A podcast to celebrate messing up and moving on in internal communications

In this episode, we brought back all of our friends and a couple of future guests to reflect on a year gone by. 

Join Jenni Field, Rachel Miller, Annique Simpson, Benjamin Ellis, Chuck Gose, Kristen Hancock, Kyla Simms, Adam Brayford, Advita (needs no surname) Patel, Erica and Keith for the last in this season's episodes. 

In the show, we mention  Great Ormond Street Hospital in the UK, this is a special hospital that provides world-leading healthcare to children. As a way to thank and show appreciation to our guests, and especially to Rachel (who as we mentioned in our first episodes, played an important part in the success of the podcast) we have made a small donation. 

This week's show features part two of our catch up with Annique Simpson where we discuss the need for diversity in the communications industry, how we can support each other and champion the voices of those who for too long been silenced. We also talk more about the UK Black Comms network and the incredible work they are doing.

We are joined on this show by the champion of communicators and the original #CommsHero Asif Choudry. 

We caught up with Asif to find out more about the origins of the Comms Hero conference, to test his spelling (he had been practising hard) and to understand why this guy loves communicators quite as much as he does.

The terrific transatlantic duo of Jason Anthoine and Benjamin Ellis join us to talk about What Employees Want and how internal messages from leaders or “the company” are often fraught with miscommunications. We talk about findings that stand out, how employees want to hear humanity in messages, and the power of storytelling. As with every episode, we share plenty of laughs at ourselves, one another, and a few surprisingly good accents at the end.

In this week's episode, we meet the formidable Internal Communications power couple, Chuck Gose and Kirstin Hancock. We hear about B-dog (their gorgeous rescue) leftover meals being the best thing in the world and we dive right into the most heated transatlantic spelling test yet. 

Our miscommunication focus shifted a little for this show as we talk about how everything has an element of miscommunication and that the audience will ultimately tell us where we got it wrong.

The one and only Comms Rebel Advita Patel joins us for this episode of Internal Miscommunications.

This hour long special is packed full of pure wisdom and insight as Advita shares her stories of Miscommunication and recovery. 

You can find out more about Advita below.

In this episode, Jenni Field talks about how moments of miscommunications in her past triggered chaos, what she learned from those experiences and how she moved forward with a bright vision for her future of work. 

Enjoy!
