November issue of the Buzz: Connections

Closeup of hands reaching out, overlapping and connecting. Text reads, “The Buzz. Your source for everything indie.” The IABC/Toronto and PIC logos are on the top left and a “Join PIC” button top right.

The connections we cultivate throughout our lives make life more interesting, fulfilling and rewarding. That’s one of the many reasons I joined IABC and continue to renew my membership each year.

In the November issue of The Buzz, IABC/Toronto’s Professional Independent Communicators (PIC) and I are focusing on connections:

  • Connecting with clients.
  • Connecting with our profession.
  • Connecting with one another.

We explore ways to foster and build upon our connections, learn from them and show our appreciation for the value they hold in our professional lives.

Two regular features return: Diverse Threads and PIC Personality:

  • In the first of a two-part series, Brent Artemchuk talks to Sabita Singh, one of Toronto’s top 15 LinkedIn experts, about how communicators can harness LinkedIn to build connections and enhance organizational DEI strategies.
  • Sue Horner introduces us to this month’s PIC Personality, Heather Redfearn, who specializes in internal communications that ensure businesses are able to stay connected and engaged with those who make their business run.

Later in this issue, we share some member news about Linda Bicho-Vachon, Adrienne Jackson, Lisa Marchitto and Nathalie Noël, and Catharine Heddle offers her take on another intriguing read in Book Nook.

Enjoy the issue!Want to comment on the issue, make a suggestion or ask about volunteer opportunities? Connect with any of the PIC executive (listed at the end of the issue) on LinkedIn, follow the PIC LinkedIn business page or email toronto-sig@iabc.to. We’d love to hear from you.
