3. We often refuse to accept
an idea merely because the
tone of voice in which it has
been expressed is
unsympathetic to us
Friedich Nietzche
4. We all have an opportunity
to learn in everything we do
Louis V. Gerstner
5. Internal comms should not
be the poor relation to PR,
nor should it be seen as not
as important
@JenniWheller
23. The greatest problem with
communication is the illusion
it has been accomplished
George Bernard Shaw
24. Social media provides an
incredible opportunity for
internal communicators to
assert their knowledge. All public
relations programmes should
start with internal audiences
@wadds
28. Being ignorant is not so much
a shame, as being unwilling
to learn
Benjamin Franklin
29. When the trust account is
high, communication is easy,
instant, and effective
Stephen R. Covey
30. Don't use words too big for the
subject. Don't say infinitely
when you mean very; otherwise
you'll have no word left when
you want to talk about
something really infinite
C. S Lewis
31. The more that you read, the
more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the
more places you’ll go
Dr Seuss
32. Effective internal communication
puts the employee at the centre of
the organisation. Genuine, honest,
two-way dialogue forms the basis of
effective, strategic, practice
Kevin Ruck
33. When we change the way we
communicate, we change
society
Clay Shirky
34. Being ignorant is not so much a
shame, as being unwilling to
learn
Benjamin Franklin
35. You’re aiming for employees to
feel ‘good tired’ at the end of
their day. That’s a sign of
engagement
David MacLeod
