamics of hosting high-profile figures at your organization. Imagine receiving a call from the White House with just 72 hours to prepare for a presidential visit to your facility. Destin takes us behind the scenes of her tumultuous experience managing a last-minute presidential visit at an oil refinery in 2017. We weigh the potential benefits against the significant risks of such high-stakes situations and explore how to brace for the unexpected when your company becomes the stage for a national spotlight.

Our conversation doesn’t stop there; we shift gears to dissect the art of large crisis exercises. Are you more inclined to "play to win" or "play to stretch your team"? Through Destin’s insights, we unpack these strategies as applied by leading multinational corporations. Whether you’re pondering the impact of social media influencers using your brand as a backdrop or refining your crisis management tactics, this episode promises to equip you with practical advice and thought-provoking perspectives. Join us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of hosting prominent guests and conducting effective crisis exercises.

If you would like any assistance with your crisis planning or training activities, including tabletop exercises or a case study to stimulate your team's preparedness, reach out to Tom, Marc or Destin.
