Throughout my career, I’ve heard it time and time again: “Can you push out a team email about [update] next week?”
Most leaders think of internal communications as just tactics—send an email, host a town hall, push out a Slack message. But here’s the thing: truly impactful internal comms isn’t just about what you say.
It’s about how, when, and why you say it. And that’s what Beyond the Memo is all about.
This newsletter exists because effective internal comms doesn't come from a single message—it comes from a holistic, thoughtful strategy.
A good one can engage employees, build trust, and drive real business impact. A bad one? Well… we’ve all received those “FYI” emails that land with a thud.
You’re here because you care about effective internal communication. You know it’s more than one off emails or Slack posts. It’s about creating clarity, building trust, and driving real engagement within your organization.
