IMCA MASTERECLASS SERIES

Strategic Communications

“Being able to craft, tell and live your story is one of the fundamental pillars of influencing, persuading and leading”.

Our speaker, Cilian Fennell is the Founder of Stillwater Communications  Ireland’s leading communications and messaging development consultants. He is known for his authenticity, passion and understanding of storytelling and communication, and works with leaders across all sectors in both Ireland and internationally. His experience in media, politics, business and the NGO sector has given Cilian a deep understanding of how society works and he uses this understanding to give relevant and timely strategic advice to leaders in their respective fields.

Cilian grew up in Connemara in the west of Ireland where he developed a love for storytelling. After travelling extensively as a fisherman and sailor he began a successful career in television. His experiences as producer of the Late, Late Show in RTÉ and Head of Programmes in TG4 gave him an insight into communication, connection and engagement with a wide range of audiences. This led him to a further exploration of narrative, mythology and belief systems which he uses widely in his work today.

Cilian has successfully adapted the story model to a business model and now helps companies, teams and individuals to discover, develop and deliver their story effectively. Working with narrative inquiry he guides organisations to find the true story that drives them and helps them articulate it to their various audiences. He works as a strategic advisor, coach and consultant to some of the world’s biggest organisations and has worked with domestic and multinational companies and governments in Ireland, UK, US, Middle East and Asia.

Cilian also has extensive experience coaching start-ups and established businesses that are pitching for investment or growth opportunities. He is a regular contributor to technology incubators and start-up boot camps in San Francisco, London and Dublin and helps teams to create and deliver compelling pitches.

The Institute is delighted to have Cilian agree to share his knowledge in the vital area of strategic communication  and we would advise that members reserve their places early at this CPD Masterclass event to avoid disappointment as demand is expected to be high and places are limited.

Location: Bank of Ireland, House of Lords, College Green, Dublin 2
