Team Masterclass for up to five people

What people say about All Things IC

Last year, I took Rachel’s How to be a Comms Consultant - Exploration course. It set me up for launching my own business and gave me the confidence I needed to bring Authentic Comms Strategic Consultancy to life. I 100% recommend this if you’re considering being a communications freelancer/consultant. Thank you Rachel Miller - properly inspiring, especially with the blog writing and values side.

What people say about All Things IC

I was making the decision whether consultancy was the right choice for me or whether I should stay in-house and work my way up as an internal communications practitioner. I invested in Rachel’s How to be a Comms Consultant – Exploration course and was blown away with Rachel’s knowledge, insight and experience. She was so honest and thanks to her support, guidance and encouragement, I launched my own business in January 2020 and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. If you’re not quite sure if this is for you, I highly recommend that you take a chance and invest in Rachel’s programme because you never know where it may lead.

I can highly recommend this Exploration Masterclass. Going solo is a big step and slightly scary. Spending some time with Rachel really helped me to get my head in the right place to take the first steps towards becoming an independent practitioner.

The Exploration Masterclass was really useful to help me explore the possibility of becoming a consultant. Rachel is very open and honest about her experiences, making this Masterclass personal and friendly – there’s no judging in the room that’s for sure! I left the day feeling inspired for future potentials in my internal comms career.

Rachel coached me when I moved from working in an agency on external comms to working in-house on internal comms. It was quite the leap, and my sessions with Rachel gave me the confidence I needed to get up and running quickly and also spot where I could make a difference in my new role. What Rachel doesn’t know about internal comms isn’t worth knowing, and I’m now working with her to coach my team. She’s also an absolute joy to work with – 100% professional but also warm, engaging and fun!

I asked Rachel if she would be able to support Google Atmosphere’s HR event by sharing her knowledge of internal communications. She spoke about the impact social media is having on the workplace and how businesses can benefit from employee social networking technologies. It was a brilliant presentation packed with relevant content delivered in a really personable style that engaged with the audience. I hope to work with Rachel again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an influential person who can attract a high calibre audience and deliver a cracking presentation.

A driving force behind many key industry initiatives, she helps the profession to help itself. What makes Rachel stand out in particular is her understanding and use of social media to highlight and drive best practice in internal communication. In this respect, she’s the best in the business.

Rachel exemplifies the professional standards, experience and active involvement in internal communication that sum up the perfect Fellow. It was a ‘no brainer’ for the panel to appoint her as one.

Through this Momentum Masterclass, Rachel creates a totally confidential yet honest environment to explore our individual business opportunities and proposition. Her insight, gleaned from her years in the business, and the advice from others was invaluable and I left with a head full of ideas and a notebook full of actions. Thank you Rachel!

Martin Flegg

What people say about All Things IC

Rachel’s knowledge and passion for internal comms is brilliant and extremely infectious, I left the masterclass with a renewed love for what I do. Having always worked in the public sector, I’ve attended training and networking in the past where the trainers and facilitators have no idea about the pressures of working in a communications team which has no budget, or very limited one at best. Rachel had a wealth of knowledge which is applicable to all sectors which is both engaging and encouraging. Thank you, I hope to attend more of Rachel’s classes in the future.

This class is a must for anyone working in internal comms that needs some support, is finding their organisation isn’t realising the need for effective internal comms or if you need a refresher and inspiration. Highly recommended.

I came away completely buzzing with inspiration and ideas and happy that I’d had the space to take a step back and think creatively about what we’re doing and why. Having time to think and reflect always feels like a bit of a luxury but it’s so important. Thank you Rachel for a brilliant day.

Already using tools from yesterday’s Internal Comms Masterclass! At a meeting I used “what do you want people to do/say/think/feel as a result of this campaign?” and not only did it provide an excellent structure, it made me feel much more confident and in control.

Rachel is warm, welcoming and easy to learn from. The content is detailed, thorough and relevant with loads of research, models and theory to draw on. Rachel creates an open, learning environment where there’s no such thing as a stupid question. I’m so glad I listened to her podcast and booked on the course. I’ve learned loads and been introduced to a lovely network of like-minded IC people. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel has coached me over the past year and her advice and support has been invaluable in making a career change. Rachel takes time to get to know her clients and understand their challenges.
Her style is very supportive but she also challenges you to step up and be bold. Her wealth of experience spans more than the internal comms industry, which makes her such an invaluable coach. She comes highly recommended

Caroline Waddams

What people say about All Things IC

I became a client of Rachel’s in 2018 as I transitioned into my first ‘Head of’ role. Rachel has been a phenomenal coach, mentor and sounding board during the six months we’ve worked together and what struck me more than anything is her desire to openly share her work, her considerable experience and expertise to make me a better practitioner and succeed. Rachel is warm, engaging and has celebrated my wins every step of the way, as well as providing me with a safe space in which to share frustrations and challenges – and effective strategies for overcoming these!
Through our time together, and with her guidance, I have undertaken an IC audit, added two very talented team members, developed our communications strategy, principles and levels of service. I couldn’t recommend Rachel more highly and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.

Leah Bowden

Head of Internal Communications

What people say about All Things IC

I really enjoyed working with Rachel, who delivered a bespoke masterclass to our Internal Communications team in 2018. From the outset she was professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and continued in that vein throughout the project.
She spent time getting to know our organisation through conversations, and reviewing documents and examples of our work and approach, meaning that she was able to personalise our masterclass and help us address some of our challenges. I’m sure these aren’t a million miles away from those faced by the other communicators, but as she was speaking in our languages and terms, it made it feel much more personal. It was clear that she had taken the time to really understand what we were looking to get out of the masterclass.
Her insight into trends and best practice was incredibly useful and has given us food for thought and some steps we can take to improve what we do.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachel, and hope we can work together in the future.

I was booked to attend one of Rachel's masterclasses in London but when this got cancelled due to the pandemic, she offered me a dedicated 121 session which was fantastic. It was very beneficial to get that kind of expert support on such an intimate basis. I'd submitted what I thought was a bit of an unrealistic wish list of things I wanted to cover in our session but Rachel managed to cover it all and more. This included comms strategy development, and personal and professional positioning. She shared some great tools, techniques, coaching advice and a podcast to check out too. I have already recommended her to two other colleagues where I work.

I came away from the Strategic Internal Communication workshop armed with so much more that I expected I would. Rachel’s extensive and invaluable knowledge and the way she shares this knowledge with everyone in the room was great. Rachel is very approachable and experienced, so that’s a win-win situation.

Saskia Dornan

What people say about All Things IC

It’s hard to put into words without sounding cheesey but the strategic comms masterclass was some of the best training I’ve ever recieved. Some times with these things you have moments of “I’ve heard that before” or “I’m already doing that” but I can honestly say that even if there was something familiar to me, Rachel approached it in a whole new way that challenged my thinking on it. I was made to feel both reassured that I’m doing all the “right” things but also pushed to think about whether they’re working and to consider new approaches and ideas. Rachel has such an easygoing way that is really inclusive and involves everyone, so you feel comfortable sharing your own experiences. She offers lots of solutions, ideas and advice too.

Rachel’s experience and style is integral to how motivational this masterclass is. I left feeling equipped and supported to do my very best by our profession. The small group number is also really great as everyone gets to exchange and learn from one another.

Rachel’s knowledge, experience and evident passion for internal communications makes this a really valuable day, well worth the investment. The course is flexible and it was great to be able to share experiences and challenges with like-minded comms pros. I came away buzzing with ideas and excited to implement what I gained from the Strategic Internal Communication Masterclass.

Rachel’s Mastermind class gives you a rare opportunity to define and dig into your biggest IC challenge, in a safe space, with other experienced IC professionals. It allows you to delve deep into the issue, understand the reasons behind it, and come away with practical ideas and tangible actions that you can use to move forward. The day will give you the space to support you but also you will meet others who you will get to know and you can support them. I highly recommend it. New friends, a lovely space, time to grow, great ideas and some lovely tools and treats to take away as well. What’s not to love.

We worked with Rachel on a training session for our team and peers in other business areas. The session was engaging and a really good whistlestop tour of what’s new/trends in the sector. Rachel is incredibly personable, she’s also very generous in opening up her network and connecting you with other Comms pros.She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise which is coupled with a very likeable manner. I look forward to working with Rachel again in the future.

We hosted an internal communication workshop and Rachel was our guest speaker. I needed an expert who could lead the session and give guidance on numerous communication challenges. She didn’t disappoint! Her passion and commitment for communication excellence is truly inspiring and the attendees left buzzing with ideas and excitement.

Rachel is one of the internal communication field’s top resources. The knowledge she shares, creates and curates is second to none. I was so proud to have her appear on an episode of ICology and it is one of the most-listened-to episodes I’ve published. And that’s a testament to how communicators value her as an industry expert.

Rachel is an engaging and knowledgable presenter. She has the valuable gift of being able to present complex subjects in a way that is easy to understand but never patronising. She has the ability to get to the heart of an issue and is very outcome-oriented. I found her organised, thoroughly, well-researched and very clear in what she would deliver. She exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Rachel.

Amanda Hepton-Patchett

What people say about All Things IC

The course covers a lot of ground but I didn’t feel rushed through or like I was being bombarded with information at any point – in fact Rachel was really good at giving us the time and freedom to talk around each topic while always managing to stay on track with the content! The tools and resources that Rachel leaves you with are invaluable and I’m already planning how to use some of them! I left the masterclass with a notebook full of notes, loads of postcards of ‘bright ideas’ and a renewed enthusiasm for making the comms in my workplace all that’s it’s meant to be!

What people say about All Things IC

Rachel is an oracle on all things Internal Communications. She is super personable, thoughtful and considered in her approach and I have really valued her insight over the past months as a consultant. I've also welcomed how her recommendations and insights are rooted in interdisciplinary understanding - drawing on psychology and data to guide and advise. She moves effortlessly from tactical considerations through to advising on strategic shifts. The Internal Communications profession is so much better thanks to her willingness to openly share, her generosity, and her ability to encourage people to bring out the best version of themselves. Thank you Rachel for being such a wonderful, and fun, person to work with and for your wise words when it's mattered most.

There are few people that everyone in this industry knows; in the UK Rachel Miller is at the top of that list. We love having her present at simply events as when Rachel talks, the audience always listen. What she says is based on the closest understanding of the challenges, fears, hopes and aspirations of Internal Comms folk so they always leave one of her presentations with something they can use the very next day....

The IC Masterclass was the best professional development session I have been to for internal communications. Rachel has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge and leaves you full of ideas and inspiration. You leave the day with theories, principles, models, real life examples and a fab little goodie bag. I have come back to my office, buzzing with ideas, and I can’t wait to put everything into action and spread the word to my team and colleagues.

Spending a day with Rachel is the equivalent of reading loads of books or attending several conferences. With her vast experience she’s able to cut through the noise and point to the things she feels are most relevant. It was a great day, I highly recommend the course and have immediately put my knowledge into action. I look forward to signing up to another one!
