My colleague Karen Heinold and I had the pleasure of
serving as instructors to 30 maritime officers from countries spanning the
world last week at the International Maritime Officers School at the U.S. Coast
Guard training center in Yorktown, Va.
For three full days, we taught the basics of interacting
with media, messaging and bridging techniques, and the principles of risk
communication.
In addition to our communications course, these officers receive an in-depth overview of U.S. Coast
Guard organization, planning and management of its missions during their multi-week stay in the
United States.
At the close of our course, students graciously shared
compliments and kind words of gratitude for the experience. We're equally grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the group and are eager to see
our graduates put their skills to good use in the future.
