IABC Fellows to Explore Dimensions of Communication Leadership

July 5, 2025 by Shel Holtz Leave a Comment

Communication leadership takes many forms, each requiring its own set of skills and vision. At its core, it involves leading a communication team—setting direction, fostering talent, and ensuring excellence in execution. On a broader scale, communication leaders play a critical role in guiding the entire organization’s messaging, advising executives, and shaping the narrative both internally and externally. Beyond the organization, communication professionals often step into industry leadership, setting standards, sharing best practices, and elevating the profession as a whole. Whether managing teams, advising the C-suite, or championing industry progress, communication leaders are essential in building trust, driving alignment, and advancing both organizational and professional goals.

At noon EDT on Thursday, July 17, you will have the opportunity to hear from four Fellows of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) as they discuss the qualities of communication leadership. Discover how communication experts drive alignment, build trust, and shape culture from the inside out. You’ll gain practical strategies and fresh insights from industry leaders, equipping you to influence decisions at the highest levels and make a measurable impact on your organization’s success.

You will be able to participate in the conversation, ask questions, and share your thoughts during the live stream. If you are unable to join us in real time, you will have access to the YouTube video and audio podcast shortly after the session concludes.
