Ace Your Planning!

Are you working on PR and comms plans for the coming year? Or waiting for clients or stakeholders to get on with theirs?

Either way, this session with Emma Ewing and Madeleine Little will give you a head start on getting your planning in the bag.

Developing Resilience

Emma Ewing introduces wellbeing specialist, Tammy Barter, to discuss practical tips and techniques to build your resilience.

Tammy's encouraging and energising talk will give you plenty of ideas for how to gain more "bouncebackability", how to refill your "resilience tank" and, more importantly, keep it topped up, so you go into 2024 on a high.

Your Shining Career

Are you doing yourself justice?

Whether you're in your first role in PR & comms or someone who's been in the field for decades, it's important to regularly reflect on your career to date and where you want it to go next.

Autumn is the perfect time to think about how you want to progress in your current role and consider the steps that will get you there.

Making Your Voice Work for You in PR

So many of us in the world of communications and public relations are having to make our voices work harder because of the sheer amount of video and in-person meetings we're taking part in.

Our guide to maximising our voices is Big Fish Training's Lorraine Forest-Turner, who is a voice and presentation whizz. She shares practical tips and exercises to help everyone improve.

How to Avoid the 5 Biggest Management & Leadership Mistakes

We've heard a LOT of war stories about people's managers over the years.

In this Lunch & Learn webinar, Big Fish founder Emma Ewing discusses the top five mistakes that almost every manager makes.

Imposter Syndrome: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Imposter syndrome drains our energy, hampers productivity, and holds us back from promotions and other opportunities.

In this webinar, Emma Ewing, a specialist in building workplace confidence, explores the positive aspects of imposter syndrome and how to leverage them. She delves into the negative aspects, and the systemic nature of imposter syndrome.

Dazzling the C-suite: the Business Acumen Advantage for Communicators

A Big Fish Training lunch-and-learn webinar with special guest, Gary Ross, president at Inside Comms and Emmy-nominated broadcast journalist, sharing tips on becoming known as a key strategic communicator and trusted advisor.

ChatGPT & Crisis Comms: How to Make the Most of AI in a Crisis

"As a profession, public relations is in danger of missing the AI boat. We are too conservative."

What a striking comment by Philippe Borremans during our webinar on AI and crisis communications!

And the best way to avoid missing the boat? Learn how to use it.

Using AI as Your Writing Assistant

Agency leader Claire Lamb joins Emma Ewing of Big Fish Training for this session to give her insights on how her team has been using ChatGPT IRL!

How to use AI to create headlines for press releases, articles and blogs, summarise news angles to use in press pitches, create more effective emails to clients and stakeholders, ... and more!

Managing Boundaries for Success in 2023

"Good fences make good neighbours."

I love this quote.

For me, it encapsulates why boundaries are important. Not just to stop the kids next door from accidentally trampling the daffodils when they come in to get their ball back. But, in a professional context, to ensure that everyone knows where their responsibilities begin and end.
