Circle of Fellows #95: From Meh to Marvelous

The goal of communication in any organization is for the recipient to think, feel, or do something. Most often, the outcome we seek is a behavior: We want the recipient to do more of what they’re already doing, do something differently, or do something new. Conveying information alone will rarely inspire someone to action. That requires communicators to add creativity to the mix. In this Circle of Fellows episode, four IABC Fellows will explore the application of creativity to business outcomes, including the various approaches one might take, the differences between influencing employees and other stakeholders, and convincing leadership that creativity is an appropriate business communication technique.

The panel will be streamed live at noon EDT on Thursday, August 17. Using YouTube’s live chat feature, you will be able to ask questions and share your own observations and experiences in realtime. If you are unable to join us live, the episode will be available shortly after the panel wraps up as a YouTube video replay and an audio podcast.

Exploring AI: Staying Ahead of the Curve as a Communication Professional

In this modern era where AI is changing the dynamics of every industry, questions inevitably arise about its efficacy and implications. Will AI replace communicators? Is it ethical to use AI with or without disclosure? Besides writing, how can communicators best use AI? What risks should we be aware of? What role can we play in helping introduce AI throughout our organizations to ensure it is used to its best advantage?

Join us at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 20, as a panel of IABC Fellows tackles these and other complex issues. The session will explore the risks and benefits, aiming to provide clear guidance to communications professionals seeking to navigate this new landscape. The panel aims to delve into the exciting and rapidly evolving intersection of AI and communication, examining how artificial intelligence can shoulder much of the mundane load, freeing up communicators to focus on creative, strategic, and value-added work. The panel will explore optimal ways for professionals to harness the power of AI in their communication strategies while helping the rest of the organization adopt AI to its greatest potential.
