@CommsChat Common comment I’ve received – ‘don’t use your iPad whilst in a meeting’ – my reply: ‘I’m multi-tasking actually’ #commschat
-
What we need: big space for aprx 175 people, plus 5-6 breakout spaces London, 28/6. All ideas welcomed. Thank you v much #commschat
-
But don’t forget – 28 June. London. Yaks. #thebigyak #commschat
-
As for us at #commschat, it’s that time of night again and I’ll be signing off shortly. We’ll have the transcript up tomorrow for perusal…
-
If anyone can help out with the venue issues, direct your comments to @theICcrowd, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it #commschat
-
I’m looking forward to this year’s edition and I’d like to thank @theICcrowd for contributing tonight. #commschat
-
Our #thebigyak venue fell through few days ago (eek). However, we are confident the crowd can help us make it happen #commschat.
-
As a #thebigyak veteran, I can’t recommend enough snatching up a ticket before they’re gone. #commschat
-
We are after some advice from the crowd pls. We’re shortlisting #thebigyak venues & love to know if anyone could offer theirs? #commschat
-
@how_IC_it @CommsChat To this day (and it was less than 6 months ago) the comment still makes me rage inside! #commschat
-
Sorry, had to jump away from the chat for a bit. #CommsChat
-
@jenniwheller @CommsChat Ouch! Cos everyone loves enforced change #commschat
-
A6) Advice for the crowd – a new batch of #thebigyak tickets are released 9am tomorrow morning: http://www.theiccrowd.com/ticket/ #commschat
-
Just about to wrap up here on a lively and interesting #commschat. Still taking best/worst comms advice for another few minutes…
-
@CommsChat worst advice? ‘I’ve done your job, so I know exactly how to communicate’ (from a non comms, client side person!) #CommsChat
-
@how_IC_it @CommsChat ahhh the special smile… 😉 ^RM #commschat
-

@commsbird The book "Open Space Technology" is a good introduction @theICcrowd #commschat
-
A6) Advice – don’t just pile on new comms channels, think about what you can retire. Reduce the level of noise to provide clarity #commschat
-
Best Advice: Trust your employees. When you do you will be amazed at the results #commschat
-
@CommsChat @theICcrowd I responded with my special smile 😉 then made darn sure others around her were convinced otherwise #commschat

Brill! RT @DebsWhittingham: @CommsChat you have two ears & one mouth, use them in that ratio #commschat
-
@commschat worst advice: we don’t need to train managers on how to use the new online tool – they have no choice but to use it #commschat
-
@CommsChat do your audience research before starting any piece of work…eg why? before how/when? Avoid busy fool syndrome! #commschat
-
@CommsChat "Close your laptop when I’m speaking". Urgh. https://medium.com/lets-make-organisations-better/27d682833d21 … #commschat
-
@CommsChat best advice received = don’t cling on to ideas – share them and use the feedback to develop them #commschat
-
@CommsChat or "I can talk therefore I can communicate!" #commschat
-
YIKES! How did you respond @how_IC_it @CommsChat #commschat
-
Can also be a sign of a martyr > “@PaulSummerhill: @CommsChat Weekend shows commitment, enthusiasm #commschat”
-
@CommsChat A6 If I disagree with you but we still go with ur idea u better believe we will test, analyse & evaluate in 3-6 months #commschat
-
@CommsChat Worst advice? I was told that focusing comms skills training on line mgrs rather than Board was "career limiting" 😀 #commschat
-
Arrived at Victoria, now to get home with an impending #tubestrike. See you soon #commschat peeps

@CommsChat "you have two ears & one mouth, use them in that ratio #commschat
-
A6) Get to know as many ppl as poss in your org – all levels/locations. You need eyes & ears everywhere to know reality of biz #commschat
-
Thinking: @CommsChat: Last topic..T6: What is the best or worst comms-related advice you’ve ever given or heard? #commschat
-
@CommsChat worst was ‘sometimes we just have to say yes, even if we know it won’t work’. Safe to say I disagreed strongly #commschat
-
@theICcrowd would be great to have more #localgov #commschat folk join us in June!
-
@CommsChat A6) my best is still "If you accept it you have to expect it" #commschat
-
Last topic, it’s an important one!: T6: What is the best or worst comms-related advice you’ve ever given or heard? #commschat

@CommsChat @theICcrowd weekend date means u really want to be there & are committed to learning, the #bigyak was amazing #commschat
-
@CommsChat if you’re truly committed and passionate about what you do then a weekend date is irrelevant. I think about it 24/7! #commschat
-
@steve_murg that may have also been caused by all the sugar in the swag bags… 🙂 #commschat
-
@CommsChat while I’m keen, some people like to keep weekends free for time with the family. i completely understand that #commschat
-
A5) There’s never going to be a date to suit everyone, but a (hopefully) sunny Saturday helps! #commschat
-
@theICcrowd High energy and felt a bit Breakfast Club (in a good way) #commschat
-
We never slap ads on or before your videos. Ever. Get Vimeo PRO and showcase your videos in glorious clutter-free HD. http://bit.ly/1hQUFUq
-
@theICcrowd Agree with that, everyone was buzzing last year! #commschat
-
@CommsChat @theICcrowd a5 nope, weekend date is very helpful to me – location proves more of a problem often :-/ #commschat
-
@CommsChat Not me … But I can see others that it would ? #commschat
-
🙂 Excellent! MT @commsbird New to #commschat conversation & loving it. Great to connect with other comms peeps & discuss IC stuff

@matthewpartovi @CommsChat Completely agree, need to do that ASAP! #commschat
-
A5) Weekend date also means energy level is high – you’re there because you really want to be. That’s what we found last yr #commschat

New to the #commschat Monday night conversation and loving it. Great to connect with other comms peeps and discuss IC stuff @theICcrowd

“@CommsChat: Has anyone used the unconference format for events? What do you think of it? #commschat” cc @sterling_amanda interesting
-
@CommsChat Weekend shows commitment, enthusiasm and may help release the shackles of 9 to 5 thinking #commschat
-
@CommsChat Absolutely not. Weekend is more attractive as don’t lose working time #commschat
-
@CommsChat not me it’s far enough in advance to plan, and if you’re genuinely interested you’ll find a way @theICcrowd #commschat
-
@CommsChat A4: A reduction in the use of acronyms 😉 #commschat
-
A5) Weekend date chosen for many reasons, not least (& because free to attend…) means charity comms pros can come #commschat
-
@CommsChat encouraging staff to use even basic channels like web/social media to end the "we weren’t told about that" culture #commschat
-
@theICcrowd Success! Looking forward to catching up on #commschat Also 2nd @danslee @darrencaveney for #unconference blog posts & info
-
T5: Does a weekend date put you off coming to an unconference? #commschat
-
A4) We could have a "Whoops-board" at #thebigyak for anonymous comms howlers to be posted – if anyone feels brave enough 🙂 #commschat
-
How to find new and relevant ways to engage, inspire and motivate up to four different generations of staff within one workplace #commschat
-
@CommsChat Ownership. That IC is everyone’s responsibility not just comms Team #commschat
-
That’s a great idea @how_IC_it – asking rising stars/grads to facilitate unconf sessions. Anyone else tried this? #commschat
-
A4: Yes, @theICcrowd I want to know more about the failures. The oops! The, if I only knew rather then successes! #commschat

@CommsChat How to support line managers in a way that’s meaningful – and beneficial to them and their teams #commschat

@jenniwheller @amandacomms @CommsChat Evening, just landed back in the UK. On the train to Victoria so might as well #commschat
-
@KellyQHicks thanks for joining in Kelly. Good luck nabbing a @localgovcamp ticket #commschat
-
@amandacomms @CommsChat U R right. I’m starting 2 do a lot of that with my team & we’re getting loads out of it. Raising our game #commschat
-
Apologies for just dropping out of #commschat but, funnily enough, am poised to try and nab an @LocalGovCamp #unconference ticket
-
@theICcrowd and finally asking rising stars / grads to facilitate unconference sessions is great way to raise their profile #commschat
-
@CommsChat how we can affect real business change…invert the pyramid, destroy bad cultures and rebuild good ones! #commschat
-
@theICcrowd A mix of planned and unconference is good way to balance crowd-led content and placate stakeholders 2/3 #commschat
-
@CommsChat to me the value of in-person events is meeting people and ideas that I would not otherwise come into contact with #commschat
-
“@CommsChat: T4: What areas of #IC would you like to see addressed by your peers and colleagues? #commschat” #IC is #InternalComms here!
-
@CommsChat I’d love an answer on how to communicate and engage with remote/mobile/offline audiences that really works #commschat
