IOIC Ireland: Enabling leaders to communicate through change
IOIC Ireland: Enabling leaders to communicate through change
It's rarely change alone that creates resistance - it’s the confusion that comes with it. That’s where leadership communication matters most.
Join the IOIC Ireland Network for a 30-minute lunchtime learning session with Catherine Finn, IT Transformation Change and Communications Manager at the Central Bank of Ireland. Drawing on real-world experience, Catherine will explore how change communicators can move beyond messaging to actively enable leaders to show up, speak up, and lead through change.
In this practical session, you’ll learn how to:
- Position communication as a strategic driver of successful change, not just a support function.
- Enable leaders to be active, visible communicators when it matters most.
- Build genuine leadership buy-in (not just passive endorsement).
- Equip leaders with the clarity and confidence to communicate consistently and effectively.
If you’re working to make change stick - and need leaders to play their part - this session will give you practical, actionable ways to make it happen.
Why this matters
Doing great work often means navigating constraints, complexity and change. Network sessions mean you do not have to do this alone. They offer a safe and welcoming space with like-minded professionals local to you, to share stories, tips and lessons learned.
What you’ll gain
- Practical insight grounded in experience
- The chance to learn how others are tackling similar challenges
- Connection with practitioners in your local area
Who it’s for
Designed for those who want to learn through shared experience and peer connection across the Ireland Network - although the event is open to all regions.
