POET’s Post

LET'S DO SOME JUDGING.... 🔵 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7 Well, indeed.... 🔵 How guilty are we of judging others through the most harsh lens when we have not applied the same scrutiny to our own behaviours? 🔵 Passing judgement can be easy to do but what's harder is judging fairly. What went well and what could be improved? I am lucky enough to be one of the judges looking at entries submitted for this year's SimplyIC Awards. 🔵 Internal communication is no easy job. There's always someone or even groups of stakeholders who have nothing but bad things to say about the communication they and other colleagues receive. 🔵 But how often do they consider the usual lack of resources, budget, and team members? How many people can cut diamonds with a pair of children's scissors from WHSmith? 🔵 I'm always amazed at the valiant efforts of the many hard working and committed internal communicators doing wonderful things in many different industries and environments. It's always a pleasure and never a chore. Looking forward to the ceremony at the end of November. #awards #simplys #internalcomms

Job titles serve a purpose. Titles identify roles and responsibilities within an organization. Your title is what you do, not who you are. What defines you has been part of your story since birth. You are defined by things like your values, experiences, beliefs, motivators and other influences. What defines you is bigger than any title. Titles come and go. What defines you is constant.
