In this episode, we tackle the growing challenge of email fatigue and explore why traditional newsletters often go unread. Kath makes a compelling case for converting your company newsletter into an engaging mini podcast—a modern, inclusive, and multitasking-friendly way to communicate with your audience.

She highlights the limitations of newsletters, such as crammed text and low engagement, and explains how audio newsletters can reach clients who may have disengaged or never read your emails. Audio content allows listeners to consume information on the go or while multitasking, offering a solution that values their time while still getting your message across effectively.

Kath emphasizes the inclusivity of audio formats, catering to those who prefer listening over reading or who find reading challenging. By offering both audio and transcribed versions, businesses can ensure they're accessible to all. She reminds us that 80% of business comes from existing or past clients, making this a powerful way to reconnect and reengage.

If you're an accountant, financial advisor, lawyer, or any professional sending regular newsletters, this episode is for you! Learn how to position yourself as a leader in your field by embracing audio and transforming your newsletter into a mini podcast.

Key Takeaway: Stop relying solely on newsletters. Switch to audio and watch your engagement soar while fostering stronger client connections.

In this episode, Kath dives into the power of CIPs (Company Internal Podcasts)—a private podcast created for internal staff and teams. She explores how businesses with diverse workforces, including remote, hybrid, part-time staff, and those on leave, can use an internal podcast to communicate vital updates effectively, build a stronger company culture, and ensure no one feels left out.

Kath explains how a CEO or leader can create a single monthly podcast to update, motivate, and engage their team with tone and clarity that email simply can't deliver. She highlights scenarios like addressing sensitive topics such as cutbacks while maintaining a positive and collaborative tone. Additionally, she shares ideas for weekly episodes featuring team stories, HR updates, or onboarding resources to foster inclusivity and build team understanding.

The episode underscores how CIPs can enhance mental health, wellbeing, and communication by creating a shared experience for all staff, regardless of their location or role. Kath wraps up by inviting listeners to reach out if they’d like help creating or training their team to launch their own SIPs.

Key Takeaway: Company internal podcasts are a powerful tool for effective communication, employee engagement, and building a cohesive workplace culture.
