These include performing a pre-Christmas reality check, identifying and stopping unproductive habits, ensuring your business can run smoothly in your absence, recognizing key supporters, and resetting non-negotiable standards.

In this episode, I explore the revolutionary potential of AI in the speaking world, where AI video avatars and virtual presenters can allow you to be in two places at once. 

While these technologies offer unprecedented scalability by cloning your voice, gestures, and expressions, they also pose significant risks, including brand dilution, legal issues, and loss of audience connection. 

Learn how to leverage AI smartly—using it for repetitive tasks, language barriers, and micro-content—while maintaining transparency and preserving the human touch essential for impactful speaking.
