Would any #internalcomms people running in-house podcasts be interested in an informal peer-to-peer exchange of ideas and learnings? I'm specifically interested in content strategy, but up for sharing experiences on the practical side too.

Sometimes I look around myself and wonder, why am I recording a pastiche of the Run DMC Aerosmith Walk this Way video, with a cast of dozens, entirely over MS Teams. How is this allowed? Why has no-one told us to stop? #internalcomms is a good job.

This went live today. It turns out the key to internal comms success is wigs. Lots of wigs.
I just committed the dreaded #internalcomms double-correction, where you send a correction on an all staff email/invitation, and then have to correct the correction. I will now be hibernating until Spring 2021.

Replying to @turrentPRO
In a previous company, we got our entire Tech leadership team sing a cover version of JayZ/ Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind (lyrics changed to 'now you're in IT' 🤣 & also learn a hip hop dance routine for it for end of year event. Epic times, love the fun in #internalcomms!

"This will open a can of worms" - music to my #internalcomms ears. Worms aren't supposed to be in cans. We need to open all the cans, shake the worms out, help them find their place.

The seafood you choose is more than just a drop in the ocean… By choosing the blue MSC fish label, you’re choosing #sustainableseafood that will keep the oceans thriving for future generations: via.msc.org/H0RN50A01My #BigBlueFuture #WorldOceansDay

Looking ahead to many weeks of home working, are any other #internalcomms people thinking about ways of building community on Yammer/ESNs? What's the digital equivalent if Italians singing from balconies? Would be lovely if we could share examples of ideas that work!

A week later, and Yammer is definitely busier than normal. I haven't had to push anything yet, people are organically generating conversations around coping strategies and sharing pics of pets.

We even have a home schooling group now for people to share tips and offer to run Skype sessions around subjects that appeal to kids. Lots of good community, which is what Yammer's all about. Still planning to have a run at 'view from your window' as an organised thing, soon.

"If you have to be right before you move, you will never win" - this is so relevant for #internalcomms
Wow This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too.
