Don’t Let AI Kill Your Authenticity: Speak to Inspire, Not Just to Inform

In a world where AI is rapidly transforming how we communicate and work, it's easy to lean on automation for everything—including public speaking. But while AI tools can help you brainstorm ideas or polish your messaging, overreliance on them can dull your voice, flatten your delivery, and disconnect you from your audience. Your voice is one of your most powerful assets, and you don't have to let AI diminish its impact. 

The Nasdaq Center is thrilled to be joined by Julia Kraft, Founder at Speak to Inspire, to explore what entrepreneurs and leaders risk losing when they let AI do the talking, and what to do instead. Learn how to strike the right balance between using AI as a tool and staying grounded in your authentic voice. This session will offer real-world guidance on how to deliver compelling messages with clarity, presence, and confidence—without sounding like AI! 

Key Takeaways: 

• Understand the subtle ways AI can undermine your delivery, connection, and credibility. 

• Learn how to develop a speaking style that feels human, grounded, and authentic—even with AI in your toolkit. 

• Walk away with strategies to craft and deliver messaging that resonates, persuades, and leaves a lasting impression.
