Whatever your need, Trainer Bubble provides you with a comprehensive crisis management training course to make your life easy.

Course Topics:
<ul>
<li>Types of Crisis &ndash; An examination of the types of crisis that can befall an organisation with an activity that begins to identify the crisis that could be specific to the participant&rsquo;s organisation. This is an excellent starting point to help participants understand the potential for crisis within their organisation and what vulnerabilities there are.</li>
<li>Stakeholder Identification &amp; Analysis &ndash; Crisis management is all about keeping stakeholders informed and engaged while mitigating the impact of the crisis on them. This session helps identify who the stakeholders are, how they need to be kept informed during a crisis and mapping the relationship.</li>
<li>Crisis Prevention &ndash; The best way to manage a crisis is to avoid it altogether. This section covers the different audit reviews an organisation should make. It also provides a structured audit review checklist document and allows the participants to practice its use. Where an audit review document already exists, the participants will be encouraged to review their own version.</li>
<li>Crisis Planning &ndash; Participants are provided with a structured list of the contents of a full crisis planning document, which explains each requirement, what should be included and why. They are also tested on this knowledge through key questions aimed at their understanding.</li>
<li>Crisis Strategy Checklist &ndash; This is a key document that should be included in with the crisis planning documentation. We provide this and review how to use it and what the benefits are.</li>
<li>Crisis Response &ndash; When crisis occurs, it&rsquo;s imperative that employees know how to respond. This session looks at the key elements to an effective crisis response.</li>
<li>Demonstrating Credibility &ndash; Using a simple process to identify what to say and how to say it.</li>
<li>Dealing with the Media &ndash; A key set of considerations to make when dealing with the media and a review of the alternatives to talking to the media.</li>
<li>Internal Communication &ndash; A key element that is often overlooked. Employees are a key stakeholder and should be kept informed during a crisis. Here we explain how.</li>
<li>Creating a Crisis Message &ndash; Providing a full description of the methodology behind formulating a crisis message, followed by a chance to create their own crisis message and review its effectiveness.</li>
<li>Crisis Recovery &ndash; What to do after the crisis has abated. Identifying the damage, knowing what steps to take next and taking a post-crisis review. This document is provided and participants get the chance to review and practice with this.</li>
<li>Online Reputation Management &ndash; Managing damaging information provided over the internet, dealing with social media and its influence and managing online threats to your organisation.</li>
<li>Crisis Practice &ndash; Case Study &ndash; Bringing all the skills together in an exploration of the crisis management process through the eyes of an organisation that went through this. A chance for participants to test their knowledge, consider their approach and practice ideas in a safe environment.</li>
</ul>
As with all Trainer Bubble products, this training course is interactive and full of relevant activities.

In 2021 he became an associate literary agent, representing a growing list of clients across fiction and non-fiction, actively seeking books that are going to make a positive impact in the world in some way, big or small. His role as an agent at Curious Minds Literary Agency began in 2024. Before working in books, Eli was a research scientist designing and synthesising novel drugs (white coat and everything), and science books remain a particular passion of his. In 2022 he wrote and taught a HOW TO WRITE A PROPOSAL course, and in 2023 was elected treasurer of the Association of Authors&rsquo; Agents, and in 2024 he judged the inaugural Bloomsbury Academic Writing Fellowship. Eli specialises in helping academics, scientists and researchers to bring their area of expertise to the mass-market in authoritative, ideas-led books in the fields of smart science and current affairs.

A day of Data Governance, support, networking, and answering your questions<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">About this event</h2><div style="color: rgb(57, 54, 79); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(57, 54, 79);">

Are you responsible for implementing Data Governance? Are you expected to have all the answers?


 


It can be a scary position to be in, especially if you are new to the role, and even if you have done it before, what worked for the last organisation doesn&#39;t always work for the new one.


 


You can end up feeling lonely, vulnerable and frustrated. After all, you are trying to implement Data Governance to help your organisation - why is it turning out to be so difficult?!


 


You can spend hours on the internet or reading books but it can be challenging trying to turn the theory into something practical that will work for your organisation. If only you could fast forward to a few years&rsquo; time when you have done many more Data Governance initiatives and had a wider range of experience to fall back on.


 


If you don&#39;t have a time machine to help you with that, the other option is to build a network of experienced trusted peers who are willing to share the benefit of their experience with you. But that can be easier said than done. These days many networking events still aren&rsquo;t taking place and those that are are online and it&rsquo;s very hard to get a chance to speak let alone get advice for your challenges.


 


I can help you with that.


 


Why not join this 1 Day Data Governance Mastermind Workshop, where you get allocated time to get specific advice on your current Data Governance challenges and get the chance to network with others in similar situations.

Untangle your Data Governance issue and collaborate with your peers during this one-day Mastermind
Discuss Data Governance approaches with people who get it
Are you struggling with a Data Governance issue and wish you had a team of other Data Governance professionals you could bounce it around with?
You’ve done Data Governance training and you know what you’re focusing on. While your team is supportive, you spend a lot of time dealing with, and driving forward, culture change, managing stakeholders, and fielding questions from people who have their own priorities and now need to do this ‘Data Governance stuff’ on top. 
It would be nice, once in a while, to have a conversation about how to achieve something free from internal issues. You want to talk about best practices and get some alternative ideas.
That’s what my Data Governance Mastermind gives you: space to reflect with the support of your peers and practical solutions you can implement.
What is a mastermind?
Mastermind groups are the definition of ‘sharing is caring’. It’s you and your fellow peers – people who do what you do - gathering to brainstorm, problem solve, set goals and be each other’s support network.
At the Data Governance Mastermind, you will meet and learn from other people implementing Data Governance initiatives. 
It’s a one-day event, on Zoom. One of the benefits of attending is you’ll get 30 minutes in the ‘hot seat’ where you can share something you’re struggling with and get input from the group. 
What you can expect during the day
Discussions about different aspects of Data Governance and the opportunity to share what’s worked for you.
Tailored advice specific to your situation from me.
Insights from other people implementing Data Governance about what’s worked for them, what hasn’t worked, and how they have tackled issues.
30 minutes in the hot seat so you can share something you need help with and get practical suggestions from the rest of the delegates.
Time to reflect and share learnings from discussions so you have your key takeaways written down, ready to take back to work with you.
Get to know other Data Governance professionals and build a support network
Get an action plan and confidence to take your next steps with Data Governance
Get ready to discover new ways of approaching your Data Governance challenges, while getting to know professionals from a range of industries.
You will:
Get a clear action plan to take away with you to tackle your specific Data Governance issues.
Develop a wider network of supportive Data Governance professionals, people got your back and will be available to continue to network and ask advice or in the future.
Leave with the confidence that you're not alone in tackling these issues. There are other people going through similar experiences that are willing to help you out.
Is attending a Mastermind right for me? 
Every individual's Data Governance journey is unique. Take my scorecard to determine if my Mastermind programme is the right fit for you and will effectively support your specific needs. You can also find out more about the day on my website.

Laura is looking for a book you can&rsquo;t wait to talk to someone about, in the same way as a new film or the latest release on Netflix. A book that engrosses her from the first page to the last, desperate for someone she knows to read so they can discuss as soon as possible.It will always be an original hook that draws Laura in, a whole concept that can be summed up in one line that immediately stops her in my tracks and makes her think.Character and voice is also crucial. Laura is a huge fan of Mick Herron&rsquo;s Jackson Lamb, Richard Osman&rsquo;s Thursday Murder Club cast and Lynda La Plante&rsquo;s Jane Tennison. She would really love to see more strong, memorable women in crime. In bookclub fiction, voices that have stayed with her are Adduni in The Girl With The Louding Voice, Cyril in The Heart&rsquo;s Invisible Furies and Molly in The Maid. Recently, Kitty in How To Kill Men and Get Away With It had Laura secretly rooting for her serial killer antics.Laura loves to be engrossed by a pacy, twisty, surprising plot. It doesn&rsquo;t need to be overly complex &ndash; sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. She wants to be thrown curveballs she never saw coming and be kept guessing until the last page. Books Laura has devoured are Nightwatching, The Housemaid, The Last Mrs Parrish, Fourth Wing, None of This is True and&nbsp;American Dirt.Books that play with genre also capture Laura. Novels such as Wrong Place, Wrong Time which combined a crime mystery and the story of a mother&rsquo;s love with a speculative element and The Time Traveller&rsquo;s Wife, a high-concept love story which crossed time and age.Laura is a huge fan of true crime and would love to read a fiction version of podcasts she has been gripped by. She really enjoys cold cases being reopened as a result of new evidence or technology which exposes past injustices such as on Bone Valley, In The Dark or Who Killed Emma?&nbsp;She is particularly drawn to stories of deep deception or &lsquo;scams&rsquo; such as those by Anna Delvey or Coco Berthmann, Tinder Swindler or Fyre Festival.&nbsp;Laura is always intrigued by anything involving investigation into cults, such as in BBC Sound&rsquo;s World of Secrets.She also loves nothing more than sobbing her heart out over a book and being left emotionally wrung-out! Whether it be a devastating historical tragedy or star-crossed lovers torn apart by destiny. &nbsp;Books that have broken her heart include The Bridges of Madison County, The Kite Runner,&nbsp;The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Birdsong, My Sister&rsquo;s Keeper, Cilka&rsquo;s Journey&nbsp;and Four Winds.In non-fiction, Laura is looking for an untold story or perspective or an unexplored area where you have expertise or real-life experience. As a reader of non-fiction she wants to be &nbsp;engaged in a relatable, accessible way. She loved the evocative settings and personal journeys in The Salt Path&nbsp;and The Wild Other. The laugh-out-loud More Than A Woman had her ordering this for many friends. Three Women and Educated are brilliant examples of non-fiction books that read like fiction. The awe-inspiring Do No Harm stayed with Laura long after reading.&nbsp;Laura is not looking for poetry, novellas, screenplays, or children&rsquo;s books.Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Laura is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.&nbsp;Please email <a href="mailto:agent121@iaminprint.co.uk" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: inherit; cursor: pointer; user-select: auto; font-size: var(--font-size);" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: inherit; cursor: pointer; user-select: auto;">agent121@iaminprint.co.uk</a> to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the&nbsp;discretion of&nbsp;I Am In Print).&nbsp;By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with&nbsp;I Am In Print prior to the event.

Books that play with genre also capture Laura. Novels such as Wrong Place, Wrong Time which combined a crime mystery and the story of a mother’s love with a speculative element and The Time Traveller’s Wife, a high-concept love story which crossed time and age.
Laura is a huge fan of true crime and would love to read a fiction version of podcasts she has been gripped by. She really enjoys cold cases being reopened as a result of new evidence or technology which exposes past injustices such as on Bone Valley, In The Dark or Who Killed Emma? She is particularly drawn to stories of deep deception or ‘scams’ such as those by Anna Delvey or Coco Berthmann, Tinder Swindler or Fyre Festival. Laura is always intrigued by anything involving investigation into cults, such as in BBC Sound’s World of Secrets.
She also loves nothing more than sobbing her heart out over a book and being left emotionally wrung-out! Whether it be a devastating historical tragedy or star-crossed lovers torn apart by destiny. Books that have broken her heart include The Bridges of Madison County, The Kite Runner, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Birdsong, My Sister’s Keeper, Cilka’s Journey and Four Winds.
In non-fiction, Laura is looking for an untold story or perspective or an unexplored area where you have expertise or real-life experience. As a reader of non-fiction she wants to be engaged in a relatable, accessible way. She loved the evocative settings and personal journeys in The Salt Path and The Wild Other. The laugh-out-loud More Than A Woman had her ordering this for many friends. Three Women and Educated are brilliant examples of non-fiction books that read like fiction. The awe-inspiring Do No Harm stayed with Laura long after reading. 
Laura is not looking for poetry, novellas, screenplays, or children’s books.
Laura would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your completed manuscript in a single word document.
