The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), the sole manager of the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory, has selected Baker Communications to deliver Business Ethics and Media Training for its compliance team. CASIS had benefited from previous enrollment in a public training session by Baker, and enlisted Baker as a training partner in full confidence that Baker Communications could help their compliance personnel make well-considered ethical judgments and deliver information effectively, judiciously and professionally in any situation.
A Senior-Level Instructor and Business Ethics and Media Expert from Baker Communications will meet with the CASIS compliance team in Houston, Texas to deliver the workshop. Session attendees will learn about business ethics essentials, including how to overcome ethical dilemmas and the importance of taking ownership. Participants will also learn guidelines for working with the media, such as how to prepare a statement, the process of analyzing and handling questions, and delivery techniques. This unique workshop guides participants through targeted exercises, exploring a variety of ethical and media challenges and providing the skills to confidently and consistently make wise choices when handling ethical problems and when interfacing with the public and the media.
