Hilary Seabrook - writer, podcaster, musician

The 2019 IOIC awards celebrated everything that's good about internal communications, and it was a good night to consider my own role as one of the judges.     Taking the opportunity to scrutinise outstanding work from around the UK (and beyond, in a couple of cases) is something many of us never have the chance to do. It's not always easy to compare our own work with that of others.     The awards are taken seriously in the business world and it was also a glittering night and the chance to connect with colleagues and friends - some of whom I only get to see once a year.     And there were drummers with lights!

Brilliant acting by the whole cast in the National Theatre's 2011 production that was screened as part of their NT Live programme.

The Bancroft Players' Queen Mother Theatre performance of The Importance of Being Earnest was just hilarious. A great evening out with Mum and Dad.

I was lucky enough to be able to lead a group of 27 students from Hitchin Boys' School to a workshop run by the education team at The Guardian in London.     Every single boy took part in a productive, enthusiastic manner and their results were genuinely outstanding.

It was a delight to watch my son perform at this iconic venue in Guildford. We are fortunate to have worked alongside UK rock band The Stranglers in recent years, and great to be in the place where they started out.

My role as presenter extends far beyond Rubato, my Sunday afternoon choice of classical music. Sometimes, I get involved in community events like this one at Walkern Village Hall.

This stunning artwork by Joe Rush and the Mutoid Waste Co adorns the billboards above Vinegar Yard, just outside London Bridge railway station.      Rush prides himself on using salvaged materials in artwork and this piece is certainly eye-catching and very obviously an image from London's underground.

Today marks the first in my blogging journey with the exciting brand that is @BambuuBrush. My first blog  is about the work they are doing with Virgin Atlantic. These eco-friendly toothbrushes are going into the sustainable amenity kit given to passengers. Such exciting times and I'm delighted that I'll be a part of this journey.
