Should Speakers Use ChatGPT?

With Jeremy Rochford

I think it’s important for speakers to be aware of it, to understand it, not be the type of speaker who’s yelling at clouds like, no, I’m going to avoid this. When used in appropriate context, it can make so many things so much easier. But the challenge, like with any new technology, is really understanding what appropriate means and really understanding the boundaries of how it can help you, but then also being self aware enough to go, maybe this is where it doesn’t help me.”

In this edition of the Coaching Corner segment, we’re digging into AI with Maryalice Goldsmith and Jeremy Rochford. This episode is a great addition to the show because they dig into leveraging AI to help you create great content. 

“Chat GPT can start the conversation, but we, as the creators, need to end the conversation. We need to take, if we’re using chat GPT, whatever it gives us, and then go, how would I say this to my tribe? How would I say this to my people?”

In this episode, Jeremy and Maryalice cover: 

  • How to think about using AI to develop your content as a speaker
  • Practical tips for using AI to create great content
  • Patterns we see in our student who have heavily relied on AI to write their talks
  • What the pros and cons are of leveraging a tool like this
  • Things to watch out for when you’re leveraging a tool that doesn’t have emotional intelligence
  • Best practices for using AI as a piece of the creative process

“I feel like this AI is the industrial revolution for entrepreneurs. I feel like we’ll look back 25 years from now and we’ll go, this is where so much of this was made possible.”
