Lead with Your Voice: AI-Powered Communication for Greater Influence

Strong communication remains one of the most valuable skills in today's workplace, and this workshop explores how AI can help sharpen it. Participants work with communication expert and former television journalist Jessica Chen to practice clearer messaging, audience-centered communication, and confident delivery. Across two interactive sessions, learners experiment with using AI as a communication coach, from tightening a message before sending it to rehearsing a difficult conversation.

The workshop is designed for managers, team leads, and individual contributors who want to pair AI's speed with human judgment, presence, and persuasion.

Format:
Two 3-hour interactive sessions combining instruction, demonstration, AI-assisted practice, and communication exercises.

1. Practice communicating ideas with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose
2. Explore how to adapt messages for different audiences and stakeholder needs
3. Work with AI to prepare, rehearse, and refine workplace communication
4. Practice framing recommendations more persuasively
5. Explore approaches for anticipating and responding to objections
