Argyro Elisavet Manoli’s Post

🇦🇺🦘I’ll soon be flying to Rockhampton, Australia for Exercise Wallaby 2024 as part of my NS for the next 2.5 weeks. 📚With some downtime expected, I figured I’d pick up a book to read — “My Political Journey” by Dr Tony Tan and Leslie Koh has thus far been an insightful experience. 💭As someone with a keen interest in policy-making and having a background in communications, I found the insights on communicating difficult policy changes to the public truly interesting… so much so that I thought I’d share some of Dr Tan’s ideas with those in my sphere: 1️⃣ The Communication Process is just as Important as the Policy itself. It’s not only important to get the policy right, but the manner in which you commmunicate it to the public matters a lot as well. You can’t just expect people to accept policy changes at face value. You have to convince them that the changes make sense and are to their benefit. 2️⃣ Feed Information in Bite-Sized & Palatable Pieces You can’t do an info dump and expect people to get it like that. You not only have to simplify pieces of information but also have to communicate them from different points of view. These can not only come from members in Parliament, but also from journalists/Op-Ed writers, or relevant and trusted stakeholders. You allow these voices to speak on the benefits of the change, each offering a slightly different emphasis or nuance that ultimately creates an understanding that these changes are for a greater good.

In the 2nd instalment of our series on which research and reports communications professionals should be reading we're highlighting the European Communication Monitor. The longest-running academic study exploring the field of corporate communications, it has been conducted annually since 2007 and is known as the largest transnational study on strategic communication worldwide. In 2024, the study design has been refocused by the renowned universities conducting the research. The ECM focuses on corporate communications in the business world. Each year, a random sample of 30 top leaders among the elite group of chief communication officers in the 300 largest companies headquartered in Europe is interviewed. In-depth insights based on statements, experiences, and forecasts from those shaping the future of the field provide unique insights into the current status and future developments of the field.

"...strategic communication in the sense of engaging in conversations that are substantial for survival and sustained success (Zerfass et al., 2018) is no walk in the park. Planning and executing communication activities with internal and external stakeholders requires a broad set of competencies, resources, structures, and processes." ECM 2023 So it's important to be aware of emerging trends and tools. Whether your title includes corporate communications, corporate affairs, public relations or simply communications, the European Communication Monitor is going to be something you'll want to read.

This in response to the question raised elsewhere on this site about how best to package yourself to sell to employers. I am not a brand. I am not a product to be packaged and sold. I am a person. Current thinking rejects the idea of people as objects to be “managed” as “target” publics – as football players are often referred to as “weapons” or basketball recruits as “big game”. Public relations has too often advanced a worldview antithetical to the common good leading to climate change, extreme weather, and social injustice. In an interconnected world, such behavior is no longer sustainable, much less justifiable. A new interpretation of public relations seeks the greater good of others (Tilson, 2021). Faith, spirituality and public relations- Toward a radical new view. Journal of Public Relations Research V. 33, Issue 4, 207-208.

I recently completed a training course in Public Relations and Media Strategy held in London and gained many skills that are compatible with my specialization.
