Manage YOUR Message

Crisis planning, leadership coaching, and high-impact communication – when it matters most.

For more than three decades, Tara Goodwin has been the behind-the-scenes guide leaders rely on when the stakes are highest. She has helped hundreds of organizations – from Fortune 500 companies to mission-driven nonprofits – prepare for, navigate through, and recover from their most challenging moments.

Her book, Manage the Message, Change the Outcome, distills the frameworks she uses in her crisis workshops, keynotes, and executive coaching sessions. Tara gives leaders the tools to think clearly under pressure, communicate with confidence, and avoid the costly missteps that turn unresolved business problems into full-blown crises.

    She brings a unique blend of strategic insight, media fluency, and emotionally intelligent coaching that empowers leaders to:

    • Recognize crisis patterns early – before they escalate.
    • Build internal crisis teams that know how to assess risk and act decisively.
    • Communicate with authority and empathy across all stakeholders groups.
    • Craft clear, values-driven messages that protect reputation and strengthen trust.
    • Prepare for real-world scenarios through live simulations, tough-question drills, and backwards-planning exercises grounded in her book’s methodology.

    With a deeply trusted nationwide network of specialists – from legal to cybersecurity to operational risk – Tara can quickly assemble the right team of experts when clients need it most.

    Leaders don’t come to Tara for theory. They come for clarity, direction, and a calm, steady partner who helps them rise to the moment. She equips executives with the mindset and muscle memory needed to manage their message – because the way you communicate in crisis doesn’t just influence the outcome. It defines it.

    Before I engaged Tara’s services, there were a handful of stories written about our 100-year old family business, but nothing that lived up to the hard-earned reputation we had in our industry. Within the first year, we were featured in The Wall Street Journal, received significant local and trade publication coverage and last fall, our operations were covered on Channel 5’s Made in Massachusetts series. Her writing skills are exceptional, and her crisis training has been invaluable to us, especially now. But what impresses me most of all, is that she’s always available to help – whether it’s crafting story ideas, communicating to our team or marketing our products in a 100-degree heatwave alongside us, she has become part of Catania Oils’ extended family.

    “A catastrophic accident happened in the City of Boston with one of our trucks several years ago. A first responder went on television and said that the vehicle was last serviced at my company’s shop. Tara was my first call. She worked quickly with my team to get all the facts and while it was true that the truck was last serviced by us, the accident was caused by a brake failure. Our company does not service brakes on any vehicle that we sell. Tara set up more than 30 media interviews and wrote statements for me so that we could get our response out quickly. Years later, five companies were sued as a result of that accident but our company was not among them. She saved us millions of dollars by her strategic, rapid response.”

    – Tim O., CEO, Truck Manufacturing Company

    “I hired Tara nearly a decade ago when we first started our real estate company, Benoit Mizner Simon & Co. A trusted advisor who was with us every step of the way from start-up to the acquisition, Tara helped elevate our brand by consistently showcasing our experience, market knowledge, and competitive advantage through a variety of mediums. Whether preparing us for interviews, orchestrating special events, or cheering us on for our many awards, several of which she helped us win, Tara’s drive, dedication, and creativity is unmatched and appreciated.”

    – Debi Benoit, former principal of Benoit, Mizner, Simon & Co. and Senior Vice-President, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty
