Social change requires collective action. But what does that mean for an organisation’s leadership, culture, and even strategy, if it’s serious?
Quite a lot as it turns out.

'Leadership Worth Sharing,' a podcast by ACEVO x CharityComms, featuring headshots of three speakers against a green background.
Quote from James Harris, Director of Communications and Campaigns at Rethink Mental Illness, in white text, reads: “Comms people [are] the radically candid ones who will pipe up if you can’t explain that really important, complex thing you’re doing to your imaginary 15-year-old son, niece, or mate down the pub, then you’re in trouble. You need people like those in your organisation.” At the bottom is ‘Leadership Worth Sharing,’ a podcast by ACEVO x CharityComms on a turquoise background.
Quote from Jenni Regan, CEO of IMIX, in blue text, reads: “Communications is leadership. It’s not about just visibility. It’s really about shaping how people think, how they act, how they feel. [Don’t be] afraid to make mistakes and change if something is not working...don’t be afraid to just take a bit of a step back and then get back to it when you know what you’re doing better.” At the bottom is ‘Leadership Worth Sharing,’ a podcast by ACEVO x CharityComms on a turquoise background.
