Four internal comms Thinkers joined me on this episode to discuss Deloitte's recent report on employee recognition - The Practical Magic of Thank You. We discuss some of the report's findings, as well as the role internal communicators play in employee recognition. This episode's Thinkers are....

If internal comms is your passion, ICology is your podcast. 

In this episode of ICology, I talk with Jenni Field, Director at Redefining Communications, and Benjamin Ellis, CEO of SocialOptic, about 2019 research they conducted into remote workers and internal communication. The two of them combined their superpowers to unearth some new data on what employees are interested in and who they are interested in hearing it from.

This wasn't exactly what I planned with the new Think Tank episodes but I went with it anyway. Today's "Wayfair Walkout" should be watched closely by internal communicators. Could something like this happen at your business? Absolutely. So what will you do when it happens? That's what you need to answer. Listen to my take on what internal communicators should be doing in case you have your own #wayfairwalkout. 

Pinaki Kathiari has become a true friend to the internal communications industry. And I'm proud to have him on ICology to talk about the challenges and opportunities of co-creation in internal communication. What is co-creation? Listen to the episode and find out how it can help communicators across industries and seniority levels. Pinaki is also once again a workshop leader at PRSA Connect this year. At last year's conference, his workshop was the highest-rated session from the entire event. And I expect nothing short of that again this year. 

If internal comms is your passion, ICology is your podcast. Listen in. 

It truly was hard to believe but the last time Rachel Miller was on ICology was to talk about Brexit. . . nearly 3 years ago! But she's back, but not talking about Brexit - even though the rest of the world is. Rachel Miller, the founder of All Things IC and knower of all things internal communications, is back to talk about how communicators can build a stronger personal brand inside their own companies. It's a topic she's passionate about and will be addressing as the opening keynote at this year's PRSA Connect 19 conference this May. #prsaconnect

Pleased to be joined by Simon Wright, Director at Gatehouse, to discuss a brand new report they produced. For years, they've been sharing an annual State of the Sector report that focuses on internal communication. But in 2018, they had an increased participation from North American communicators and so Gatehouse produced a special report for just North America. It's interesting to hear what the differences are between communicators in North America and other parts of the world. 

On July 24, I was a guest speaker at the IC Pro Retreat in Cincinnati. But this was a different speaking engagement than my normal ones. In this one, Sara Jackson, VP at Cerkl, interviewed me about ICology and podcasting for internal communications. For the first time, the tables were turned. I get to share my ICology journey and a bit about the promise of companies and communicators using podcasting to tell their own internal stories. I hope you enjoy episode 1 of 2. 

This is the last of the official episodes from PRSA Connect 18. For this one, I interviewed two of the more highly rated speakers from the event - Angee Linsey and Tarek Kamil. Niether are day-to-day internal communicators but both bring fresh thoughts and ideas to the industry and the profession. 

It was an honor and privilege hosting the closing keynote at the event. And something I'd love to do again at another event. . . hint, hint. 

Welcome to the third episode from my closing keynote at PRSA Connect 18. It's pretty simple to figure out who to talk to if they are a workshop leader or speaker. But this is a fun one because it features three attendees who stood out at the event. 

In this episode, you'll hear from Erica Goodwin, Andrea Parrish and Randy Berger. Enjoy.
