Keeping on track

The past week and a bit has whizzed by! Sarah and Aurore appear to have settled in well and we’ve been busy forming our team and I’ve been bringing them up to speed. We went to the London Transport Museum to conduct some research for a project we’re working on which is taking place early […]

The write stuff

Over the past week I’ve really got back to my roots by spending a lot of time writing. I enjoy being able to express myself through words (a peek at artwork from my school days will testify my strength has never been drawings!) and I relish the challenge of turning technically complicated subjects into jargon-free prose. […]

Don’t say the c word

Today was the second day of Melcrum’s Strategic communication management summit in London. It was another packed day which I really enjoyed. For me, the highlight was meeting up with people I’ve tweeted with for months and having life breathed into subjects we all know are important but need a refresher every now and then. […]

It’s all about trust

Today was day one of Melcrum’s Strategic Communication Management summit (billed as THE event for internal communicators in Europe). (#scmuk on Twitter). With day one drawing to a close I’m reflecting on a busy day with lots of highlights and the key theme of trust running throughout. It’s been fantastic to meet professional communicators face-to-face […]

Monday musings

This week I’m looking forward to the launch of Imperial Wharf station, which opened its doors on Sunday and is the latest to be added to the London Overground network. After what seems like an eternity, my personal mobile contract is nearing the end and I can upgrade to an iPhone, hurrah. It’s due to arrive […]

Dear diary…

I’ve been asked by Melcrum to keep a diary of the first month at my new job – which you can read here. I’ve not kept a diary since I was a teenager (slightly different content now!) and I hope it will provide an insight into the role of internal communicators and also help me see […]

Comms in a nutshell

How do you describe corporate communication to people who have never encountered it before? Do you quote reams of statistics about how it can boost motivation, help retention and generally increase productivity of your workforce, or do you let people discover for themselves by providing effective two-way channels and let the benefits unfold? I’m mulling […]

Engagement, engagement, engagement

– and not the diamond ring type… Engagement has been around for a while now as a buzzword; it appears on lots of conference schedules and is subject of many a journal and article. But what does it mean in reality? Whose definition is correct? Why does it matter and what is the role corporate […]

What do you think of Internal Comms qualifications?

Huge congratulations to everyone on my post-graduate diploma in Internal Communications Management course. A year of study has finally come to an end and I’m the very proud owner of a PGDip. Well done to everyone in my class for surviving and coming out the other side. For me, the opportunity to meet Internal Comms […]

CiB awards success!

The annual Communicators in Business (CiB) awards took place in Birmingham, UK, last Friday night and I’m chuffed to bits to say that our team (Internal Communications) was honoured. We won Awards of Excellence for our monthly employee magazine at Tube Lines, platform, and for the online news site our team produced in-house to publicise […]

Stop feeling like a Twitt… the Twittonary has landed

If you were starting up a company and had a robust communications team onboard from day one, I’m sure that before long they would be advising you on your brand identity, corporate colour palette, house style-guide and all the other essential ingredients that go into making organisations a consistently-presented success. But when does the glossary […]
