We love talking to Steve Crescenzo because where else can you gain practical, actionable comms advice through a conversation that includes a pet rabbit on the loose, (not) tolerating our spouses under COVID-19 quarantine, and leadership communications hostage videos? Steve and his wife and partner Cindy have had front row seats to the comms-coronavirus crisis response through their business, Crescenzo Communications. Steve joined the EE Voice podcast to talk about all they’ve learned – from the two things you must do to step up your internal comms leadership to the office culture shifts we’re witnessing that he predicts are irreversible.

Today we have a special episode of EE Voice: Mark Dollins (friend, comms pro and a former EE Voice guest) and I recently conducted a webinar to discuss the value of employee communications during COVID-19 — as well as share best practices and helpful hints during this crisis. We wanted to offer another way for you to access this information, so this is the slimmed-down audio of the main presentation. You can view the full webinar — including slides and audience polling — at biznology.com.

The webinar was hosted by Consultants Collective and moderated by its manager director, Jen McClure.

Please let us know if Sharon and I can provide any additional help or advice during this challenging time.
