Talking Internal Communication...

Happy birthday blog!

I just realised that, as of yesterday, I’ve been blogging (albeit on and off) for three whole years. During that time I’ve covered a wide range of subjects relating to internal communication, change and employee engagement – and a few others to boot. I like to think I’ve been a bit provocative from time-to-time and have shared some wise counsel and the occasional pearl of wisdom. But I’ll let you decide that. If you’re new to the Talking IC blog why not take a few minutes to scan through the archives – there are some really interesting bits and pieces in there (if I say so myself ;-)). Now I’m off for cakes and candles… 

Cheers!

Public sector engagement – useful US data

Stumbled upon this nice post from executive coach Scott Eblin in the US on leadership communication. What’s good about it is that it contains some interesting employee data from the bi-annual Best Places to Work in the Federal Government study – which will be of particular interest to those of you in Government and public sector comms.

Free CIPR Inside event – an evening with Viral Change author Leandro Herrero

Hot off the press… I’m delighted to announce the latest event from CIPR Inside – an audience with Leandro Herrero, who I rate one of the world’s leading thinkers on change.

The session will take place at GAM (20 King Street, SW1) in London at 1800-2000 on Tuesday 16 June.

During this special one-off session, Leandro will outline the key tenets of VIRAL CHANGE™ and answer your questions. This will be followed by networking drinks where you’ll get to meet, amongst others, Leandro and members of the new-look CIPR Inside Committee.

Even better, this is a FREE event – but you’ll have to move quickly to secure your place as numbers are strictly limited.  Email CIPRInside@googlemail.com today.

Here's the full spec:
