Go to **[https://iapath.com](https://iapath.com/)*** If in any moment of crisis you need to call [**Olivia Pope**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Pope), you are not practicing risk management but crisis management. In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I speak with Lawanda Hall, a Risk Manager for a global automobile firm. We discussed how her passion for math and numbers lead her to a degree in risk management and how she went on to become a corporate risk manager. She discusses what it takes to become a risk manager, including how to sharpen your communication skills, which is a big part of properly communicating risk and risk prevention/mitigation throughout an organization. **CONNECT WITH LAWANDA HALL: ****[LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawandamichell/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawandamichell/)** **MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: [CPCU designation](https://www.theinstitutes.org/guide/designations/chartered-property-casualty-underwriter-cpcu) [AIC Designation](https://www.theinstitutes.org/program/associate-claims-aic) [ARM Designation](https://www.theinstitutes.org/program/associate-risk-management-arm) [Intelligent Intentions](http://intelligentintentions.com/)**** ****BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY LAWANDA: [The One Thing](https://amzn.to/2sDhU0u) by [Gary Keller](https://amzn.to/2JxZdoO) & Jay Papasan: [https://amzn.to/2sDhU0u ](https://amzn.to/2sDhU0u)[Influencer](https://amzn.to/2sQblXM) by [Kerry Patterson](https://amzn.to/2LyWp8r) & [Joseph Grenny](https://amzn.to/2JnMVfr): [https://amzn.to/2sQblXM ](https://amzn.to/2sQblXM)[Fictional Book by Nicholas Sparks: https://amzn.to/2xPU475 Mystery Books by Harlan Coben: https://amzn.to/2kXkNoV ](https://amzn.to/2xPU475)****[Books by Pearl Cleage: https://amzn.to/2kXlEWF ](https://amzn.to/2kXlEWF)****[Books by E.
