Register here for the webinar: Successful public speaking in the age of AI

In Ancient Greece, Aristotle discovered the secrets of public speaking success. For over 2,000 years the principles that he set out have been the foundations of history’s most successful speeches. But Aristotle could never have predicted the recent pandemic, digitalisation and the rise of AI. Is everything that we thought we knew about public speaking now dead?  Just how do we engage audiences and succeed as speakers, online?  How could, and should, we use AI to become successful speakers?

In this thought-provoking talk, Rich Watts, former UK Business Speaker of the Year, answers all of these questions. He will share best practice learnings using public speaking technologies as well as his experiments using AI to craft and deliver compelling speeches. 

This webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Zoom access information will be sent after registration, one week before, one day before and one hour before the event. If you have difficulty receiving the Zoom link, please contact alison.edmonds@thecareerfarm.com.
