Passionate about corporate communications and organizational leadership. Servant-leader in training. Slight obsession with chocolate and triathlons.

#iabc2023 #iabc23 Kimberly Goode shared there’s a ton of ways/channels to communicate, but there is still only 24 hours in the day; strategy, using data, and prioritizing are key @IABC world conference

[Jenni Field @mrsjennifield]

The average open rate for internal emails is 22.86%.

Employees only read about 59% of the email content sent to them #IABC23

Thanks to @MoniqueZytnik and @mklein818 for a “super” confidence-boosting session to close the conference! #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Thanks, #IABC22, for wrapping the second day with such a diverse (in multiple ways) panel. It is not often I experience panels with 3/4 women. #MoreWomenOnPanels

I want to be @sinickasa when I grow up. Wish it had been a two hour session (or more!) so I could sponge up some more knowledge! #IABC22

[Joanne Kazmierski @JoanneKaz]

Angela Sinickas wowed the room with her energy and guidance to execute surveys to secure data to improve communication processes! #IABC22 #IABC

[J Wilson @JWilson4JW]

Your behavior is your communication.
Woo! #IABC22 @DanGregoryCo @ThinkKieranF @IABC

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Anchor a creative idea to something familiar to mitigate risk and increase the chance of buy-in. @ThinkKieranF @DanGregoryCo #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Look beyond the generic if you want to cut through the clutter. You’re more in danger of being invisible than controversial, says @ThinkKieranF @DanGregoryCo #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Success in the marketplace is determined by the value we create above and beyond the expected. @ThinkKieranF @DanGregoryCo #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

The problem with information overload is not that people make the wrong decision, it’s that they’re paralyzed. @ThinkKieranF @DanGregoryCo #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Context matters when you’re presenting data to your leaders. A lot. Explain why things have changed, what it means, what you recommend, and what they can expect if they follow your recommendation. Helps cement your value. @robinrox #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Inspired (as always) by @shelholtz and his meta verse wisdom. Thinking maybe I need to follow my 9 year old’s lead more on this, and join in with her! #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Email is like cockroaches 🤣 @shelholtz #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Love this term from @mrsjennifield “Trojan mice” in reference to making progress in your organization a tiny bit at a time. #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

If you’re not careful, you could listen only to the loudest voices in your organization. Remember to listen to the quiet voices, too. @fxshaw #IABC22

"Comms has a good 360-degree view to drive inclusiveness in convening the right people for conversations" - Frank Shaw going strong at #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Part of our job is to be a convener. Are we being inclusive? Are all the right people in the room? This is a powerful position to be in, says @fxshaw #IABC22

[Michelle Bennett @BennettBeats]

Why should the comms person speak out? @fxshaw encourages us to find our voice so we can earn our place in “the room” #IABC22

[Ann-Marie Blake @ACHOOGIRL]

Over 20 years in communication friends and family have no idea what I do. Hoping Frank Shaw of Microsoft will be able to explain #IABC22
