The Good Comms podcast
Welcome to the Good Comms podcast, where we explore the power of inclusive leadership and communication in creating a more representative, just and less polarised world. Hosted by Chared Verschuur, it is a breath of fresh air in a time when negative news, divisive narratives, and bullish forms of leadership seem to dominate. In this podcast, we celebrate those already making positive change, and learn from them so that there will be more of them in the world. In each episode, we dive into actionable insights, research-backed strategies, and real stories that challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more inclusive future. If you’re someone passionate about making a difference, you’ll find tools and ideas here to inspire connection and drive meaningful change. Join us as we reimagine leadership, champion social good, and work toward a more inclusive future — together.
