Mike Klein continues his conversation with Diana Bonczar, Co-Founder of Inko Club.

In today's episode, Diana shares her view on entrepreneurial opportunities for internal comms professionals today. One of those opportunities is scale-up companies that grew out of the startup phase. These fast-growing companies quickly start to feel the need for internal communications. There is one challenge, however. The role of internal communication in those companies is often substituted by people in marketing or HR that cannot provide quality and strategic communication support.

Diana Bonczar, Co-Founder of Inko Club, shares a piece of advice for all young professionals looking into communication career opportunities.

First of all, start with basics: join webinars, read free resources, connect with other comms professionals to get a sense of breadth and learn the vocabulary.

Then look for a junior role or internship in an international company that has an established internal comms function that you can learn from. That would allow you to see what good looks like and take that knowledge to the next level when you eventually change your career.
