Episode 79 – Lifting the lid on comms consultancy

Ever considered what it takes to become an effective communications consultant? Then this week’s episode of The Internal Comms Podcast is for you. Host Katie Macaulay welcomes Simon Monger to the hot seat to discuss internal comms, change, engagement, authenticity and the power of being just that little bit disruptive. Simon has a breadth of experience in internal comms, with stints at E.ON, Transport for London, Deloitte and IKEA on his CV. Today, he’s an impactful change and engagement consultant and it’s thanks to his varied background that he’s so comfortable slipping into organisations – and shaking things up. Their conversation shines a light on what it means to be a change consultant in the comms world. Katie and Simon explore their favourite change models, Simon’s unique approach to influencing leaders and they share stories about the power of being yourself. It’s a real tonic for the soul.
