I agree @SketchGrp - Tell more stories!

#Communication without #storytelling is like making a pie without the filling. It helps engage your audience with what you need to say.

[Sketch Group @SketchGrp]

So many insights and practical tips in yesterday's @IABCAPAC webinar from @Soundbyte11 on storytelling for leadership. It's so true that facts and figures just don't get cut through. Tell more stories, people! 😁

It's so easy to withdraw when you're struggling. This is a great initiative by Mentally Healthy and shows we are not alone in the struggles we face. A recommended read for anyone in the #communication, #media, #creative and #marketing sectors.

[IABC Asia-Pacific @IABCAPAC]

For many #professionalcommunicators talking about the things affecting our #mentalhealth is not easy. To change this, Mentally Healthy has released Heart on my Sleeve which shares how recent events have affected other #communication leaders. https://t.co/jHsQyVuhTy #IABCAPAC

‘The hashtag serves to pollute the national discussion of the Victorian COVID-19 outbreak.’ Some food for thought from @Timothyjgraham on the spread of misinformation through #socialmedia.

[Tim Graham 🌻 [email protected] @timothyjgraham]

Glad to contribute this latest article to The Conversation about a problematic moment for #COVID19Victoria and #auspol this week.

"This Aussie guy did this thing that I’ve never seen before, which was to ask for 'proof'. It was astonishing"

@kristych Sounds like it was a great chat! I’ll try and hop on to next week’s catch up. 😀

An #accurate guide to #Victorian government press conferences in a COVID-normal world.

[David Milner @DaveMilbo]

Here's the cheat sheet for the Dan Andrews presser:

11am = not terrible
After 12pm = bad
Wearing a suit = real bad news
Sports jacket = moderately bad news
Northface jumper = it's the weekend
Wearing a suit on the weekend after 12pm = shit's fucked

SJ Paterson returns with an ode to an unmasked crusader (with apologies to all the good Karens out there).

What makes this more interesting is that the insights are based on feedback from communicators across #APAC. Worth a read for everyone with an interest in professional communications.
