On this week’s episode of Season 5 of The True North Show I am joined by Courtney McCloud, an incredible and wonderful woman who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and being friends with for quite a few years.  Courtney shares with us where her journey began and how it has come full circle to where she originally wanted to start.  Her view on the importance of good communication is so deep and is weaved into everything she does, in particular the work she does within organisations.  Courtney’s own communication style is light yet focused and precise with a little bit of fun as well.  I loved our conversation and I am sure you will too.

Bio:
Courtney McCloud has built a career that doesn't fit neatly into a single box and that's part of what makes her story worth telling.

After starting out as a high school English teacher, Courtney went on to spend over a decade working across communications and engagement in some of Australia's most recognisable organisations from secondary and tertiary education institutions to a national construction company. Her career has also taken her into international development and the not-for-profit sector, shaped not by the status quo, but by a genuine curiosity about people and what moves them.

At the heart of Courtney's work is a simple but powerful belief: that communications is transformative. Whether supporting business leaders through difficult change, building community in workplaces, or producing work that makes frontline workers feel seen, she has spent her career turning that belief into measurable outcomes.

That journey eventually led her to one of the most clarifying decisions of her life, founding The Hummingbird Effect.  Today, Courtney is focused on maximising the power of communications strategy for organisations making a tangible impact, while also developing a vision for mentoring the next generation of professionals.

She is warm, direct, and refreshingly honest about the messy reality of building a meaningful career, and brings both hard-won expertise and genuine heart to not just this conversation, but everything she does.
