‘A moth to a flame’ is what you should be aiming to avoid when telling your ESG story. This one-hour interactive workshop will equip you to do just that. Be prepared for your palms to sweat, your eyes to blink faster and your heart to skip a beat because that’s what a great ESG story should leave you feeling. You will enter the room with an Internal Communicator mindset but will leave thinking like a marketer and a CEO.

Creativity is a vital skill for communicators as organisations strive to find more interesting, impactful approaches to communicate. This fast paced and fun but practical workshop will help you get a hold on your creativity and give you the ways to kick-start new ideas and maybe start a movement of innovative thinking. Many companies claim to be innovative, but they don’t always have what it takes to create a culture and environment that lets ideas and creativity thrive. We’ll explore how to do it.

Businesses are dealing with a more complex and complicated workforce than ever before, and understanding the difference between the two is essential for effective employee engagement.

Communicators are the key to simplifying the challenges faced. This interactive session will encourage delegates to examine how they can be who they need to be in order to deepen the communications experience for business leaders.
