Pandemic Protests & Leadership: Kym Geddes Coaches the Media Message

Speaking of Media ....with Keith Marnoch

The global pandemic has seen a shift in established norms of communication,
both through the channels and the messages we share.
There is currently a particular focus on leadership both corporate and political; as we all navigate previously uncharted waters.
We are at a place and time where many of the conventional constructs of mass communication are being challenged and - for better or worse - amplified.
As a communicator - how ready are you to succeed in that environment?
In this episode of ‘Speaking of Media’
- What Leaders need to think about when representing their stories and messages to the broader public.
- And also - how will leadership guide organizations
as we attempt to reach a state of endemic
and start living with Covid in the years to come.
Kym Geddes is our guest. She was news Director
at one of Canada‘s most listened-to radio news operations
and she is now combining her past experience with a new venture
- coaching leaders to communicate through the media - a perfect fit for this podcast.
Note: this particular show was recorded in mid-February 2022 – when trucker protests were dominating the news headlines in Canada…. But the discussion’s themes hold up … including what are the approaches that need to continue within your media relations strategies and which ones need to be adjusted?
…understanding that we’re in a new dynamic and fluid environment
I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with someone who truly knows both sides of the media microphone.
