IABC/Montréal chapter’s Past President Alain Legault was appointed Secretary/Treasurer of IABC.

Every two years, the end of May marks an important milestone for IABC/Montréal: our chapter is fully renewing its leadership team.

The new is often awkward and energy draining. Familiar and comfortable ways beckon at every corner. And no matter how hard we try, we seem to end up prioritizing the urgent over the necessary.

For many of us, March is the last month of the fiscal year and a time to measure each and every accomplishment in anticipation of the detailed performance reviews ahead. The highlight of my month was an hour-long interview with Julia Meighan, Chief Executive at VMAGroup, during which we discussed the findings of their most […]

On December 14, Isarta Infos joined IABC/Montréal at Edelman’s offices. This is an overview of the holidays event that gave members and guests an opportunity to network and exchange.

Originally, our November newsletter was supposed to focus on the role of communication in preventing ethical lapses in organizations. The new reality we woke up to on November 9th called for a change of topic, as we ponder on the communication lessons from the most recent U.S. elections, an electoral campaign of many firsts.

Starting this month, we’re aligning our newsletter’s editorial calendar with IABC’s CW Magazine, a business communication resource I recommend whole-heartedly. This makes October, the month to talk about next level PR and the changing status of our discipline. And, speaking of status, IABC/Montréal is very proud to bring you a new project that kept us […]

We were very proud to partner with Candidio, a U.S.-based video production company, for a half-day video boot camp. We learned to plan and shoot our own web videos with nothing but a smartphone and we had a lot of fun in the process.  Relive the event – or discover what you missed –  via […]

Do you remember the last time you had a “slow summer”? Right. Neither do we at IABC/Montréal. We’re moving at a fast pace and we’re excited to share the highlights. Earlier this year we were invited to a special event, where the Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Small Business and Tourism, sat down with a […]

This post is in only available in french. Aujourd’hui, un blogueur invité: Benoit L’Archevêque, Communicateur et entrepreneur technologique. Bien que nous soyons exposés à ce nouveau véhicule, peu de communicateurs comprennent les différences qui existent entre les différentes plateformes de sociofinancement.

I just finished Clayton Christensen’s book, The Innovator’s Dilemma (2011), where among many brilliant insights, he penned the definition of disruption: a product that addresses a market that previously couldn’t be served — a new-market disruption — or a simpler or cheaper alternative to an existing product — a low-end disruption. In our own way, this is how we’re working to scale IABC/Montréal. […]

Spring is around the corner and – whenever it gets to Montréal– it will bring a sense of renewed energy and a desire to do better, go faster and achieve more.

I am writing this post on the heels of the IABC Leadership Institute (IABC LI) in Long Beach, a yearly event that brought together IABC’s International Executive Board,key staff and close to 200 current and future chapter presidents to exchange during three days of internal meetings, panels and workshops. During the much-anticipated 2016 edition of the IABC Chapter Management […]

Three years ago I abandoned New Year resolutions and instead chose a theme word to guide the 52 new weeks ahead. While I love the process and the tangible wins it has brought along, the time has come for a tweak. One inspired by Ian Jeffrey’s December 11 update, titled “What Montreal must take from the […]

Once again, it’s that time of the year when the magic of the holidays meets the frenzy of resolution making.   Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve asked my professional network in Canada and abroad about trends to keep an eye on in 2016 and strategic habits that make a difference for business communicators.
