Beyond the Boardroom - Creating a Culture of Conscious Collaboration
2023-02-02 18:30 - 20:00 UTC
In 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, organizations across North America made commitments to increase the diversity of their workforce, create more inclusive environments and help combat anti-Black racism. While some companies have made significant strides towards these promises, in general, the changes have been incremental at best.
In recognition of Black History Month, IABC/Toronto’s Professional Independent Communicators will host a panel discussion to explore how communication professionals – working as independents, in-house or within agencies – can create a culture of conscious collaboration. What could it look like to go beyond a social media post in recognition of the month, and enact strategies that empower Black and racialized communication professionals?
Don’t miss this opportunity to:

learn from the diverse experience of Black communication professionals across a range of industries
explore strategies for combating anti-Black racism through conscious collaboration
network to create lasting connections

The discussion will take place on Zoom. Free to all.

Misinformation: How we got here and what to do about it
2023-02-07 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Deanna Troust will share insights on how the mis/disinformation epidemic has evolved and the associated risks, based on several years of work with disinformation researchers and community members alike. She offers tips on what listeners can do to help stem the falsehoods that are currently restricting access to fact-based content for so many. Communicators have largely been left out of current solutions to disinformation, yet as experts in information channels and the content-creation process are ideally equipped to take a stand for the truth.

Deanna is founder of 3 Stories Communications, a consultancy focused on DEI-related communications and solutions to the mis/disinformation epidemic. She recently launched a new nonprofit, Truth in Common, that forwards human-centered approaches to addressing mis/disinformation that include a workshop series, newsletter, digital community and advisory services. With applications for both businesses and community groups, a key focus of Truth in Common is harnessing the power of professional communicators to help tackle this global issue.

Power and Presence: How to Step up as a Leader and Influence Your Organization
2023-02-22 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
As communicators, we’re used to supporting, equipping, and enabling leaders in our organizations. Our job is to make them look good – and become even more influential. But are we selling ourselves short in the process?
As communications professionals, we don’t always feel powerful. Many communications colleagues over the years have observed that we often don’t get the respect our expertise deserves, or the resources we need to do our job effectively.
Join this IABC Philadelphia session, where we’ll look at how we can change this:

First of all, we’ll take a quick look at the theory and what academic research tells us about leadership. What makes someone a leader? Why are some people influential and others not? What is it about them that makes other people want to like them, trust them, listen to them, and do what they say?
Second, we’ll look at leadership “presence”. The good news is that there are several core components of leadership. We’ll break these down into areas you can work on, and tangible things you can do to convey a greater sense of power with your colleagues and stakeholders.
Finally, I’ll share a framework that will help you to put these learnings into practice over the next three months.
We’ll also have time throughout the session for Q&A.

What’s Your Career Story?
2023-03-09 18:00 - 19:00 UTC
What did you want to be when you were growing up? For many of us, our careers started as a naive dream from childhood, and at some point, we broke in and started a work life for ourselves.
Our life ambitions and career journeys make us into the professionals we become. Each company, organization, and team we’ve worked with came with its own gifts, struggles, and culture. We’ve had work friends and work rivals who have allowed us to grow. And let’s not forget the business ups and downs, entrepreneurship opportunities, and economic rollercoasters we’ve faced.
All these scenarios force us to perform our craft and evolve in new ways, but we don’t always take a step back to appreciate the opportunities and challenges that led to our progress.
Well, let’s talk about it.
In this new series we’re piloting at IABC New York Tristate, we ask, “What’s your career story?” and explore the career paths of the many extraordinary people around us.
Our first guests in this conversation are Kyla Rose Simms and Adam Brayford. They are two exceptionally talented, creative, award-winning, and community-building unicorns. Both have entered their workplaces in very different ways, at some point their paths brought them to the same organization, and their careers continue to advance.
Join us to learn about their career journey and all the things that have led them to excel in beautiful ways.

Stand Up & Lead: How Thinking Like a Comedian Creates Standout Cultures (IABC NY Tristate)
2023-04-06 18:00 - 19:00 UTC
Employers and employees continue to struggle to engage teams and drive productivity in a post-COVID hybrid, work-from-anywhere world.
Many companies are adding Chief Wellness Officers or Chief Happiness Officers in an effort to bring collaboration, connection, and joy back to the workforce. Humor-led employee engagement programming has been proven to break down silos, build psychological safety, improve retention, provide a recruiting differentiator, boost bottom lines, and more! Yet, when most people hear “think like a comedian” in a professional setting, a wave of panic sets in.
In this customized program, participants won’t be transformed into stand-up comedians or learn how to tell jokes, but rather experience an introduction to innovative leadership based on the principles of humor that have turned strategic communications firm Peppercomm and others into perennial top workplaces.
In this session, attendees will learn to:
1. Redefine humor as a practical leadership skill, rather than something to be afraid of.
2. Embrace uncertainty and innovate problem-solving with simple, repeatable thinking exercises.
3. Speed the path to trust, break down silos, and streamline collaboration by utilizing the basics of “Yes, and.”

Join IABC DC Metro as we host Alyssa Cox of Blue Swift Consulting for “Leading through Vision,” the second of her two-part discussion on leadership.
Most of our organizations have a vision or a mission. It’s memorialized on websites and email signatures and wall decor all over the office. But can you articulate how your function, team, or individual role contribute to that vision? Can the people you lead? If you want to empower your team to make good decisions, they need to have the strategic context necessary to make those decisions. They need to be able to talk about how the work they do every day contributes to the mission or vision. In this workshop, we’ll do the work of drilling into your organization’s vision to define how your team contributes to realizing that vision, and how to leverage that understanding to level up your leadership and empower your teams.
