AI can write a beautifully polished message. Would anyone recognize you in it? 🤔

As we kick off Season 2, Cassandra Sparks and Ewan Riccio-Laing are pulling up to the Speakeasy table for a lively conversation about AI, authentic communication, and the trust leaders build with every message.

As two business owners who use AI, we get into how it helps us move past a blank page, organize our thoughts, and make more room for the human side of our work. We also ask what happens when the finished message loses the person who is supposed to be sending it. And yes, Ewan has a few things to say about the em dash. 👀

In this episode:
• Using AI to kickstart creativity and free up your attention.
• Keeping your voice and your audience at the center of your communication.
• Preparing for difficult conversations when emotions are running high.
• Checking your message for truth, voice, and commitment.
• Celebrating the progress you make at work and in your own well-being.

🔥 The takeaway: AI can help you start a message. Make sure you can stand behind the whole thing.

💪 Your Courage Challenge: Choose one meaningful message this week and read it aloud before you send it. Is it true? Do you own the words? Can you keep the commitment? Add a specific detail that reflects what you noticed, how you feel, or what you mean.

🎙️ Sparks Squared: Speakeasy serves up real talk about bold leadership and the human side of communication and leadership development.
