How can internal communication professionals help leaders build trust, embrace change and lead with greater agility?

The Institute of Internal Communication (IoIC) is bringing together senior internal communication professionals for The leadership work of Internal Communication, an event exploring the challenges of influencing leadership, building trust and navigating organisational change.

We’re delighted that Karen Sandland, CEO of the Agile Business Consortium, will be delivering an interactive workshop exploring the question: “Your teams are agile. Is your leadership?”

Drawing on insights from over 70 organisations involved in the Agility Impact Awards 2026, Karen will explore what effective leadership looks like in an ever changing world. She’ll share practical ideas to help internal communicators influence leaders, connect organisational strategy with employee experience and drive meaningful change.

Join Karen to discover how leading with agility can build stronger teams, inspire trust and create lasting organisational impact.
