The Unexpected Crisis With Greg Henning

Apr 6, 2021

We are excited to be joined by Greg Henning in today’s episode. Greg has worked in the District Attorneys’ office and has had an outstanding educational career. He was also a member of the Homicide Response Team and Chief of the Gang Unit. Now, he runs a very different company at Henning Strategies and works on crisis management and legal strategies for people who are in trouble. Talk about an impressive resume! In this episode, Greg discusses the kind of services his firm offers under the Critical Incident niche, avoiding critical incidents, the art of public apology, and what he has learned throughout his career.

In This Episode:

  • [01:43] Meet Greg Henning and how his career as a prosecutor inspired him to put up his firm.
  • [03:00] Definition and examples of Critical Incidents.
  • [06:37] Greg shares what is unique when it comes to the demographic of affluent individuals and critical incidents.
  • [09:00] Letting clients understand the implications and permanency of the internet.
  • [16:37] The art of public apology.
  • [18:41] Greg shares what he has learned throughout his career.
  • [25:27] Greg offers some advice for professionals or family members experiencing critical crises or incidents.

Key Takeaways:

  • Critical Incidents span the spectrum of personal issues, company issues, mental health, safety, well-being issues, and homicide response.
  • Affluent individuals have additional issues that a typical person may not which makes them a bigger target.
  • Understanding that there are implications and crafting something that can address media inquiry while not getting your client in legal hot water are both critical steps to a public apology.
  • Each city, community, or neighborhood is different. Plan out your case, your strategy, your investigation, and think in a diversified way because it’s not one size fits all.
  • Think about legal and financial security as insurance rather than rapid response.
