Summer holidays in April?

In late 2023, I set up my own business, offering clients the opportunity to work with an experienced Internal Communications professional, in a flexible way.  

But what inspired me to start posting?  

A few weeks ago, I sped through Dublin Airport before a flight thinking “Wow, it’s very quiet, this is fantastic!” Then I realised, most people don’t take vacation in late April/early May. I was taking a super early summer vacation, accidentally avoiding the  busy travel time during school holidays due to my aversion to summer heat.  The experience reminded me that during June, July and August, many Internal Communications teams will be under resourced.

Some will postpone projects or distribute workload to other members of the team. Where the “team” is just one person, that person will likely come back to a h-u-g-e amount of emails and meeting requests, because what’s the alternative? 

This is why I started my business, Two Way Communications. I know many organisations have a need for occasional Internal Communications support/guidance but they don’t necessarily want to hire someone for a 6-12 months contract. I offer a completely flexible service, working with clients when they need it, without the pressure of going through a lengthy hiring process. 

If this sounds like a good fit for your Internal Communications team, get in touch by emailing anita@twoway.ie to discuss how I can support your organisation.
