You are responsible for enabling lasting culture, engaging employees and ensuring communications from leadership are effective.

Creating Shared Understanding and Alignment Part 1: Why We Need Clear Leaders
Speakers: Zora Artis & Wayne Aspland, The Content Factory

What’s an organization? Look up the dictionary and you’ll find it’s simply an organized group of people working to achieve a common goal or purpose. And, what’s a team? Well, it’s basically the same thing. That’s easy enough. But, here’s the issue. If that’s the definition, then most businesses in the world today don’t come close to being real organizations or teams.

From Communications Leader to Business Leader
Speaker: Catherine Ducharme, Co-Founder, Fluency Leadership

Massive disruption and pervasive uncertainty vaulted the communications role and contribution right on stage, under the brightest of lights, in 2020. Never before have communicators been so valuable to their organizations, earning new equity as connectors, trusted advisors, employee advocates and thoughtful communicators. It has handed us a once-in-a-career opportunity to leap from strategic advisor to influential business advisor. The question now is how do we sustain and maximize this opportunity? 

No More Town Hall Meetings and Other Evolutions in Leadership Communications
Speakers: Elizabeth Williams, Co-founder, The Academy of Business Communications; Andrew Brown, Co-founder, Academy of Business Communications

Let's face it, most employee town hall meetings are pretty terrible. Even before the pandemic forced our leadership teams to find the mute button, filling a room full of people and talking at them for hours on end was really not working in most organizations. It's time we got our leaders off the hamster wheel of roadshows and all-hands meetings and started helping them build trust, engagement and purpose that sticks.

Leading with Our Values AI and Internet of Behavior
Speakers: Joanne B. Henry, President, PR for Good; Donna Itzoe, Senior Vice President of Communications and Marketing, Global

The Internet of Behaviors (IoB) is the holy grail for communicators like us – those who care about what our audience does, not what they say they are going to do. Suddenly, all the tools to track behavior from REM sleep to eating habits, eco-buying , employee health habits and supplier relationships are in the palm of our hands. How could we NOT use this wealth of information to recruit and retain employees and to create AI driven products and services that improve our bottom line – if not the world!?
