No matter what else changes in our profession, the ability to deliver a clear, organized, and compelling presentation is one of the best ways to promote your career. Unfortunately, relying on AI to both script and deliver your message removes your distinct personality and introduces elements that sound awkward, incorrect, or simply not human. No AI tool can replace the skill needed to stand in front of a live audience and speak with confidence, whether within your company or at a conference like this.  

This full-participation workshop covers guidelines for preparing and delivering a professional presentation, while avoiding the weaknesses of AI-assisted content.

Takeaways

  • Certain AI speech output triggers subconscious negative responses in viewers.
  • Your own unique character and personality is an asset.
  • You can improve your skills, be clear and structured, and not sound like everyone else.
