NSPRA Academy: Solo Communicator track

Module 1: Thursday, January 14, 2027 (1 - 3 p.m. ET, Virtual): Managing the Work When You Are the Team

When you're the communications department, every request can feel urgent and every responsibility falls to you. This session focuses on managing the work strategically by identifying priorities, making intentional decisions about where to invest your time, and creating a sustainable approach to the role. Participants will explore practical strategies for evaluating requests, balancing proactive and reactive work, setting expectations with leadership, and protecting time for the communications work that matters most. Whether you're new to a solo role or have been doing it for years, this session will help you move from constantly reacting to intentionally leading your workload.
