Happy Friday, IC-ers! We're stepping into the weekend with this wisdom from Kim Clark on #TheICPodcast in our hearts. "Push back is feedback" We have to step out of our echo chambers to create fully considered, inclusive messaging that considers other worldviews and offers the chance to educate, share and have real, two-way dialogue. Here's hoping as we head into next week, we do so as active listeners who can use feedback – positive and negative – to build workplaces for all. Listen to Kim's episode in full where you get your podcast. Quick links all in here: https://lnkd.in/eqxNggZh #InternalComms #IC
