Are You Talking or Are You Communicating in the Age of AI? Learning, Living & Growing!
With Dr. Debra Dupree, The Mindset Mediator™
The ability to influence—ethically, authentically, and effectively—has become even more critical as we navigate an AI-enhanced business landscape. In today’s virtual, data-driven, and increasingly automated world, how we show up—how we communicate—matters more than ever.
Whether you’re a job seeker competing with algorithm-based screening, a consultant trying to build trust in virtual spaces, or a business owner striving to remain relevant in a hyper-digital marketplace, your ability to connect with others remains your greatest asset. But here’s the catch: attention spans are shrinking, expectations are shifting, and AI is rewriting how decisions are made.
What’s the mindset behind today’s most impactful communicators? How are they navigating interviews, networking, and client engagement with clarity, confidence, and emotional intelligence—even when AI is part of the conversation? What communication practices set them apart in this new era of influence?
In this engaging session, Dr. Debra Dupree, The Mindset Mediator™, returns to share updated insights on:
The 4 keys to influence—refined for an AI-integrated world
How to craft communication that builds trust across human-AI interfaces
Why psychological safety and adaptability are new essentials for high-level influence
What elite business schools are now teaching about digital presence, persuasion, and leadership
Join us to learn how to strengthen your influence, upgrade your communication style, and stay relevant in a rapidly evolving professional landscape.
