The growing mistrust in agreed-upon facts and a global decline in trust of all forms of media accelerated in 2020.

IABC Executive Director Peter Finn sat down with Catherine Ducharme, ACC, CLC, co-founder of Fluency Leadership, career communicator, past chair of the IABC International Executive Board and opening keynote speaker at the IABC 2021 Leadership Institute.

While the changes I need to make won’t happen overnight, the Accelerate program reconnected me with why I love communications and why it matters.

There’s never been a better time to elevate the internal communication function. It’s doable, but it will require bigger, bolder and broader action than ever before.

So, you think we’re experiencing change? Think again. It’s much more than that. We’re living through nothing less than a total realignment of society. What does that mean for communication professionals?
