AI is all the rage these days, and while there are many benefits to it, I'm concerned we're outsourcing too much of our thinking to artificial intelligence.

When you do so, it's affects how you show up as a communicator.

And so, I'm releasing a 6-part series on the communication skills you need to improve in the age of AI.

In this sixth and final episode of the series, I explore the essential communication skill of being yourself.

Great communication values human intuition, emotional understanding, and critical thinking to create genuine connections and effective messaging, traits that AI simply cannot reproduce.

In this fifth episode of the series, I explore the essential communication skill of pausing before you respond.

I share my perspective on how taking a moment to reflect can transform conflicts into growth opportunities and improve leadership effectiveness.

Practicing the skill of pausing before you respond to criticism, feedback, ideas you don't agree with, or disrespect is difficult but essential for effective leadership. Asking questions like "What could I be missing?" opens the door to growth, with empathy and curiosity being vital tools in your communication toolkit.

In this fourth episode of the series, I explore the essential communication skill of staying present and observant.

I make the case for how being fully engaged in conversations can enhance communicative understanding and connection, which leads to better conversations and outcomes.

Remaining present and observant in the moment requires intentionality and focus with all that exists to distract you these days, but doing so is possible.
