Episode 27 – Stepping up in a Crisis

This week Katie speaks to renowned communicator Shel Holtz. As listeners continue to grapple with keeping workforces informed, galvanised and feeling connected during the corona crisis, Shel shares his guidance, advice and good humour to help us all through this difficult time. Shel’s career began in communications in 1977, more than a decade before the invention of the World Wide Web. In 1994, he came up with the idea of using an intranet, a year before the word was introduced. Today, he is director of internal communications at Webcor, a commercial construction company, with offices and projects across California. In episode 27 of the Internal Comms Podcast, he shares practical advice, insight and tangible examples about communicating in what is such a crucial period for IC practitioners.
