The fundamentals of internal communications

Fundamentals of internal communications part one

The Communications Network is a US-based community that connects leaders from influential foundations, nonprofits and social sector consultancies worldwide, so it was great to be invited to talk to their network. During the webinar, I discuss best practices when it comes to creating effective internal communication strategies inside organisations. It’s part one of a series that focuses on the building blocks and best practices for internal communications.

In the webinar, I cover the basic principles of understanding people and the impact leading with empathy can have on your organisation.

We squeezed a lot into the hour, including:

  • The definition of internal communication
  • The six keys to impactful communication
  • Managing stakeholders and focusing on audiences
  • How to create an effective internal communications strategy.
