You cannot discuss internal communications these days without someone asking about the blurring of the line between internal and external. When done well, there has never been a clear boundary between internal and external, since they are designed to achieve common objectives. When strategized to work together, along with all facets of external communication, this is known as “integrated communication,” a system that coordinates and harmonizes messages from various senders and to various audiences. It is composed of rules (including policies, procedures, and formats) and tools (including distribution channels, styles, and timelines). How to make this work was the subject of an hour-long conversation on May 21, 2020,with four IABC Fellows: Priya Bates, Diane Gayeski, Angela Sinickas, and Stacy Wilson.Continue Reading → The post Circle of Fellows #57: Managing the Integrated Communication System appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

Roger joined four IABC Fellows and moderator Shel Holtz on March 19 for a conversation about bosses, their communication role, and how organizational communicators can help improve the culture of management in their organizations. In addition to Roger and Shel, Fellows participating in this conversation included Bish Mukherjee, Jim Shaffer, Angela Sinickas, and Stacy Wilson.Continue Reading → The post Circle of Fellows #55: Bosses — True Stories of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

For many communicators, work is all about the craft of producing articles, posts, videos, and other content. Moving into the leadership ranks, however, requires more than great tactical skills and, in fact, more than great strategic planning capabilities. Senior-level communicators regularly advise and coach the company’s executives (and others) on how to communicate effectively, both in general and about specific issues. In episode 52 of the “Circle of Fellows” broadcast, four IABC Fellows discussed how to acquire coaching skills and apply them with company leaders. IABC Fellows participating in the discussion included Amanda Hamilton-Attwell, Jim Lukaszewski, Jim Shaffer, and Angela Sinickas.Continue Reading → The post Circle of Fellows #52: On Being a Great Adviser and Coach appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.

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. 

At IABC World Conference, I interviewed six communicators as part of the Chuck Chats Live interview series with Bananatag.  In the fourth interview, I talked with Angelia Sinickas. Angela is the owner of Sinickas Communications, and as it relates to IABC, she is a 21-time Gold Quill winner. I tracked her down at the conference and we talked out how she is helping communicators measure and link communications to behavioral change in organizations. And what the event was like the last time it was in Montreal - back in 1984.  Listen to the full chat on ICology or watch the video.  Chuck Chats is a partnership with Bananatag.

FIR host Shel Holtz moderated a discussion featuring Sean Williams, who coordinated an effort by the Institute for Public Relations to establish standards for employee communication measurement, and three other communication measurement thought leaders: Katie Paine, Angela Sinickas, and Ryan Williams. The robust discussion reflects the challenges of trying to set measurement standards for an activity as inconsistently practiced as employee communications. Among the points of contention that emerged in the conversation: the appropriate categories for various metrics and the items that belong in each category, whether outputs (such as intranet posts or emails sent) should be measured, and the distinction between metrics that predict future employee behaviors and those that look at past behaviors.Continue Reading → The post FIR Interview: The Challenges of Standardizing Employee Communication Measurement appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.
