Tomorrow, my newsletter will answer this question from a follower: "Hi Joanna, the comms team in my organisation are a bunch of exceptionally talented, creative, emotionally intelligent, fabulous people but the company doesn’t really see the value in the team and our colleagues don’t really understand how our team can truly make a difference. I love, love reading your LinkedIn posts and getting your insights as my only goal is to be the best at IC as a I can and make some bloody good impact wherever I’m working! How can we help the organisation understand the value of internal comms?" Brilliant question and one that comes up all the time. Want my advice?

You will never hear another person’s voice more than you hear your own. This is one of my favorite discussion points from my breakout at this week’s PR & Comms Summit. I had the opportunity to host a session about all-things-Executive Presence, and the room full of engaging, curious and supportive comms leaders blew me away (as did the Florida humidity). Among other powerful topics, we talked about being obsessively intentional about the way we speak to ourselves and about ourselves, because… well, we’re listening! If you wouldn’t say it about your best friend, don’t say it about yourself. Here’s an example: Let’s say, you make a mistake. Your first reaction is to say: 🗣️“Gosh, I’m so stupid!” The problem is… Your mind doesn’t know you’re being facetious. What you teach your brain when you say that: “You’re not smart. You’re not capable. You’re an imposter.” Instead, speak about the reality of the situation without talking down to yourself. Say things like: 💬“I messed up!” 💬“Well, there’s a learning opportunity.” 💬“I’ll figure out how to avoid that next time.” What you teach your brain when you say things like that: “This situation isn’t ideal. You are capable of learning and growing. You got this.” This takes practice and accountability. Ask a friend or colleague to help you break the habit of negative self-talk, and offer to do the same for them! You got this. #PRCommsSummit #FPRA #FocusForward2024 Central West Coast Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association (CWC-FPRA) Florida Public Relations Association (FPRA)

Societal, media, and cultural changes have made skilled public relations and communications professionals more important to organizations than ever before. Those same dynamics are also making what they do more difficult. PR and communications pros who use research to gain a deeper understanding of the stakeholders, industry, and landscape that impact their efforts are more likely to be successful. But matching the right research approach to project type and phase isn't always obvious. Below is a primer and guide on selecting the research approach that's most likely to add value to common PR and communications projects. Contact us if you'd like this guide in a PDF format.
