I’ve not written a blog for a few weeks as I’ve been all over the place recently, all good stuff which I will share soon.

Over the years I’ve lost count of conversations I’ve held with people about how to deal with imposter syndrome. 

The State of Profession was published this morning and it was a mixed bag of emotions for me.

Last week I presented at the National Housing Federation conference in Manchester.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, I wanted to write a blog dedicated to all the fabulous women who have come into my life, some I’m still friends with and others have moved on.

At the last Power and Influence chat with Darren Caveney the subject of CPD was discussed and what to do if you have no budget.

I was asked to be part of a panel for Charity Comms earlier this week and I spoke about my fave subject - being a #CommsRebel.

I’m not one for resolutions as I don’t think you should wait until the start of the year to make changes in your life.

Your knowledge is the only thing that no one can take away from you – this sentence was drummed into me and my sister by our parents whilst we were growing up.

Following my CIPR Chartered Practitioner Assessment I thought it might be helpful in answering some questions that people have asked or I’ve asked myself in the past.

I’ve been thinking a lot about confidence recently. It’s something I’ve always had a problem with throughout my life.

We’ve all worked in organisations where we’ve seen certain leaders promoted due to their technical skills rather than people skills, which can cause us IC folk a world of pain sometimes.

For most of my career I have worked predominately in organisations that have a large number of remote workers and it’s definitely been a huge learning curve in understanding this group of people.

Measurement – it’s a word that can cause some debate and plenty of discussion in the world of Internal Communications.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to sit down and write a blog post but I’ve had quite a busy few weeks work wise and personally so here is a bit of a life update on what’s been going on lately!

I saw a comment on Linkedin today that sent a shiver up my spine. It was in response to someone struggling to get a role in comms due to them being over experienced.

Over the past week or so I’ve been watching some comms professionals share their experiences on getting chartered with CIPR and I've been reading about how proud they were.

A slightly different blog from me this week, as I wanted to address a subject that’s been on my mind for a while.

I wrote a short blog for the wonderful people at Alive With Ideas all about Personal Branding and why it's so important to pay a bit of attention to it.
