S2 Episode 3: What the corporate world can learn from how the Navy manages a crisis, with Sheena Thomson

November 19, 2021 • Vicki Marinker/Sheena Thomson • Season 2 • Episode 3

In this episode I talk with Sheena Thomson, an expert in international relations, reputation and crisis management, who started her communications career with the Royal Navy, about what the corporate world can learn from how the Navy manages a crisis.

We discuss:

📣 Being thrown into the deep end, handling crisis communications for the Navy

📣 How to keep a rational head when all around you are losing theirs

📣 What constitutes a corporate crisis, and if it’s ever as bad as what happens at sea

📣 Rescuing a disastrous press trip and ensuring journalists got their story

📣 An incident with a dead parrot and pretending to be Anneka Rice
