What People Are Saying
“Kip Soteres has been an incredible add, consulting with me and my team at Ecore. When he started with us, we had no dedicated internal communication resources and communication with employees was inconsistent. With his guidance, we have built out regular digest emails and an editorial calendar that gives us visibility into the full range of content we need to communicate. He has further inspired us to enhance our commitment to Town Hall meetings, develop an ambassador program to encourage designated site employees to contribute content and ideas, and deliver manager training to help our leaders better fulfill their roles as communicators.
As these programs continue to mature, his work has helped define new opportunities for growth within HR and across the broader organization. His strategic feedback and guidance in delivering key messaging and approach communication challenges has been invaluable.”

“Kip brings more to the table than change management expertise. He acts as a consultant, a teacher, and a counselor, always available for support when you are navigating large-scale change. He taught me how to recognize and manage the stages of change with a creative flair, and that there is more to change management than what you see on the surface. Thanks to Kip, I approach transformation efforts from a different lens.”

Whether we were seeking strategic counsel and advice on best practice internal communications or needing hands-on tactical and project support, Kip was a most valued partner - a natural and trusted extension of the communications team and our business partners in HR and beyond.”
