151. Change Isn't Hard [Mel Loy]

Communication skills are rated as the most in-demand skills to navigate today's and tomorrow's complex business landscape. And it shouldn't come as a surprise because when leaders and teams aren't communicating effectively, it becomes harder to get things done. Engagement and productivity decrease, change becomes harder to implement, and reputations are damaged as trust is lost. Add facing or managing a crisis, and we are talking about the next level of challenges. Many organisations struggle to successfully implement change, drive big projects, and navigate issues and crises because they lack specialist communication skills and resources. Good thing is that we are joined by someone who isn't just specialised in effective communication but has now also published a book on 'Change Isn't Hard.' Mel Loy is the Founder and CEO of Hey Mel! Communication & Training, a small agency with big energy based in Brisbane, Australia. An international speaker and workshop facilitator, Mel has shared her love of all things communication with people from all walks of life across the globe, from Bali to Toronto, Kuala Lumpur to Sydney! She is a self-described 'serial ideator', life-long learner, and creative thinker, who loves finding ways to 'do comms differently', and really put the audience at the heart of every communication experience. Mel is also a fitness fanatic and former gym owner - she's taught group fitness classes for more than 10 years, and is also a qualified yoga teacher! Learn from Mel every week on her podcast, Less Chatter, More Matter, and weekly blog. Find out more at melanieloy.com.
