Listen Later

In this episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast, we dive into one of the trickiest parts of being a communicator: managing challenging relationships with stakeholders who just don’t get it. 

Whether it's clashing with HR, navigating gatekeeping internal comms teams, dealing with leaders who think they know best, or trying to manage change in a project where everyone expects comms to do all the heavy lifting—we address it all, and we share all the practical, tried-and-tested techniques to help you shift from frustration to influence.

Tune in if you're tired of battling egos, getting overlooked, or being undervalued as a comms pro, this episode is packed with strategies that will help you reframe the conversation and earn your seat at the table.
