#CuriousMoments with Advita

It was lovely to see the Top Internal Communications Voice badge appear on my profile.

I love contributing my thoughts about how Internal Comms can support organisations to cultivate inclusive cultures through revolutionary communications.

The other day, someone called me a “Comms Influencer.” sometimes, I think I’m more of a “Comms Antagonist”, which I know is a term not many people feel comfortable using.

I love debates and discussions. I enjoy hearing different thoughts, even if I disagree with them. That’s what diversity is all about—listening to other points of view from a perspective you might not be familiar with.

I can’t tell you how many organisations I’ve worked with who struggle with difficult conversations. People call it conflict, but we need to reframe it and call it constructive conversations.

What do you think? Do you struggle with difficult conversations? Is it a challenge in the comms industry?
