7. FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS
“Thanks much Aniisu for the very insightful workshop. It was a great learning
hearing experiences from everyone in the room.”
-Shiwani Varma Vyas, AdityaBirla Minacs
“For a moment, your workshop seemed like the center of the Internal
Communication world, with professionals converging from every corner of
India to have conversations around Internal Communication and to discover
for themselves–a rich lode of industry insight! The value, for me, in Internal
Communication 101 workshop lay in its ability to meld research, insight and
theory into one vibrant learning experience. The practical exercises
simulated real-life work environments. And for every participant, there were
valuable communicationtakeaways. I highly recommend your workshops to
any seeker of knowledge in Internal Communication. And, I personally look
ahead to the new learning spaces you will create for communicators
worldwide.
- Joseph Fernandez, UST Global
“What I liked most about this workshop is that it spelt loudand clear that
Internal Communications has arrived. Now young communicators can look
up to a very happening career with internal communications. It was the
convergence of very talented people from the industry and I came away with
a lot of value – an action packed day focused on communications. I look
forward to more of these from Aniisu.”
-Anney Unnikrishnan, Allianz Cornhill InformationServices (Trivandrum,
Kerala)
“The workshop was an amazing experience and an eye-opener in terms of
the diversity in internal communication practices across industries and
organizations. I have learned as much from my peers at the workshop as
from Aniisu‟s insights and exercises. Too bad it got over so soon! Would
have loved to have a discussion on social media as well. I would definitely
love to attend the next one.”
“Hi Aniisu Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on the success
of your second workshop! It was a great experience overall. As I
am a fresher in this domain, I learnt a lot about IC from the case
studies and the practical experiences of other participants. The
session answered many of my questions. I look forward to more of
these sessions In future. Thank you for the opportunity.”
Anindita Bagchi, HCL
“Aniisu, thank you for providing internal communication (IC)
practitioners in India a platform to come together debate and
discuss. It was a fantastic workshop where we got to hear
perspectives from divergent industries on IC. What I particularly
appreciate is the thoroughly researched data that you presented
to us and your viewpoints about the same. I look forward to your
next workshop and I hope that as IC practitioners we can all
collaborate to provide more value to the function and elevate it‟s
presence within our organizations.”
Lisa Thomas, independent internal communications practitioner
“The workshop was a great experience! It was great, because
- I realized that there were a lot of more Internal Communication
professionals in India
- it gave IC professionals an opportunity to voice their issues (Boy
am I glad there are so many other people on the same boat)
- it was a learning opportunity. (best practices and experiences)
- different perspectives were examined
- it was shown that EVEN IC could be measured and shown to
have an ROI (more in the next workshop)
I enjoyed the hands-on approach as we formed teams and
brainstormed.
Thank you Aniisu. Look forward to the next one.”
Collin, Subex Systems
