"Redefining Communications with Jenni Field"
The internal communication & leadership podcast to help shift you and your organisation from chaos to calm.
This podcast is for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about communication, culture and employee experience. Whether there are seven or 7,000 people in your organisation, communication has a role to play to make things more efficient and engaging. Across five seasons we have covered hybrid working, mergers and acquisitions and the role of credibility in leadership. In each bitesize episode (less than 20 minutes), I share my thoughts on a specific topic and give practical advice you can implement in your workplace.
Each episode is no more than 20 minutes long and provides a quick burst of insight and inspiration! I hope you find time to listen and subscribe. Please get in touch and let me know what you think or leave me a review.
“Full of practical advice, fantastic research and it makes you think about the way you manage communications in your business. It’s a must-listen for all leaders and business owners!”
