5 Nonverbal Crisis Communications Tips

In a crisis situation, how you deliver your message can be just as important as the content of the message itself. Whether you're facing reporters eager to pepper you with questions, or a mob of angry customers seeking redress, every move you make will be scrutinized. Your physical presence can be an effective tool for communication, but if you don't pay attention to simple physical cues, you can sink your chances of getting through a crisis without even realizing it.

Here are some basic tips to keep in mind when acting as spokesperson for your brand during a crisis, courtesy of Leonard S. Greenberger, partner at Potomac Communications Group.

Maintain steady eye contact, whether your audience is one person or many. Any eye movement, up or down, side-to-side, sends a signal that you’re being dishonest or evasive.

Keep your hands visible and between your hips and shoulders. Don’t put them in your pockets or behind your back. In a high-concern, low-trust situation that signals discomfort and aggressiveness.

Try to remove barriers between you and your audience. Don’t sit behind your desk, or stand behind a podium. Even crossing your arms becomes a barrier and can make it harder to demonstrate empathy and honesty.

Dress conservatively. Crazy patterns and gaudy jewelry distract from what you’re saying. If you know what your audience will be wearing, dress at least as well, or one notch above.

Eat a banana. Yes, a banana. If you get nervous dealing with someone who’s angry and upset, the nutrients in a banana help calm your nerves. It may seem strange, but many performers swear by it.

Crisis Communication Plan: A PR Blue Print

A crisis is any situation that threatens the integrity or reputation of your company, usually brought on by adverse or negative media attention. These situations can be any kind of legal dispute, theft, accident, fire, flood or manmade disaster that could be attributed to your company. It can also be a situation where in the eyes of the media or general public your company did not react to one of the above situations in the appropriate manner.

If handled correctly the damage can be minimized. One thing to remember that is crucial in a crisis is tell it all, tell it fast and tell the truth. If you do this you have done all you can to minimize the situation.

The Crisis Communication Team

This team is essential to identify what actions should be taken. The team should be comprised of individuals who are key to the situation. They should include as a minimum the CEO, the chief of Public Relations, the Vice President, the Senior manager from the division in charge of the area that was involved in the situation that has brought about the crisis, the safety and/or security officer, the organization Lawyer, and anyone else who might be able to shed some light on the situation such as eye witnesses.

The job of this team is to come up with a plan of action and decide who the spokesperson should be.

A copy of the management recall roster should be attached and should include cellular phone numbers. Once the crisis communication team is selected a list should be made of the people on the team and what each team member is responsible for.

In addition to the crisis communication team the Public Relations or Communications department should be supplemented with competent people who can answer phones and if required escort media. Having calls from the media answered promptly is essential. As soon as possible a prepared statement should be given to this staff. This statement should be something such as "Facts are still being gathered but there will be a press conference before 4:00, give me your name and number and I will call you back to let you know when."

One of the first responsibilities of the crisis communication team should be to determine the appropriate positioning or message to address the emergency. This is where "Tell it all, tell it fast and tell the truth" begins. Keep in mind that people tend to remember what they hear first and last.
