Communicators are struggling to keep up the pace of a crisis that seems never ending. Here are 5 ways to help you go the distance during this public health crisis.

Trusted Advisor

Step Away

Distance Yourself from Extraneous Noise and bad information and focus on trusted outlets and sources. 

Take a Break

Give you and your spokesperson and your team small but frequent breaks and listen to or participate in something that is unrelated to the crisis.

Course Corrections Prevent Whiplash

Taking small steps and little course corrections every day can prevent the exhaustion of major changes.
