Summer Bacon is a spiritual teacher, and has been a Trance Medium for the beautiful spirit, Dr. James Martin Peebles since 1994. She first met Dr. Peebles in 1989, through Trance Medium, Thomas Jacobson [To Dance with Angels, by Don & Linda Pendleton]. When Thomas quit channeling, she decided that she did not want to lose her connection with Dr. Peebles, and proceeded to set out to "find" him with her heart.Summer has been a spiritual seeker all of her life. At the age of 11 months she realized that she was here on earth to find out "what this truth thing is about once and for all." For most of her early life, Summer spent much of her time trying to avoid or deny the spiritual occurrences that bombarded her on a daily basis. Visitations from spirits and angels, memories from other lifetimes, powerful psychic experiences (including prophetic dreams), visits from extraterrestrials, and out of body experiences were part of her days and nights while she attempted to live like a "normal" child and teenager.She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from UCLA in 1984, and immediately went to work for ABC-TV during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Later she was hired to work for Goodson-Todman Productions as a Prize Coordinator for the game show Super Password. She also spent two years managing her family's state-of-the-art 24-track recording studio, Skyline Recording, in the early 1980s. In 1984 she was hired by a staff leasing company where she worked as Director of Employee Benefits, and eventually as Director of Employee Communications. In 1989, she bought the Communications Division and began working independently as a graphic designer, typesetter, writer and marketer.As a graphic designer, developing corporate images and writing ad copy couldn't have been easier. Making use of her natural psychic skills, she would consult one-on-one with Spirit about what her clients' needs were and through this guidance was often able to design the perfect corporate image before she even met with them.Still, there was a burning desire to reconnect with Dr. Peebles again, and so she sat night after night relentlessly seeking him with her heart for nearly seven years, until December 4, 1994 when she at last went into a deep trance, and he spoke through her. For the next three years she channeled hundreds of spirits, including dearly departed loved ones, for anyone who needed help. She did all of the channelings for free, while still running her graphic design business and raising her two daughters.During this time, Summer was also in a very abusive marriage, and eventually made the difficult decision to escape. She began to raise her two children alone, with very little financial support. She was living on the edge of poverty when two of her dear friends encouraged her to go public with her channeling. She nervously did her first Open Session as a Trance Medium for Dr. Peebles in 1996. From there, word of mouth kept her busy with Open Sessions and Private Sessions, and she was able to buy a house in 2004During the fiscal collapse of 2008 she ended up filing bankruptcy and surrendering her home. She knows what it means to lose everything, start over, and keep moving forward, and then lose everything, start over, and keep moving forward again.Although it was difficult, she knows that she would not be the spiritual teacher that she is today, with the ability to relate to people and their challenges. Her deep and abiding love and for, and relationship with, God and Spirit kept her going during the darkest times of her life. As she says, "God's love is real and constant," and was, and still is, her strength in life.Summer's mission is not to prove the existence of God and Spirit to anyone, but rather to help demystify mysticism in order to empower people to create their own relationship with God and Spirit. Aside from channeling Dr. Peebles, her greatest passion has been about sharing of her experiences through group seminars and coaching session. For nearly 30 years, she has helped and guided thousands of individuals to develop a deeper personal connection with God and Spirit, and understand and conquer the fears and misconceptions that often accompany this desire for spiritual growth.Please enjoy my conversation with Summer Bacon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

This episode features an interview with Kosheno Moore, Vice President and Digital Community Leader for Regional Center Satellite at Fidelity Investments. Prior to joining Fidelity, she served as the Manager of CX Communications at Workday, Head of Communities at Aurea Software, Principal of Employee Communications at Jive Software, and spent 7 years at Agilent Technologies in various roles.In this episode, Shawn and Kosheno discuss strategies for creating meaningful digital connections, the future of D&I within corporate culture, and how to foster a sense of belonging among employees.-------------------“In order to create a sense of community in a digital environment, you have to not just think about the technology itself, like anyone can deploy any technology. It's almost moot point what technology you use, but it's about the strategy piece of it. It's about the bringing people together piece of it. Which means like, what's going to motivate people to come together? Can we organize people around certain themes? In order to do that, you need to be able to create communication messaging, and you need to do that in so many different forms of media, and you need to tap into different audience source. Community management, I think, really forces you to be omnichannel. And yes, communication is a big component of it, but it really challenges us to think cross-disciplinary, like you want to be strategic, you also want to be tactical, you also want to be multimedia savvy, and a great communicator, too. I think that's the beauty of it. I think when it's done well, community management strategy and technology, a robust technology platform, I think those could be win-win.” – Kosheno Moore-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:26): Getting to know Kosheno*(07:37): Kosheno's career journey *(19:39): The challenges of building digital communities*(31:35): The impact of community size*(41:58): Kosheno's thoughts on D&I strategies*(46:22): The future of human connections at work-------------------Links:Connect with Kosheno on LinkedInConnect with Shawn on LinkedInCohesion Podcast

Here is a summary article of the conversation between host Marcus Edwardes and Employer Brand Specialist - Marta Riggins."Unlocking Success: Crafting a Magnetic Employer Brand"In today's competitive job market, building a magnetic employer brand is paramount. It acts as a beacon, attracting top talent by showcasing a compelling Employee Value Proposition (EVP). The goal extends beyond attraction; an enriched employee experience ensures talent not only walks through the door but stays, grows, and becomes brand ambassadors.The Magnetic Employer Brand: Attract, Retain, EngageCrafting an irresistible EVP, defining what sets the company apart, is crucial. Authenticity is key—letting employees share real experiences resonates with candidates. This approach not only attracts talent effortlessly but also slashes hiring costs, enhances retention rates, and boosts morale.The Enriching Employee Experience: The Bedrock of InnovationThe employee journey, marked by deliberate touchpoints, catalyzes productivity, encourages innovation, and enhances overall well-being. Providing tools for a seamless workday empowers employees and fosters a sense of fulfillment.The Clarity of Employee Communications: The Harmony of the Workplace SymphonyClear communication guarantees alignment on objectives, nurtures an inclusive culture, and invites feedback for continuous improvement. Establishing diverse communication channels and scheduling regular check-ins fosters transparency and honest conversations.The Vibrancy of Employee Engagement: The Pulse That Powers PerformanceRecognizing and rewarding achievements, big or small, strengthens loyalty, curtails turnover, and amplifies individual and collective performance. Encouraging growth opportunities through learning initiatives and clear career pathways fosters a collaborative ecosystem.In conclusion, these components—Employer Brand, Employee Experience, Employee Communications, and Employee Engagement—are the cogs in the wheel of organizational growth. Ignite these areas strategically to transform your organization into a talent magnet, a cradle for innovation, and a beacon of industry excellence.Marta Riggins emphasizes, "If you're good at employer branding, you can make anything interesting." It's time to wield this power and craft an organization that's not just a place to work but a place to grow, thrive, and make an impact.A magnetic employer brand isn't just a facade; it's a mirror reflecting internal values. It weaves through every job description, interview, and employee story, answering the 'why' for potential employees: Why join? Why care? Why stay?The employee experience is the journey with the organization, from the first interview to the last day. Enhancing it is about respect, empowerment, and creating a sense of belonging, not just perks and parties.Effective employee communications, a bidirectional street, fosters a culture where employees feel heard and understood. It's not just about memos; it's about conversations in hallways, virtual meetings, and collaboration platforms.Employee engagement, the heartbeat of the organization, is the enthusiasm employees bring to their roles. It's a key indicator of organizational health and a predictor of business outcomes.Aligned, these pillars create an environment where individuals contribute, innovate, and feel part of something greater. A commitment to these principles makes a company an employer of choice in the competitive talent landscape.

The constant, often troubling news cycle may worry employees, not only about how it effects their lives outside of work, but inside as well.

How does the world's largest professional network help its own employees build connections? In this episode of Get Reworked, we talk to Laurel Dzneladze, employee communications, digital platforms leader at LinkedIn about the community-based approach to employee communications at the company and how it feeds into the broader employee experience.   "Some of our work focus has been on that — how can we make this flexible work, work?" said Laurel. "We're creating a virtual experience for our remote employees. But we're also creating these in-person experiences, or even driving the desire to go to an office by surfacing community-based content that would make somebody go to an office or attend a virtual event." Highlights of the conversation include: Why Laurel and her team focus on amplifying employee and leader voices.   How community building is central to their approach. What channels and tools she uses to get the messages out. How to help people participate in community, whether in person or working remotely. How she measures the success of these efforts. Plus, co-hosts Kate Cox and Siobhan Fagan talk with Laurel about why she's on team 'no newsletter,' how LinkedIn still sees itself as a scrappy start-up, and how to reuse, repurpose and recycle content.

His digital strategist and communications expertise has been shaped at companies like Magic Leap and Riot Games.In this episode, Amanda sits down with Phrai to discuss AI's impact on internal communications, the value of cross-functional relationships, and why an equitable employee experience is critical.-------------------“You should be spending time in your stores, in the back room, watching people work, observing what they do, how they do it, seeing the problems they face, seeing how they get the information they get. You should understand in great detail how those people work. Step one is for communicators, IT people, executives to actually be there in the field, in the situations and context of these hands-on workers and observing them so that they can build empathy, build insights, and destroy any assumptions that they have about what those people's lives are actually like.” – Ephraim Freed-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:13): Why Ephraim thinks the employee experience is broken*(05:25): Ephraim's career journey *(06:50): Segment: Story Time*(13:07): Segment: Getting Tactical*(18:03): Creating an equitable employee experience for hands-on and on-screen workers*(32:02): Segment: Seat at the Table*(32:36): How cross-functional relationships improve employee experience *(37:09): Segment: Asking For a Friend*(37:23): The rollercoaster of AI-------------------Links:Connect with Ephraim on LinkedInConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

More than three years after the coronavirus shut down the world, the Biden administration announced in early 2023 the end of the U.S. National Emergency and the Public Health Emergency, two declarations that had mandated health insurance coverage of COVID-19 tests and vaccines, among other requirements. As these regulations are now rolled back, what does that mean for employer-sponsored health plans? In this episode of Critical Point, Milliman health experts discuss the implications, from whether to continue paying for at-home COVID-19 tests and when to phase out standalone telehealth benefits, to how to communicate any changes with plan members at this significant moment in the pandemic. You can read the episode transcript on our website.

This episode features an interview with Katherine King, Director of Employee Communications at Etsy. She has been with the global ecommerce company since 2018, serving the internal communications function through Etsy's massive growth. Previously, Katherine was a dialogue strategist where she developed brands' customer-facing tone of voice for clients like American Express, Gerber, and Southwest Airlines.In this episode, Amanda and Katherine discuss the spectrum of tone and voice, key business relationships that improve employee communications, and helping leaders develop empathetic messages.-------------------“A reliable tone breeds familiarity, and familiarity is the precursor to trust. The more that we can breed familiarity with leadership and their authentic voice, the greater trust the team will have and the better the business will be. And I know that that seems like a big jump, but there is actual data backing up how trust impacts your business' bottom line, and its employees' trust in their employer. And that's everything from NPS to retention and engagement – these are all things that do affect your bottom line.” – Katherine King-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:17): Katherine's background*(06:31): Segment: Story Time*(11:29): Segment: Getting Tactical*(12:02): Key relationships that help employee comms*(21:18): Segment: Ripped From The Headlines*(21:46): How Katherine helps leaders build empathy and compassion*(25:23): Why tone of voice matters*(28:01): Katherine explains the spectrum of tone and voice*(38:17): Segment: Asking For a Friend-------------------Links:Connect with Katherine on LinkedInEdelman Trust BarometerConnect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

There's no single recipe when it comes to internal communications. But one thing that's consistent is the importance of employee feedback.   In this episode of Get Reworked, we talk to Judy Whitcomb, senior vice president of organizational strategy and effectiveness at Vi, a Chicago-based operator of luxury senior living communities across the US. Throughout her career, she's worked in HR, learning and development, marketing and communications. The pandemic and its aftermath put all that experience to the test.  Listen: Get Reworked Full Episode List "One thing we learned early on was that we had to be thoughtful and we had to be intentional about our communication strategy," Judy said. "And we couldn't share information with residents without sharing things with our employees at the same time, so we understood the necessity of communicating concurrently about what was going on." Highlights of the conversation include: How Vi adapted employee communications to the challenges of the last two-plus years. The keys to effective internal communications, whether it's in a crisis or normal times. The role of HR in employee communications. How to ensure that all voices are heard as part of an employee listening program. Why the company decided to rollout ViHive, its new internal communications app. Plus, co-hosts Siobhan Fagan and Mike Prokopeak talk with Judy about learning management systems, how useful it is for HR to think like marketing and whether it's better to be an HR generalist or specialist.

Special Guest: Lindsay Uittenbogaard, Director, Mirror Mirror Lindsay Uittenbogaard's interest in Employee Communications led her to study the literature, take up various leadership positions in the field, and investigate ways to support a deeper level of shared understanding as relevant to performance. In response, she founded a data-driven approach called Mirror Mirror in 2016. An IABC-accredited Business Communicator, Lindsay studied Music, Journalism, and International Communication Management at postgraduate level, she is a certified member of the CIPD, the Reputation Institute, and is a published author in the Gower Handbook on Internal Communication. Research shows that more alignment between people in teams, about how they relate to the strategy and interact to deliver, improves effectiveness while reducing cost and risk. Alignment doesn't necessarily mean everyone has to think the same thing, or even agree with each other. Human alignment is when people with shared goals consider their options and commit to taking the best possible course of action together. This presents a huge area for opportunity for employee communication practitioners and their colleagues in related people & performance fields: empowering people at the local level to create a more meaningful shared understanding about their work to deliver together moves away from the all too common world of top-down / silo working, and moves towards relevant, effective and impactful strategy implementation. Join us as we discuss human alignment. Host: Jo Dodds

Communicating in the new and future workplace, whether that be a hybrid or fully remote model, is radically different than pre-2020. Beyond the physical and tactical decision that leaders must tackle as they lay plans for their new workplace structures is the great need to assess and develop new communications skills for ALL employees and teams. And the need to evolve how work is tackled is now urgent - workflows, processes, and communications all need an edit and FAST.  We talk about living and communicating values, leading with empathy, various tools needed to upgrade work processes, and key communications assessments and trainings that leaders should leverage right now to prepare for the altered approach to work that is here to stay. Asana.comMonday.com4Lenses.comMental Health days https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/well/mind/mental-health-day.html?smid=url-shareNYT-Returning to the Office and the Future of Workhttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/09/23/opinion/covid-return-to-work-rto.htmlCNN-CEOs weigh in on the future of workhttps://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/09/business/perspectives/future-of-work-pandemic/index.htmlCEO Survey per KPMGhttps://home.kpmg/xx/en/home/insights/2021/08/kpmg-2021-ceo-outlook/digital-agility.html?cid=ggl-cpc_ggl_all_xx_2021_digital-agility_responsive&s_kwcid=AL!13704!3!544987150734!b!!g!!future%20of%20workforceThe Future of Work is Here-Newsweekhttps://www.newsweek.com/future-work-here-1620794

12 Tips for Better Employee Communications EPISODE 65 | Debbie DeWitt, marketing communications manager for Visix ** IT'S OUR TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! Thanks to everyone who tunes in to DSDR. We hope you've found our episodes fun and valuable. If you have any suggestions for topics, email us at comms@visix.com. And don't forget that you can subscribe to this podcast and also our YouTube channel. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. ** Better employee communications take work. It's not enough to create a PowerPoint slide or fill in a template with some text. You have to have a strategy behind your messages, or your employees will just tune out.

But often the most overlooked and valuable audience is your employees.  Whether it's communicating about the post-COVID return, your mission and values, or your new offerings, how you engage your employees is critical to your business success. This week on HearSay, Michael and Lee welcome Larry Moscow and Katie Cronen to talk about all of that and more, including why some words like “agile,” efficient,” “innovative” and “transformational” might not be effective and what language you should use instead.

How do you begin to shift employee communications from a tactical, primarily ad hoc exercise, with little to no coordination or consistency into a highly effective, dynamic, well-orchestrated, strategic competitive advantage? Find out here. Read More--> 

Too often you hear it in the hallways (or over conference apps, ironically) and see it on employee surveys, “We don't communicate as a company. We send a lot of emails, but we don't communicate.” Employee communication is truly the lifeblood of any organization. The more timely, efficient, and consistent the communication flows, the greater chance that the organization thrives. Read More

We all have deadlines, and most of us have people we report to. So how can IC professionals deliver timely comms when approval can take so long? Brad Whitworth looks back at his time at Hewlett-Packard to give you actionable advice.

To Nicole Helprin, it used to look like overthinking and being extra-intentional were her superpowers, the tools that got her through each day. She was of the “if I can think it, I can build it” mentality, constantly relying on her thinking to determine the state of her wellbeing. In today’s conversation, Nicole shares what she’s learned since challenging these beliefs, and what she’s experienced since embracing an unknown future. She highlights what can happen when you remove “thinking” from the equation, and instead, open yourself up to possibilities beyond your momentary imagination. She sees now that, actually, it is possible to be OK, no matter what happens. Nicole Helprin is a creative leader with significant expertise and experience that she uses to make work and lives better. She is currently the Senior Vice President of Engagement, Performance, and Talent for a large, global tech company. Prior to this role, Nicole has worked in leadership and executive positions focused on Culture, Engagement, Diversity and Inclusion and Employee Communications at large, medium and small tech companies. She started her career in education as a teacher and trainer, and her love of teaching and coaching has been an integral part of all of her work and different roles ever since.

Keith Laska is the CEO of Hanzo, co-founder and partner of EUX, and an advisor at Lilt. He joins Vince Walden to discuss Hanzo's approach to cloud computing enterprise communications. Hanzo is dedicated to helping legal and compliance teams save billions of dollars in litigation costs by supplying them with critical applications to regain control of their corporate data. They offer legal hold software for companies struggling with enterprise collaboration tools. Their mission is to make the complex simple when it comes to managing dynamic data. Collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams are challenging for legal and compliance teams to perform audit trails related to communication, due to their complex and unstructured nature. Emails, on the other hand, have clear and direct pathways of communication.  Applications that enable work-from-home environments are being adopted at an aggressive pace, so much so that the CEO of Slack has publicly stated that the pandemic has accelerated the anticipated evolution from emails to messaging apps by at least 18 months. Keith predicts that 30-40% of the working US population will be working remotely post-COVID, a huge jump from the previous 18%. Additionally, he believes that over the next few years, companies will be able to proactively identify problems before they occur, transforming data management into insight management.  Resources Keith Laska on LinkedIn | Twitter Hanzo.co

In this very special episode of The Comms Shift, we’re introducing not just one, but two new voices to the podcast! Firstly, this marks the first episode hosted by me, Aleks, Product Marketing Manager at Smarp. For a long time now, our CMO Bruno has been hosting The Comms Shift. The two of us have so many conversations around Employee Communications (with each other as well as the amazing comms professionals we work with), that a transition to co-hosting the show just made sense. Secondly, and more importantly, I’m more than excited to introduce Jill Christensen to our Comms Shift listeners! A former Fortune 500 business executive with a Six Sigma Green Belt, Jill Christensen understands how organizations operate, and what they need to do differently to attract, retain, and engage employees. Her best-selling book, If Not You, Who?, outlines, among other things, the clear benefits linked to an open, honest and authentic communications culture. Thanks to her status as a Top 101 Employee Engagement Influencer, Jill has worked in 20 industries, partnering with the best and brightest leaders around the world to improve productivity, retention, and revenue growth through re-engaging employees with effective, authentic communications. In this episode, me and Jill chat about: - Her decision to move from corporate executive to consultant and speaker. - The benefits of communicating authentically… and the cost of not doing so. - Examples of organizations and executives doing comms the right way. - What to do to fix comms in an organization struggling with transparency in their comms. - How comms pros can directly show their impact on bottom-line results. - What we can ALL do to become a bit more authentic when communicating. I know I had a lot of fun chatting with her, and I hope you’ll have just as much fun listening. There is a little something for everyone in this episode, so settle into your commute and have a listen!

Communication tools and how we communicate have been evolving, however, our current environment has forced us to adapt rapidly in a way most of us were unaccustomed to and most likely never thought possible. So while our environment has gone 'all-in', it's time for us to go 'all-in' as well. To read this update click here

Employee communications have always been an HR issue, but why? PR and marketing professionals are better equipped to drive internal employee communications. Employees need to know the company mission, position, offers and value statement. Employees are your greatest ambassadors. Word-of-mouth from employees has huge value in-person, online and via social media. A company stands for what the employees stand for. The keys are building relationships and engagement. Can you mid-level employees do a better job with internal communications? Probably so. Your PR team can help. Often, companies with rapid growth (existing and startups) lose their effectiveness due to a lack of internal communication structure. Like our Golding Group partner Felicite Moorman says: "Death By Success" from rapid growth. The lack of employee communications is as detrimental as gaps in internal structure, inventory or cash flow. Special guest Alyssa Murphy drops by to discuss AMA-OKC, our local chapter of the American Marketing Association. Alyssa tells us about upcoming signature speaker series, their annual Super Bowl Ad review and upcoming "Marketini" awards. http://amaokc.org/ Subscribe to the NeoMarketing podcast on iTunes and videos on YouTube.

“Mark my words,” Shel Holtz said in a 2016 blog, “Bots are coming to the workplace, to media relations, to public relations. They are coming just as surely as the web was going to completely disrupt the way communications was done a quarter century ago.” When we read that, Sharon and I knew we wanted to know more about chatbots – and how they will affect employee communications. Soon after, we met Chris McGrath, and knew we wanted to discuss chatbots.
