As the economy pressures companies to tighten their budgets, more ESG and CSR leaders are having to prove why their initiatives should remain a priority. Claims of “woke capitalism” from political leaders and a lack of internal consensus on ESG's importance only complicate the situation.ESG and CSR leaders are not alone, though. For 18 years, the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals (ACCP) has provided a network of support and resources to help professionals advocate for investment in ESG/CSR initiatives. ACCP cultivates inclusive peer communities to help members create a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous society through corporate commitments.To share more about ACCP's work – and the state of ESG and CSR today – we invited Carolyn Berkowitz, President and CEO at ACCP, to the show. Listen for insights on:The difference between ESG and CSRHow to help educate colleagues in different departments about the importance of ESG/CSRHow to measure the “S” in ESG and extend it to corporate strategyWhen companies should publicly engage in ESG issuesThe skills needed for CSR employees today Resources + Links:Carolyn Berkowitz's LinkedInACCP CommunityACCP Membership (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Carolyn Berkowitz • ACCP (01:16) - Carolyn's Background (02:00) - Who Is ACCP?

Biography:Helen Pollock is an Amazon-bestselling ghostwriter, non-fiction book coach, and business content specialist. Working as The Content Doc these days, Helen’s been writing professionally for around two decades during a career in Marketing and, mostly, PR. Having worked for organisations as diverse as Aston Martin, The Royal Shakespeare Company, computer games companies, and Plumb Center, Helen’s passion is writing lively and engaging copy about…well…just about anything.Now, Helen has transitioned to helping business people to write better. She ghostwrites business books and also content like blog posts and articles. Coaching people to write better copy, from a blog post to a book, is something Helen is incredibly committed to. She believes that everyone can become a better writer and that creating a simple framework for content creation is the key to great business writing. If Helen had to sum herself up in three words, they would be as follows: writer, feeder, fighter. Main talking points include:Helen wanted to work for herself to have a “portfolio lifestyle” – found working in a corporate job really boring… Helen lived in Dubai as a child and took to learning languages. This progressed to getting a degree in French and German. After the birth of her child, Helen wanted to become self-employed, and found a gap in the market for teaching Mandarin in a fun way… the only issue was that she didn’t speak mandarin. Helen overcame this by employing mandarin speakers and working with them to put the curriculum together. After five years of tweaking the business plan and running the company alongside a part-time job, Helen faced a number of challenges, and in the end, wound this stream of income down. Just because a business idea doesn’t work, don’t mean you’re a failure:Helen learned a lot about running a businessHelen and her team reached thousands of children with learning mandarin in a fun way – where are they now? The Content Doc brought aspects of her corporate job and what she’d learned from running her language school.

While the title of Matt Pearl‘s book, The Solo Video Journalist: Doing it All and Doing It Well in TV Multimedia Journalism (Focal Press, 2016), hints at a solitary existence, he shares experiences of many journalists who have inspired his work and emphasizes the community built around multimedia journalism. He has worked in television news for more than a decade and shares what he’s learned in a clear and logical way while still telling a story. The book gives a hands-on approach that walks the reader through planning a segment, dressing the part, conducting interviews and editing the content. For quite a long period of time, those in news media were part of a stable industry that hadn’t seen much change. The past few decades have been the opposite of stable. The expectations of those in journalistic roles are more fluid today. The definition of a multimedia journalist is a moving target of sorts, and Pearl has experienced adapting to those shifts and changes in the field. The book not only provides useful insights for college students, but also for veteran journalists who wants to expand their career horizons. Learn more about your ad choices.

How can we help journalism students do better? What are the things journalism students should know before they enter the business? So many of us in this profession, I fear, rarely think about how we welcome newcomers into that profession. I grapple with it often and have written about it in several entries in this blog. I have even authored a how-to book for aspiring local TV news reporters: The Solo Video Journalist, available now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the publisher's web site. Vicki Michaelis has taken her own path to help our industry's future. She became a nationally respected and renowned sportswriter, leading USA Today's coverage of the Olympics on six different occasions. She also served as the president of the Association for Women in Sports Media. Then she received an opportunity that she had not foreseen. Michaelis, in 2012, learned of the chance to head the University of Georgia's new sports journalism program. She applied for the job and got it, and for the past five years she has helped sculpt a wave of young sports reporters as they prepare for their grueling entry into the professional world. Michaelis is my guest on Episode #49 of the Telling the Story podcast. I really enjoyed this conversation, in which Michaelis gave important insights into the mindset of current journalism students. We also discussed, at length, my recent blog post about what I learned (and didn't learn) in J-school. What should students expect to gain from a college journalism program? Michaelis and I dive deep into that topic. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #49: Vicki Michaelis, journalism professor, University of Georgia appeared first on Telling The Story.

I'll always remember the first time I was asked to speak at a major storytelling conference. I flew to Minneapolis/St. Paul in 2014 to talk about solo video journalism at the Ignite Your Passion workshop. It immediately became one of the most joyous and fulfilling experiences of my career, and it sparked an evolution that led to me co-directing a similar workshop two years later. This past fall, Heidi Wigdahl received that same opportunity. The KARE-TV MMJ discussed the do-it-all process with Twin Cities colleague Adrienne Broaddus and WITI-TV's Jonathon Gregg. She cherished the opportunity to reach a regional audience of solo video journalists, many of whom are -- like her -- in their 20s. Wigdahl has a pretty impressive story to tell. She has risen up the ranks from Rochester, Minn. to Knoxville, Tenn. to her current location, Minneapolis/St. Paul. She now works at a station that is widely respected for the storytelling acumen of its reporters, photojournalists, and MMJs. Wigdahl is my guest on Episode #47 of the Telling the Story podcast. We discuss a wide range of topics but focus on one of the biggest logistical struggles for many MMJs: how to dress for the twin challenges of appearing on-air and shooting quality video. I interviewed Wigdahl about that topic for my new book, The Solo Video Journalist, available now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the publisher's web site. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #47: Heidi Wigdahl, solo video journalist, KARE-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.

Earlier this week, I made an exciting announcement that should greatly benefit the journalism industry. I introduced my new book, The Solo Video Journalist, dedicated to providing a unique how-to guide for TV multimedia journalists -- also known as MMJs, backpack journalists, one-man and one-woman bands, and VJs. The book can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and my publisher's web site. Throughout the book, I interview some of the country's best MMJs -- and journalists period. I use each chapter to break down a specific step of the storytelling process, combining my advice with that of the journalist I interviewed for that chapter. In the case of shooting solo stand-ups, I knew exactly who to call. Joe Little of KGTV is my guest on Episode #46 of the Telling the Story podcast. He has gained notoriety in media circles for his annual YouTube compilation of his stand-ups that have continued now for more than half a decade. (I actually just got sidetracked writing this post while watching one. Check it out ...) He brings creativity and fearlessness to a task that would deter many solo acts -- myself included. I shied away from shooting my own stand-ups for a long time but have seen from Little and others how they can benefit my work. Now I do them regularly, and I am more empowered because of my solo status. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #46: Joe Little, solo video journalist, KGTV appeared first on Telling The Story.
