Rethinking Reputation is the afternoon session of the Te Tau Ihu Professional Development Day. This course is a dynamic, in-person session crafted specifically for senior leaders in public relations, communication, business and the public sector. During the interactive session you'll gain practical strategies to anticipate and mitigate reputational risks, ensuring your organisation remains resilient and trusted in a rapidly shifting world.

The webinar, led by Dr. Andrew Chen, will focus on challenges to the integrity of our information ecosystem - if we can no longer trust the veracity of information, what can we trust? Andrew will discuss a case study, the characteristics of misinformation and why it spreads, and some simple concepts that can help us collectively identify and resist misinformation.

Join us for an exclusive event to hear from three senior and accomplished communications leaders based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, who'll share their thoughts and insights on the evolving nature of our profession and what lay ahead beyond 2024.

New to public relations and ready to build your future career? Then this course is for you. Specially designed for new or recent entrants, the four online sessions cover the fundamentals, the expectations, the tools, the settings – and, most important of all – the ethics of practice. We also look to the future to help you stay informed (and able to dazzle your colleagues with insights when you get back to the office).
