Working in internal communications has never been easy. But right now it feels particularly relentless. Half of UK employees don't trust their CEO. Trust in senior leaders has fallen nine points in a single year. The world of work is speeding up and the people caught in the middle, trying to bridge that gap, keep the culture intact, and hold their teams together? That's us.

Sickness absence in the workplace is at its highest level in fifteen years. Change is constant. IC is not immune to this, 38% of UK communicators said their wellbeing has deteriorated in the past year. (Gallagher 2025)

Somewhere in all of that, we're expected to show up, communicate well, support our colleagues, be part of a team and still find time to look after ourselves.

Join the IOIC South West Network on 26 June 2026 for a relaxed conversation with Rebecca Williams, Communications Consultant and Leadership Coach. Based in the South West, Becky will be talking about what it really takes to thrive in IC right now. How to keep going when the direction keeps shifting. What good looks like when you're stretched thin. And what we can do, for ourselves and for each other.

How it works

This event will take place on Zoom. Once you have booked, the link to join will be in your confirmation email, or alternatively log into your website account, go to My account - Dashboard - Bookings – View Booking - Join Zoom meeting. To allow for open conversation, network events are not recorded
