Crisis as Catalyst
Managing the Storm and Driving the Recovery
Every brand, every nonprofit, every company will face a PR crisis at some point. It's not if, but when.
A crisis isn’t automatically a disaster. Handled correctly, it can actually become a turning point — and even an opportunity.
This keynote reframes crisis as an opportunity for clarity, leadership, and strategic storytelling. Linda reveals the mindset, frameworks, and communication strategies that allow brands to emerge stronger, more trusted, and more aligned than ever before.
