@IoICNews Find the people who really WANT to be advocates. Seek them out! Authentic storytelling shines from the willing volunteers, not the people leaders say should do it. Get a candid story told and both the product and the employee will shine.

@itskeithriley Over the moon for your guys. Xxx

Judging the @IoICNews awards today and have to say reading the entries has got me excited to get back in the game next month! What great categories and entries. Thanks for having me a part of this @IoICNews #internalcomms

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

Hard to believe it’s almost a year since this incredible moment. I was merely hours after giving birth. All the feels! What a life changing year. Excited to say that it’s sparked so much gratitude and lots of ideas. Few things brewing, watch this space!

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

This evening I took on a new role, I met my son for the first time as he arrived a few weeks’ early. We’ve had a long road to get here but it has been so worth it. From comms to motherhood, excited to see what the next year brings in this new chapter x

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

In just over three weeks I return to work after 51 weeks of mat leave. Feeling sad, relieved, grateful and excited all at once! Over the moon I had such an incredible first year with my son but ready to get back doing what I love. #internalcommunications #comms

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@VanessaSanyauke @SarahMcRyan @DesboroughSch @Ofstednews God that is so scary. Really hope they get support and that your friend’s son is ok. This is very serious.

@mrsjennifield The amount of times a stakeholder asks me to measure engagement in their programmes and I’ve to explain why that’s not what IC do is insane!

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@clhubes Well done! Have a nine month old and not sure I’ll ever be ready for a second. You are doing great. Keep going. It will get easier. It is tough (don’t let weird men on this thread say otherwise). Your struggles are valid but there will be good times ahead xxx

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@mrsjennifield This is mega Jen! So exciting

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

This is such wonderful news! @AllThingsIC 🩵🩵🩵🩵

[Rachel Miller, All Things IC @AllThingsIC]

The news is out! I exclusively revealed some news with #AllThingsICLive attendees today. @KoganPage has invited me to write a book on Internal Communication Strategy. It features my MILLER framework & is due out in April 2024. Cover is being designed, I’m manifesting teal 💚

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

On a comedy crash course with @funnywomen this week and a big learning is that even in corporate comms, the transferable skills from working with all levels of employees are so adaptable. It’s just about finding your niche and what excites you. Don’t ever feel stuck!

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

Love Ben! Also as a die hard #paddingtonbear fan I can’t not hear the bear 😂

[BAFTA @BAFTA]

The brilliant Ben Whishaw thanks his This Is Going To Hurt cast and crew as he accepts his Leading Actor BAFTA.

Finally got to finish #manifest by @roxienafousi So glad I did. If you’re struggling with where to start on getting clear on your goals and life vision, I highly recommend this for some tactics

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

Doing a few KIT days this week before I return from mat leave at the end of July. It’s been great to get a snippet of working life as a first time mum. Missing my boy but loving the freedom of getting a solo coffee and no time limits 😂 #firsttimemum #kitdays #internalcomms

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

In this episode of my mid life crisis, I’m doing a comedy course next week. For what? To laugh if anything.

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@danflower_ Love this. I’ve been asking myself these questions so much, and it’s so nice to know many others are too.

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@adamdriver85 So funny! 😂😂😂 “live, breathe internal comms!” I enjoy my job, but I live and breathe my husband and child, seeing friends and family, good walks; laughter. Ya get the jist. #worktolive

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

This is a live job advert from a very well known insurance company. I know it’s an attempt to be trendy but can we not? Can’t wait for it to be cool to promote work life balance more in job specs. Ya know ones that don’t ask you to think about comms while eating and sleeping…

[Jan Fitzgerald @acommsplace]

@adamdriver85 Eh no thanks! How about “be passionate about internal comms in your contracted working hours” and then eat and sleep whatever you wish for good health! 😂
