Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies6 Juli

3 Ways AI Can Hurt Your Public Speaking, and 3 Ways It Can Help

I love using AI, and I use it almost every day. But when it comes to thought leadership, talks, and presentations, I’ve also seen how easy it is for AI to pull us into a new version of the Expert Trap.

In this episode, I’m sharing three things to be careful about when using AI for your talks, from my own recent experiences with clients, including why it can miss the deeper signal in your message, strip away your natural personality, and leave you with endless unfinished ideas that never become anything concrete.

I also share three smart ways I do recommend using AI: creating stronger slide graphics, brainstorming audience activities for workshops, and analyzing call-for-speakers pages so you can find a stronger pitch angle.

My goal isn’t to talk you out of using AI. It’s to help you use it in a way that supports your voice, your ideas, and your real thought leadership instead of replacing the very things that make you compelling.

You'll learn:

Why AI can keep you stuck in the Expert Trap
The difference between AI “polish” and your real voice
Why your personality matters so much in a talk
How too many AI-generated ideas can create more unfinished projects
Three ways I recommend using AI for presentations
Why I no longer recommend using AI to draft TEDx or speaker submissions
How to make your human credibility markers stand out in your speaking proposals
