In this episode, Katie welcomes back the Internal Comms Podcast’s MVP, founder and CEO of Dewpoint Communications Victoria Dew.
Back in 2022, Victoria featured on episode 61 of the podcast – our most popular yet, with 21,000 listens and counting. She returns three years later with the same incredible insights into our industry, an infectious enthusiasm for all things IC and a clear-minded view of our, at times, convoluted profession.
She also comes clutching her fascinating new report and, in this episode, Victoria and Katie discuss Connecting the frontline: Current trends, challenges, and strategic opportunities in workforce communication at length. It’s a report that addresses the successes and failures of organisations communicating with the 80% of workers who aren’t tied to a desk. And, as Victoria explains, it’s a ‘love letter to comms pros’.
They explore ‘cracking the frontline code’, the misconception that frontline workers aren’t particularly engaged, the AI-influenced changes coming down the line and a business-focused way of thinking about your comms function.

Episode 113 – Soft skill? Think again: The hard truth about storytelling
In this episode of The Internal Comms Podcast, host Katie Macaulay welcomes Jeremy Connell-Waite, Global Communications Designer for IBM, an acclaimed speechwriter and storyteller, and a performance coach for senior executives.
In this fascinating conversation, which will challenge everything you thought you knew about storytelling, Jeremy guides Katie through the concept of storytelling design – the process of drawing speeches and stories, not writing them. It’s an approach that seeks to connect on every level from the get-go.
Jeremy dives into what storytelling really is, what sets the true greats apart and how internal comms pros can change the world in 1,000 seconds (about the length of time you take for your morning coffee break). As you’ll see in our featured links, there’s stacks of inspiration to draw from, as Jeremy unpacks the genius of everyone from Aaron Sorkin to Obama’s former speechwriter, Terry Szuplat.
This is a tale of how storytelling is harder skill than you think.
