Effective Leadership During and After a Crisis Like COVID-19
Wednesday, June 10, at 11 a.m. PDT

Effective leadership during and after the COVID-19 crisis will largely determine what organizations, companies and communities emerge from this crisis in a position of strength from an economic, social, mental and health point of view and who will emerge in a far weaker position. Join this diverse panel of crisis comms experts to explore their experiences, what they have learned and what they gleaned firsthand as they managed difficult, and in some cases, life and death circumstances.

Introduction to the Modern Intranet in the Age of COVID-19
Tuesday, 9 June, at 11 a.m. PDT

Organizations are realizing that Zoom and Slack aren’t enough to connect an all-remote workforce to the broader company. As social distancing continues, organizations must provide a source of truth for employees and keep everyone connected or risk confusion and disengagement. Meet Simpplr, the easiest way to connect and align remote employees. Simpplr is the modern employee intranet that helps companies streamline communications and provide a source of truth.

Silicon Valley IABC kicks off the fall season in high gear with an engaging presentation by Barbara Fagan-Smith, CEO of ROI Communication and Chief Catalyst for Living ROI. Barbara will talk about how each of us has the power to reshape the workplace and culture by applying five key strategies: clearly communicating and setting expectations, embracing a more compassionate approach to business, tapping into and trusting your intuition and gut, taking care of yourself, and supporting each other throughout our personal and professional journeys. Barbara will share anecdotes and examples from her life as a corporate professional all the way to an entrepreneur. It doesn’t matter how large your organization is, or where you are in it, these principles apply.

Join us Tuesday, October 16, from 6:00-8:00pm. Our thanks to NetApp for generously hosting this event!
