About Jonathan Champ, your facilitator
As an experienced leader, collaborator and communication researcher, I grow the profession through building the knowledge, skills and capabilities of others. I do this through tailored development programs, mentoring and publishing. The open-source COMMS Plan method I developed underpins this, consolidating my experience as an IABC author, presenter, Melcrum researcher and CEB (Now Gartner) trainer. I've trained hundreds of communication professionals and presented to thousands of business and industry leaders on creating communication impact in a changing world of work.
As the founder of Meaning Business, I’ve helped CEOs, CXOs, Executive Teams, Communication Directors, Project Managers, HR teams, Marketing Managers, solve challenges through communication, change management and leadership.
As a creative producer, I foster collaboration and the sharing of ideas that can create change. I was the first licensee and executive producer of the 2012 TEDxParramatta, the founder of Adelaide’s screen industry event Tuesday Talks and the co-founder of the Adelaide Screenwriters Club. I was co-curator and chair of a range of communication conferences and development events as the regional Research Director for Melcrum’s Strategic Communication Forum.
