We continue our IC Career series, where IC practitioners share stories from their careers, with Sinead Bell. Her journey into internal communications, marked by passion and dedication, underscores the significance of exploring varied experiences to find one's niche and serves as a source of inspiration in the internal comms profession.
Niall Ryan reflects on how a secondment from retail operations to supporting comms with a transformation programme led him into a career in employee engagement – and he’s never looked back.
Simon McMurdo joined the Advanced Diploma wanting evidence to back up his instincts. He came away with a network of IC peers, sharper strategic thinking, and the confidence to advise leaders with confidence.
Emma Cash, communications business partner at British Airways, explains how frontline experience, trust and visibility shape IC across a complex operation.
Jacqueline Ryan, Senior Internal Communications Manager at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, made the move into internal communication from a science and manufacturing background, with some imposter syndrome along the way. She shares how working towards her 40 CPD points a year built her knowledge, credibility and confidence, and became a lasting habit of continuous learning.
This is the final call for IOIC members to apply for Fellowship, the profession's highest distinction. If you have ten or more years in internal communication and are shaping strategy, mentoring others or recognised as an expert in your field, now is the time to apply.
