  • PRSA Connect 18 - show #2

    And we're back with the next episode from my live keynote at PRSA Connect 18. At this year's event, the amount of workshops doubled due to the interest and I was fortunate to interview two of the workshop leaders Angela Sinickas and Ann Melinger. 

    Angela, the CEO of Sinickas Communications, led a workshop about how to get listeners to listen to us. . . and yes, we can. Ann Melinger is the CEO of Brilliant Ink and her workshop was all about how communicators can benefit from hackathons in the business. 

    Two great comms and business minds sharing their ideas for you.

  • PRSA Connect 18 - show #1

    I hope some of you haven't forgotten about me. It's been a bit of a journey back to ICology but producing this episode rekindled some of the passion. Thanks to those of you who kept asking about it and encouraging me to produce episodes again. 

    I needed a break. But break time is over. 

    At PRSA Connect 18, I was the closing keynote and conducted a live episode of ICology. This is the first of four episodes related to the event. 

    Enjoy.
