  1. What a brilliant panel! The communications team was very persuasive, and Mark Ragan was absolutely hilarious in the role of CEO. A company should only be so lucky as to have all of you advising it on communications strategy.

  2. What a terrific format for tackling this subject. Excellent. I’m going to blog about it right now. Everyone in corporate comms/employee comms should listen to this.
