Internal Comm Plan (ICP)

Every organization designs and implements communication plans for its customers and clients because profitability keeps the lights on. But what about your reputational security internally? Who is looking out for you and your employees?

Internal communication planning strategically outlines a unique plan that will effectively convey messages to employees. In doing so, you are more likely to retain your employees because you place their value to your mission first. 

What isn’t simple is detailing the key information to be shared starting with the most critical components unique to your organization and the methods to distribute it. Oh, and that little nuance to align everything to your company’s mission and goals. Simple, right? I specialize in three areas of your ICP.

Effective Communication

I empower organizations to enhance communication between leaders, followers, and colleagues. Using a self-awareness model, employees train together to improve teamwork and develop effective leadership skills so they feel heard.

  • Research: To understand the communication landscape, audience needs, and potential challenges.

  • Action: To develop strategic communication plans and implement effective internal communication tactics.

  • Communication: To craft clear internal communication messaging based on unique audience considerations.

  • Evaluation: Measuring the effectiveness of communication efforts and making data-driven adjustments for continuous improvement.

A successful RACE plan is the first step to achieving your organization’s goals. It is an industry-proven model that works for any organization of any size. With more than 20 years of experience, connect with Stef to conduct an ICP today!

My professional journey is rooted in strategic public relations, with a particular emphasis on proaction versus reaction. I believe that effective communication requires a deeper understanding of the impact on audience engagement. Recognizing the importance of global perspectives, I leverage my certification as a Cultural Intelligence (CQ) facilitator to integrate cross-cultural competency into all facets of my work, ensuring inclusive and impactful communication strategies.

My specialization in internal communications stems from a deep understanding of its critical role in organizational success. I am passionate about delivering tailored solutions that foster robust employee engagement, drive retention, and build resilient organizations prepared for potential crises. This includes developing proactive crisis communication plans that mitigate risk and maintain stakeholder trust. Furthermore, I contribute to leadership development by equipping leaders with the communication skills necessary to inspire and guide their teams.

In the academic sphere, I am dedicated to preparing the next generation of communication professionals. Through the implementation of client-based projects and interactive learning methodologies, I strive to bridge the gap between theory and practice. My goal is to equip students with the practical skills, critical thinking abilities, and ethical awareness necessary to thrive in a dynamic and competitive industry, empowering them to pursue fulfilling and purposeful careers.
