This immersive workshop helps elected officials and CAOs (City / County Mangers and Administrators)  understand how modern platforms shape perception, why online conversations can distort priorities, and how proactive communication builds trust more effectively than constantly reacting.

Participants leave with:

• A clearer understanding of today's social media landscape
• Practical strategies for reducing reactive decision-making
• How to build trust before issues arise
• A roadmap for the elected official's role in creating more positive, proactive community engagement
• Dealing with "no-win" scenarios (using FLOCK ALPR and Data Centers to illustrate)
• How to reduce tension and collaborate productively between leadership and staff using social media as a bridge to better internal dynamics
• How to leverage new technology to dispel misinformation swirling around on social media.  

The result is a healthier relationship with social media, stronger internal alignment, and a more confident approach to community communication.

Leading Above The Noise is a two-day intensive designed for elected officials (it includes Leadership Training), executive leadership teams, and department heads who want to create a healthier, more intentional relationship with social media.

Whether your organization is looking for a starting point or a much-needed reset, this program provides the strategic framework and shared understanding to move forward with confidence.

Through a series of facilitated workshops, we'll explore how social media shapes public perception, influences decision-making, and increasingly informs how artificial intelligence answers questions about your community.

Together, we'll uncover gaps in alignment between elected officials and staff, establish shared principles, and define a community-specific identity that forms the foundation of a modern, proactive social media strategy.

New for 2027: AI Source of Truth Training

Artificial intelligence is changing how residents learn about their communities, whether local government is ready or not.

Our new AI Source of Truth training helps leaders understand how AI platforms find, interpret, and present information about their community, why social media has become an important source of that information, and what local government can do to ensure its own voice is the authoritative answer.

At the conclusion of the program, we'll deliver a practical set of recommendations tailored to your organization, along with a complimentary six-month subscription to CivTruth, our new AI-powered platform designed to help local governments fight back against misinformation, establish authoritative sources of truth to counter social media noise, and transform verified information into short, accessible videos that answer residents' questions and strengthen your community's  GEO visibility (AI-powered search).

Leading Above The Noice Includes:

• Everything from Leadership Training plus... 
• Alignment between elected officials and management
• Shared expectations on implementing proactive approaches 
• Deeper dive into navigating public pressure and online criticism
• A voice on social media that feels authentic and consistent rather than defensive or invisible  
• A practical platform strategy aligned with your resident profile and goals
• A healthier balance between responsiveness and leadership
• An understanding of where AI gathers information to answer questions from your residents (tailored to your organization)
• A new, custom built software tool to fight back against misinformation.
