Managing Crises and Leading Change

America's go-to guru for crisis management, Judy Smith - inspiration for the television drama "Scandal" - has worked behind the scenes to guide politicians, business executives, and celebrities through some of the highest-profile events of our time, including the impeachment of President Clinton, and the BP oil spill. In a provocative and informative dialogue with Dr. Shirley Davis Sheppard, SHRM's Vice President of Global Diversity & Inclusion and Workforce Flexibility, the real-life "Olivia Pope" will reveal lessons learned from these PR disasters, particularly the impact of collaboration, competition, and political savvy on personal and professional crises.
