Internal Comms Pro: The Podcast

Welcome to the Internal Comms Pro Webinar. In this series, we’ll be talking with the experts while celebrating the work that makes you an Internal Communicators Pro.

For the final episode of this mini-series, we decided to look at a bit of a different topic. You often see us covering topics that a well-oiled internal comms team would face, but what if your team isn’t that well-oiled? Maybe it’s a team of 1. Maybe it's a new position for you and you’re not sure where to start.

Our guests today, Corey Kachigan and Maria Rolling share advice for new teams, the tools available at your disposal, and how you can prove your value.

In the life of an internal communicator, talking with your higher-ups is nothing new. In fact, you’re often the one to spread important information on their behalf. Sometimes, a situation may come up where your boss just doesn’t have the right wording or completely misrepresents a situation. How can you help your boss understand the best way to talk to their employees?

Today we’re talking with Trudy Lewis and Jennifer Sproul about effective leadership comms, what the past few years have taught us about urgent communications, and how you can take charge with what you know and show your value to leadership.

It’s safe to say that crisis communications have been a hot topic. Countless examples of both good, but mainly not-so-good attempts of companies trying to communicate through a crisis are littered throughout social media. It might make you take pause and wonder if your company can handle the heat when a big change comes your way.

Today we’re talking with John Brown from DAT Freight and Analytics and David Oates from PR Security Service as they share how you can manage your own crisis comms plan and that it’s never too late to get one started.

Within the past couple of years, it’s safe to say that we’ve learned a lot in terms of what makes a company run smoothly in 2022. And while a lot of what we’ve covered this season may sound familiar to you, we’ve actually discovered yet another new angle to consider. Our guests for this week’s episode are no strangers to Internal Comms Pro. Steve and Cindy Crescenzo have been podcast guests for several seasons. Returning listeners will definitely remember their chemistry as they share their work with Crescenzo Communications, a consulting firm for communicators. Today, Steve and Cindy share their latest discoveries and how you might need to say “goodbye” to corporate communications as you know it.

It’s no secret that employee and company culture are big topics on the show. We fully believe that healthy work culture is necessary for producing your best work. We’ve talked to several guests already explaining culture from all different angles, and yet we’ve been able to find one more person who has a unique take. Today we’re chatting with Josh Levine, Author of the book “Great Mondays” and an Educator at the California College of the Arts. Josh shares his own research on where company culture stands today and how it affects the bottom line.

In our profession, We work with internal communications every day. However, in the midst of adjusting our strategies, we might be forgetting about having true interpersonal communication. Not just saying what someone wants to hear, but being honest and maybe even a little vulnerable with our words. Our guest for this week is Debra Roberts, President of the Relationship Protocol and a licensed clinical social worker. With her unique background, Debra shares the flaws she’s spotted in our current ways of communication, and the steps we can take to fix them.

The hybrid work environment. Yes, we’ve brought this up before in our past seasons, but it's still an issue companies are facing. Where in 2020 we may have been waiting for the day to go back into the office, now people don’t want to leave the company of their own homes. Some companies feel that the office culture is something that they shouldn’t get rid of, but what do they do when people aren’t coming in?

Today’s guest is Joseph Kimmey, Director of Client Experience at RCF Group. Joe shares his personal experience when it comes to redesigning space, and the role culture and collaboration play in it.

Workplace Culture. It's a term that you’ve probably been dealing with a lot lately. As companies continue to shift to a hybrid or remote work environment, you may still be struggling with adapting your work culture. What needs to stay and what needs to go? How can you tell what you’re doing is working? Our special guest for today is Sam Huber, Principal Product Designer at Cerkl. We discuss how the team at Cerkl stayed on their toes as they adapted their workplace culture into the digital era.
