But always be kind, because you never know when you will need people or just, this is a business of teaming. And so, you know, people want to work with people who are kind." — Megan DiSciullo [00:08:43 → 00:09:05] On the Role of Data in Communications: "Data is the ultimate neutralizer. Whether the data is coming from the comms team, the marketing team, or from our client insights team. The data is telling us key insights about our audience that we need to know." — Megan DiSciullo [00:27:19 → 00:27:35] On the Importance of Change Management: "It makes for sometimes an uphill battle. And that's where change management culture change really needs to happen. And there's no amount of money, I think, that you can put down on the value of pilots and tests and stuff to kind of use that data and sort of show examples and gain permission and gain buy in over time." — Dan Nestle [00:31:15 → 00:31:35] On the Importance of Change Management: "If you put out, even if it's a tech product that's in the 1.0 version and it's not a good experience, you've lost people. So it doesn't matter how many times you communicate about it if the experience isn't great, especially in today's world where people have little appetite and little patience." — Megan DiSciullo [00:35:22 → 00:35:42] On the Role of AI in Enhancing Productivity: "Once you understand, okay, all prompting, and this is what it is, and this is what it means. That's that kind of first initial wall to get through with the user with the AI partner. And once they get through that wall, then it's about, oh, my goodness, I'm going to save all this time." — Dan Nestle [00:45:39 → 00:46:00] On the Future of AI in Communications: "I see Gen AI, at least in its current function and form, to be a productivity and efficiency tool. There is still a need for really great counsel, really great crisis management skills, really great relationship building skills, really great dot connecting skills." — Megan DiSciullo [00:48:39 → 00:48:55] On the Future of Communications: "AI is an enabler with that, of course, because a lot of the fundamental tasks that people associate with typical traditional comms can be essentially handed over to, at least at the first level, to these brilliant, co creative, co intelligent platforms, and then brought back to the human to make sure that it's all good to go, but it saves a lot of time, much more productive." — Dan Nestle [01:02:13 → 01:02:35] On the Evolution of the Communications Profession: "I started faxing press releases. I am so far from a fax machine and loving it. But I'm now learning the next skill, and in ten years, I'm going to learn something that we haven't even started to think about. And that is the beauty of this profession." — Megan DiSciullo [01:04:47 → 01:05:00]  Resources and Links Dan Nestle The Trending Communicator | Website Daniel Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter Megan DiSciullo Megan DiSciullo | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Flowsend.ai) 00:00:01: Introduction and Welcome 00:01:41: Megan DiSciullo Joins the Conversation 00:02:19: Early Career and First Impressions 00:03:21: Transition from Edelman to PwC 00:04:22: Predictive Analytics Project 00:05:25: First Meeting with Megan 00:06:08: Megan's Reaction to Predictive Analytics 00:08:43: Megan's Philosophy on Kindness and Teaming 00:10:16: Importance of Kindness in Business 00:11:06: Megan's Career Journey 00:12:07: Early Interest in Purpose and Ethics 00:13:09: Work with Business Roundtable Post-Katrina 00:14:10: Transition to PwC and Building Internal Change 00:15:12: Merging Internal and External Communications 00:16:14: Introduction to Comtech 00:17:15: Commtech vs. Commstech 00:19:41: Data and Analytics in Communications 00:21:13: Building the Tech Stack 00:22:15: Embedding Technology into Workflows 00:23:17: Audience-Centric Approach 00:24:05: Partnership Between Marketing and Communications 00:27:19: Navigating Conflicts Between Teams 00:30:13: Change Management and Culture Change 00:32:16: Integrating Marketing and Communications 00:33:22: Expanding Teams and Data Science 00:35:26: Importance of Pilots and Feedback 00:37:33: AI Implementation and Upskilling 00:39:21: Team Effort in AI Training 00:40:31: Hands-On Training and Gamification 00:42:02: Democratization of Learning 00:43:03: Bespoke Tools for Marketing and Comms 00:45:07: Mass Personalization with GenAI 00:47:12: Empowering Teams with AI 00:48:39: Encouraging Innovation and Experimentation 00:50:49: Framing AI as a Co-Intelligence 00:54:46: Ethical Implications of AI 00:57:02: Building Trust in AI 00:59:15: Transparency and Validation in AI 01:00:43: Future Focus for Communicators 01:02:13: Role of Communicators in Culture Building 01:03:53: Embracing Curiosity and Learning 01:04:48: Final Thoughts and Farewell     (Notes co-created by Humans and a variety of AI helpers, including Fireflies.ai and Flowsend.ai)

When you see things that work, keep leaning into it, keep using that, keep trying to use that to motivate people. The other thing is it's very easy to get caught up in the challenges that are there, the little setbacks. Things that happen that don't go as well as you plan. Recognize that. Celebrate failures for what they are. And when you do acknowledge it, learn from it, and then move forward, and then celebrate your wins. Celebrate what you learn and use that to rally people. Use that for recognition. While you're doing this transformation, don't lose track of having a culture of recognition and understanding that it's people that are going to drive the success.

Natalie has spent the last 21 years refining her communication skills, starting out as a copy editor at newspapers and now managing employee experience at Levi's. In this episode, Amanda and Natalie discuss how internal and external communications can work better together, collecting employee feedback, and how Levi's is making space for employees to have tough conversations.-------------------“My number one piece of advice when I talk to people is, don't ask a question if you're not going to act on the answer. People need to know that you're going to take this feedback and do something with it. So, if you're asking something that gives people a sense that you might take steps to address it and you never planned on it, I think you're harming some of that trust in the relationship between you and the people that you're surveying. So make sure that you're asking about things you're actually going to take action on.” – Natalie Ridsdale-------------------Episode Timestamps:*(01:47): Natalie's background*(06:12): Segment: Story Time*(06:34): How internal and external comms can work better together*(07:49): Segment: Getting Tactical*(18:05): Dos and don'ts of employee surveys and feedback*(21:35): How Levi's holds tough conversations internally*(24:27): Segment: Seat at the Table*(26:57): How Natalie recommends change to leaders*(28:27): Segment: Asking for a Friend*(28:44): Natalie's advice to a first time IC leader-------------------Links:Connect with Natalie on LinkedInLevi Strauss & Co.Connect with Amanda on LinkedInwww.simpplr.com/podcast

Oliver Nutt, Vice President, Marketing and External Communications at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), shares insights about the importance of branding, leading large organizations, and navigating change.Most of our guests here on Leaders of B2B are usually startup founders overseeing smaller teams. So hearing from a leader of a large organization is extremely insightful.Nutt talks about the importance of branding in enterprise organizations. This marketing responsibility is critical, serving both internal and external purposes. In the case of GDIT, it was essential, following a merger. It was a means of projecting unity, rallying behind a new culture, and placing them on the map.Nutt talks about the dynamics of leadership as it scales. The approach shifts when you're leading a team, multiple teams, and an entire organization. With a constant number of hours in a day, it's essential to build a culture of trust and empowerment. Nutt explains how the spirit of entrepreneurship can also work in a corporate environment. The same feeling of embracing change, even if it is uncomfortable, also holds true. The move from General Dynamics in the UK to the US was a huge step. Nutt thought he'd never be ready to take on this daunting task but found that it was great for his career.Business leaders can gain great lessons from large organization leaders like Oliver Nutt.

“When you think about internal communications, It's so much about change management. It's about bringing people along on the journey that the CEO or the executive team have created in multiple meetings. They already know it, but now they have to turn around and communicate it. And so they have to make that their own. They have to believe it. And we as humans can really smell when somebody doesn't believe what they're saying. And so you have to just own it and practice it and know it inside and out and bring your own stories and examples to it. It can't just be talking points off of a sheet because the rest of us know when it really isn't yours.” — Laura Klieves--------------Episode Timestamps:*(1:50) - How Laura got interested in communications*(3:05) - Laura's first job in communications*(5:08) - Laura's current role as Senior Director, L&D and Communications at Malwarebytes*(7:42) - Segment: Storytime*(14:00) - Segment: Getting Tactical*(17:20) - Overcoming learning curves when joining a company*(20:30) - Must-do tactics for ICs in order to be effective and engaging in a digital workforce*(25:00) - The critical components of storytelling *(29:40) - Ensuring virtual employees have an amazing experience*(33:25) - Segment: Seat at the Table*(37:50) - Segment: Asking for a Friend LinksConnect with Laura on LinkedInFollow Laura on TwitterAmanda's LinkedIn www.simpplr.com/podcast
