Today, get ready for an insider's look at the evolution of organizational communication with Shel Holtz.
Shel brings more than 40 years of organizational communications experience to our conversation, currently serving as director of Internal Communications at Webcor, a California commercial general contractor.
What makes Shel's perspective so valuable is his deep commitment to internal communications. He's been exploring and refining this specialty for decades - authoring books on the topic, blogging extensively about it, and featuring it prominently in his 17-plus-year-old podcast "For Immediate Release," which holds the distinction of being the first and longest-running communications-themed podcast.
He is the author of several books including "Corporate Conversations" which has helped shape how organizations approach internal communications and "How to Do Everything with Podcasting."
As co-founder of the FIR Podcast Network, he saw the potential of digital storytelling long before most of us even knew what a podcast was. After running his own communications consultancy for 21 years, working with Fortune 400 companies, and becoming an ABC-accredited business communicator, Shel understands what it takes to cut through the clutter and make messages that truly resonate.
