SESSION | Breakout Session Two (Morning)
Public Speaking in an AI-centered World
Mark Cuban called it the Milli Vanilli effect - there will soon be so much video AI that people won't know that what they see or hear is real UNLESS IT IS LIVE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. (And, even then, is the content being presented a product of the speaker, or AI-generated. Does it matter?) AI will lead to an explosion of interest in real world events. You need to step up your public speaking game.
Public speaking will be the last bastion of credible, believable thought leaders. Without the speaking skills, without a deep understanding of how to get yourself on stage, deliver actionable insights and market/sell without overt selling (no one wants to be sold to from the stage), you will be left behind.
This presentation will pull back the curtain on speaking to drive business, provide you with an action plan, AND leave you laughing.
Audience members will be able to:
Recognize public speaking as a strategic business advantage and a credibility-building tool in an AI-saturated world.
Create a personalized action plan for building their speaking careers with an eye toward business and career value.
Walk away with key strategies for getting on more stages, including pitching, finding the right events, and positioning to stand out.
