OUR SERVICES
Communications ASSESSMENT
Many organizations have emergency plans, but few have a clear communication strategy for when something goes wrong.
Our Communications Assessment evaluates an organization's current communication approach and prepare leadership teams for high-stakes situations, such as critical incidents, internal investigations, media scrutiny, reputation challenges, or every day moments requiring clear leadership communication.
Through a structured review of existing plans, processes, and messaging, Hartwood Communications identifies gaps and provides tailored recommendations to strengthen communication strategy and crisis preparedness.
Organizations walk away with a clear understanding of their communication risks and a practical roadmap for strengthening both day-to-day communication and readiness for high-pressure situations.

training + workshops
Crisis communications training prepares executives and teams to communicate effectively under pressure through workshops, simulations, and speaking engagements built around real-world scenarios.
Sessions are tailored to the types of high-visibility situations organizations are most likely to face, helping leaders think through communication decisions before they are forced to make them in real time.
Participants learn how to deliver clear leadership messaging, navigate media attention, and communicate with confidence when information is limited and the stakes are high. Through practical exercises and guided discussion, teams gain the tools and clarity needed to lead communication during complex situations.
Organizations leave with stronger leadership preparedness, clearer communication frameworks, and greater confidence in their ability to respond when communication matters most.
