Today's episode of The Comms Careers Podcast is a personal and very insightful conversation with Jennifer Sproul, CEO of the Institute of Internal Communication.

With an incredible understanding of the world of communication, Jen's perspectives are golden nuggets. We talked with her about:

- The unusual, yet highly valuable, building blocks of Jen's career to becoming CEO

- The key ingredients she recommends to enhance your career path

- How not to be an expert, yet be really confident in what you do

- Why a shift from job roles and titles to skills and curiosity is what progressive organisations and people will value

- Why she believes relationships are a fundamental element of professional success

- What personally surprised Jen about the IC Index Report 2023 findings and what needs to be done to resolve this problem.

And, as always, so much more!
