Renn Vara, Co-Founder, SNP Communications, interviewed by Paul Papadimitriou and Stephen Millard.Communication is critical in startups, especially as an organisation grows. Ensuring everyone across the business is aligned with the company's vision and values, the behaviors, what matters most, the path to success. The importance of communication is heightened in 2020 as we've all moved to an offline world and now an increasingly on-off world.Highlights:- Communication is now much more personal. We are talking to employees from our homes and in their homes and leaders must embrace that.- We are all now “living our work” and that will have a profound impact on company survival and success.- Embrace Aristotle: “forgive yourself, forgive others and seek understanding.” This underpins great communication. Aristotle again: “speak your truth with clarity.”Renn Vara, Co-Founder of SNP Communications is one of the world’s leading experts and practitioners on communication in startups, working with Founders across the Notion Family and at many of the world’s iconic tech brands. Renn in particular, and SNP Communications as a whole, helps tech founders and brands find their voice, build teams, and create trust and clarity across fast-growing, globally-dispersed companies. Read more: https://notion.vc/resources/the-practiced-art-of-founder-communication/Hosted by Paul Papadimitriou and Stephen Millard.

P504 - The Practiced Art of Founder Communication, with Renn Vara, Co-Founder, SNP Communications

Renn Vara is a legend within the startup space, and has worked with some of the biggest tech companies as they’ve been growing into the phenomenal companies we see today. He works as trusted advisor to multiple founders and business leaders and I try to find a way to work with him as often as possible. We met over the airwaves, with him in the middle of his rainy San Francisco morning and me closing out my cold but sunshiney London day. We spoke of things like: 🥞 Nudging over judging 🦚 Authentic love centred leadership through adversity 🥞 Purposeful living, and how that provides joy🦚 The limits of being a physical beingAnd of course... joy ✨
