Event Overview
Who should attend
PR practitioners who wish to build trust with stakeholders in order to enhance communication, safeguard reputation, create loyalty – and build an asset to cope with the inevitable crisis.
What to expect
What does it mean to trust individuals and organisations? What are the different types of trust?
Why is trust good? Why is it wrong to say that distrust is bad? Why is mistrust always wrong? •
How can you earn, rather than manufacture, trust? How does this relate to your reputation?
Where do trust and communication meet? What are the practical implications?
Course objectives
Participation in the course will provide you with the knowledge to:
• define trust and identify the various types you require in successful PR
• distinguish trust from mistrust, distrust, reliance, and loyalty in your day-to-day work
• explore why trust underpins all aspects of public relations and how ethical practitioners use it
• investigate how trust and communication, in particular, depend on each other
• counter disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation in your work
• survive crises by substituting personal for impersonal trust (and vice versa) • draft a PR plan that focuses on better trust, not more trust – and earns, rather than manufactures, it.
