Training
dovetail solutions has conducted many trainings over the years for our clients serving in a wide-range of industries and verticals. The trainings we offer are tailored to our client’s specific need: perhaps you find yourself in front of the media or other important audiences, your employees require coaching for how to talk about the organization or company, or you simply need a plan for how to move forward. Whichever the training may be, dovetail solutions is committed to the success of any one of these with our clients.
Relationship Development Training
Many professionals think that Relationship Development is similar to networking, but they are actually quite different. Networking is more of a surface-level introduction focused on quantity, with the exchange of business cards and handshakes. Relationship Development is a continual focus on value exchange. Business relationships with the right people are more important now than ever before. And we aren’t talking about social media connections or close friends. We are referring to the value-exchange relationships with a handful of business and community leaders in your market.
Media Relations Training
Talking with the media doesn’t come naturally to everyone, particularly when navigating unexpected questions and speaking in front of a camera. dovetail solutions provides media training through a one-time session with an NBC Emmy-award-winning anchor who uses a unique curriculum to help leaders make the most of their time with the media.
Communications Training
Every organization and its team members should be able to clearly articulate its core mission and values and read from the same script. Business communication skills are absolutely essential in every professional environment and through our training we will hone in on topline messaging, goals and objectives.
Crisis Training
Crises are incidents that threaten the integrity or reputation of an individual or company. Broadly defined, a crisis/emergency situation can be described as any incident where: human life is threatened, public health or environment is threatened, a serious accident has occurred, employees have been critically injured, killed or kidnapped, a hostage situation, or work stoppage, etc. The incidents can range from typical events affecting all types of organizations to industry-specific challenges. The goal in addressing and managing any crisis is to respond quickly and minimize the damage. This training guides the individual or company through the most critical phase – the first 24 hours of the incident – and then through a more expansive and targeted plan, tailored to specific factors and how they can be developed and implemented.
