Careful! “The communications” get blamed for all kinds of decisions not going down well. Comms aren’t a magic wand that make people like stuff they wouldn’t otherwise. Only weak leaders expect magic! @PRCA_HQ @CIPR_Global @CIPR_PA #CommunicationsProfessionalsArentWizards

When you compare successes, achievements, CVs or proposals, always remember this privilege. And ask what you might see if the compared lives were given equal access to it. Can you make that difference? #potential #growTalent

A bit late to the party, I started Ted Lasso. A bit of a joy. For all you C-suites, HR bods, internal comms champs and more - do you need some Ted in your life? linkedin.com/pulse/its-myse…

This matters to all of us-
Leaders must communicate that it’s OK not to respond to things in real-time, that it’s OK to decline meeting requests, that it’s OK to turn off notifications, and that it’s OK to not be online all day. s.hbr.org/3R7nLr4

Real problems arise for institutions when big broadcasters then use inaccurate Telegraph articles as primary source without fact-checking. Comms people, watch for this. I’ve had to kindly request the binning of a major political package on BBCR4 Today, created entirely this way.

Communications directors- you know you need each other, but the public often don’t see this, ‘cos professionalism often dictates silence. Great bit of Twitter openness from @CeliaRichards0n:

It’s so refreshing to read a politician setting out the differences between different kinds of public #engagement. I also completely agree about the impacts of treating the public like children. You can’t control trust- by definition. Earning it requires a degree of surrender.
