You may be aware that I have been hosting, on my blog, a few interview series – on internal communications, personal branding and corporate social responsibility. The Internal Communications Spotlight Series is an offshoot of the long-running interviews with practitioners. In the Spotlight Series, I conduct shorter and focused interviews on topics related to internal communications. From consultants to academics, I invite perspectives from all over the globe to reflect on trends, best practices, research insights and practical wisdom to help communicators succeed at work and beyond.
Below are the topics I have covered and the wonderful people I have spoken with. This content will come in handy when:
- You teach a communications course
- Influence your leaders
- Engage in a workshop
- Build a case
- Educate your team
- Seek consensus
Please do let me know if you find these resources are useful.
