Always great catching up with Rob Brown on CBC Calgary to chat about the political news of the day. This week, we talked about the Alberta Next panel. Here are a few of my thoughts on the political motivations behind the exercise.👇 #ableg Enterprise

MYTH vs REALITY: Health care edition 🩺 TAKEAWAY: In health and medical communications, clarity isn't optional - it's essential. Jargon can create confusion or alienate your audience (especially when the stakes are high) so focus on plain language that informs, not overwhelms.

MYTH vs REALITY: World PR Day edition 🌎 TAKEAWAY: If you're only thinking about press, you're missing half the story (and the strategy). From internal comms to digital story telling to stakeholder alignment, PR is the connection between reputation, relationships and results.

With jobs and economic growth topping Premier David Eby’s agenda, he tapped one of his most experienced ministers to lead the charge. That move set off a game of cabinet musical chairs, with 8 ministers taking on new roles in the first shuffle since the 2024 election. ⏩
