This episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast is dedicated to setting you up for the future of your comms career.

In fact, we've brought in an expert in all things professional communication with the real-life experience of teaching our new communicators on how to adapt to the professional world ahead of them: Ross Monaghan.

Ross Monaghan is a strategic communications lecturer at Deakin University and chair of the IABC Asia Pacific region, with a passion for discussing the dynamic nature of the communications profession. Ross shares his journey from journalism to academia and various roles in the mobile telecommunications industry, alongside what exact factors he believed helped him thrive in each area.
 
Key discussion points include the evolving skills needed for communicators, the importance of embracing new technologies like AI, the significant shifts in communication practices, and the role of professional communicators in internal and external organisational success.

In summary: we asked Ross to elaborate on what skills he thinks we, as comms pros, need to develop for the future - alongside what new comms pros will need for theirs. So... why wait? Jump in!
