Ownership friction between Marketing & Comms is real. Brand. Social. Thought leadership. Storytelling. Overlap is inevitable—so stop competing & start collaborating. Ego is the enemy. The business should win. How do you handle it? #CorpComms #PR #InternalComms

I sat in a room where everyone spoke fluent acronym … except me. EBITDA, OKRs ... huh? So, I googled and studied. I asked better questions. Over time, execs ASKED FOR my thoughts in the room. Then, I BECAME an exec. To every comms pro who's felt out of place ... keep building. #CommsLeadership

Reminder: Every request a Comms. Leader gets is “a priority” to someone. BUT Comms Leaders look at COMPANY priorities ... not just one person or one team’s. Saying no protects budget, time, and audience attention. We’re not here for popularity. We’re here to make an impact. #corpcomms

Communications Business Advisors. Never Communications Waitresses. Because if I was a man, I'd be the man. Let's elevate the field and the women in it, shall we? www.raisethetide.com #RaisetheTide #PR #publicrelations #corporateCommunications #InternalCommunications #InternalComms

No one teaches you how to be a VP of Comms But once you're there, you're expected to have all the answers … And now you're alone. So where do you go? You go to a fellow Communications expert to get another view. Because you can't see the label when you're in the jar. #CommunicationsLeadership

All feedback is not good feedback. Yet we've been taught to not get "defensive" when we're given feedback.

How do you advocate in an oversimplified field like Communications when you're a woman? If you push too hard, you're labeled as aggressive. Here's how: You join your crew through Raise the Tide. You don't need to change to lead. Shape an environment that allows you to lead instead.

Just a reminder: All of this you’re seeing (or avoiding) on the news was preventable. Voting matters.

Comms people think they need more staff, budget, new tech, etc. What they REALLY need is agency over their own decisions. To be treated as the advisors they are. To have people trust that you’re the expert . . . and that YOU believe it in every fiber of your being.

Communications professionals are business advisors, not communications waitresses there to take your order.

Hi Communications & PR crew! 👋 I’m here and as usual, I’m sure I’ll have a whole lot to say. If you don’t like it, blame @pheadrick.bsky.social and the FOMO he created over on LinkedIn. Let’s see what we can do over here to elevate our field and the people in it; eh? Off we go …
