Hi, there.
It’s Independence Day weekend in the US and, if you are in the northern hemisphere, you are probably dealing with one of the most brutal heat waves in recent times.
So, if you are planning to stay indoors, cool, and hydrated, here’s some weekend reading for your entertainment, plus some helpful info:
A lot of folks ask me about being more active on LinkedIn. I wrote a piece with some underrated tips to up your LinkedIn game.
Every few weeks, I meet with a small group of communicators to talk about how to use AI in comms. I wrote an article with my key takeaways from the last meeting we had.
Ragan will be hosting their “Future of Communications Conference” in Austin TX, from Nov. 11-13, and I got a discount code for you. If you are interested in going, check out these resources to learn more and use the code “Daniel200” when purchasing your ticket for a discount.
Strategic and IABC are hosting the next “Communication Leadership Summit” in Washington on October 16. This event promises no keynotes, powerpoints or canned panel discussions, but a facilitated one-day conversation where the participants drive the discussions. Tickets are $299, with discount tickets available for IABC Members and Strategic Members at $249. I may make an appearance.
In case you haven’t seen it, I built an evergreen database with resources for communicators. The resource includes recommendations on people to follow, people who have expressed their interest to be mentors to other communicators, people who share #CommsJobs, and communities for communicators. Also, if you want to be added, please sign up here.
If you didn’t know, I dedicate my Friday lunch break to connect with fellow comms pros. If that works for you, let’s do it! There's a bit of a waitlist though. dates are taken all the way into August, but I just opened dates from September to December. Click here if you want to connect 1:1.
If you’re a communicator based in NJ or Southeastern PA, let's meet up! I’m organizing an in-person gathering on Thursday, July 30 from 5–8 p.m. ET. Location is still TBD, depending on how many people sign up, but it will be somewhere in Central NJ / Southeastern PA. If you're interested in joining, please sign up here.
A few of you have asked me about beehiiv vs Substack. I like beehiiv a lot better and they’ve been shipping a lot of new cool features lately. If you are looking for a platform for content creation, I highly recommend it and have a discount for you so you can try it out. You’ll get a 14-day trial + 20% OFF for 3 months.
We got some cool #CommsJobs from the community:
