"I look for the ones that are passionate about creating positive change; because you can always develop a set of skills, but you can’t teach character. I've found that going on this journey helps bring out the best in people, it gives them fulfilment and benefits beyond the financial profit. Which is exactly what intrinsic motivation is all about. It's a win-win and it’s how we choose to do business. It’s the beginning of building a Conscious Brand." – Luke reflects on our recent Purpose-driven Community Talk; this month we unpacked the topic, ‘Inspiring employees to become brand advocates’.

On many occasions over the years, either in my head or, on the odd occasion, out loud I would say something along the lines of "You need to respect me more". But unfortunately, in much the same way that a genie can't make someone fall in love with you, you also cannot demand respect.
When people ask what I do, I always have to pause and work out how to explain my role.

Individuals can now do what companies used to do; Companies now do what countries used to do; What can you do? As communicators, we have the potential to change the world.
