Cafe2Go #38 – The Cafe2Go Interview with Roger D’Aprix, ABC
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 by Neville Hobson, ABC
Roger D’Aprix, ABC, IABC Fellow, is an internationally-known communication consultant, lecturer and author of seven books. In 1998 IABC named him “one of the most influential thinkers in the communication profession in the last 25 years.”
Among his many contributions to IABC is authorship of The Face-to-Face Communication Toolkit: Creating an Engaged Workforce, the second edition of which has been published. The first edition, published in 2004, has been one of IABC’s best-selling publications.
In this interview, Roger talks with Cafe2Go co-host Neville Hobson, ABC, about the toolkit, what’s changed in the five years since the first edition, how the nature of face-to-face communication has changed in recent years especially with the advent of social media, tips on communication strategies to foster employee engagement and rebuild trust, plus some advice to those who say they have little or no time for face-to-face communication.
The Face-to-Face Communication Toolkit: Creating an Engaged Workforce is available to purchase in the IABC Store.

I’ve been a frequent user of Roger’s Face-to-Face toolkit to conduct supervisory training for my clients. It is always a valuable experience for supervisors and I regularly receive excellent feedback from them. Thanks for the second edition Roger (I’ve already bought it.) The toolkit is a great value for any employee communications professional.
And, when I graduated from my Masters degree in communications 25years ago, Roger was my most quoted source in my final project on employee communications and change.
So, I’m a huge long-time fan! Thanks for all of your contributions to our profession Roger.
