“Trust is the operative word of the century. And it’s been proven numerous times that the voices of businesses are trusted the most by employees over other sources. That’s why leaders have a huge responsibility to ensure that not only should their actions match their words, but that their words are conveyed with authenticity, integrity and impact,” said Staffbase CEO and Co-founder Martin Böhringer. “VOICES was created to enable, inspire, and equip internal communicators to support their leaders and businesses effectively. We’re convening some of the most brilliant minds in organizational psychology, business communications, and strategy with only one goal: To empower and enable internal communications experts.”
The agenda includes:
- Uncovering Hidden Potential: Communicating to Inspire Tomorrow’s Workforce: Adam Grant will draw on his books “Think Again” and “Hidden Potential” to talk about the new landscape of internal communications and how it impacts the workforce. Adam will touch on the need to rethink communications strategies when it comes to change and culture. This is a dream session for any internal communicator, and will conclude with an interactive audience Q&A.
- Harnessing the Champion’s Mindset to Foster Employee Trust & Inclusivity: Chaunte Lowe will highlight the parallels between an athlete’s journey to success and a brand’s mission for triumph. In this motivational session, Lowe will speak about the role that inspiration plays in shaping a successful brand by fostering diversity, inclusion, teamwork, and trust.
- Inspiring Change Through Effective Leadership Communications: As the Campaign Manager for President Obama, David Plouffe deeply understands the importance of resonating with an audience.
