About Worthy Words with Agostino Renna and Stef Tschida
Welcome to Worthy Words, a podcast for anyone who recognizes that being a great communicator is a requirement for being a great leader. In these discussions with our guests, we’ll start with the basic premise that in today’s environment, the only constant is change and as a result, leaders who can’t adapt will be marked for extinction. We’ll also talk about how communicating effectively has become perhaps the leader’s most important super power in today’s global context. Join your hosts – international senior executive Agostino Renna and communications expert Stef Tschida – as we host thought-provoking discussions with some incredible experts on what it means for leaders to operate as Communicators in Chief in today’s business environment.
During the Worthy Words podcast, hosted by Agostino Renna and Stef Tschida, Robert Kennedy III, a well-known communications expert and president of Kinetic Kommunications, was invited to talk about the future of work.
The group discussed the influence of technology and AI on business practices and communications, the importance of strategic storytelling in business settings, and the role of artificial intelligence in improving task efficiency.
The conversation pointed out only 5% of U.S employees are aware of their company's strategy, indicating the urgency for employing storytelling in corporate communications to efficiently convey a company's purpose, vision and mission. Finally, the discussion covered strategies to enhance virtual experiences in the post-COVID era, emphasizing the importance of maintaining human touch in a technology-driven environment.
