Episode 66 – Combatting IC isolation

The Internal Comms Podcast is back for what promises to be an incredible Season 8! In this kick-off episode, host Katie Macaulay welcomes ICology’s Vice President of Community and Engagement, Kristin Hancock, to the hot seat. Kristin’s official bio, “just a small-town girl, living in a fabulous world”, encapsulates her infectiously positive attitude. She staunchly believes that we are always in the right place at the right time, and has brought this ethos to corporate comms over the past 15 years. Kristin operates ICology together with her partner in both life and work, Chuck Gose. Built off the back of many IC practitioners reporting feeling isolated at work, ICology began as a podcast and has since been reimagined as a community-building tool for IC practitioners to come together, share advice and make connections. In this unique and interesting discussion, Katie and Kristin cover everything from the surprising skills that can get IC professionals in the room with the C-suite, to how we can better understand colleagues with the help of a “baggage claim” approach. Come for Kristin’s charming personality – stay for her profound wisdom.
