Clear communication has always been a competitive advantage. In an AI-enabled business environment, it’s becoming essential.

In this one-hour interactive presentation, Dr. Jean Hess will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping everyday business communication—from emails and customer responses to internal messaging and public-facing content. Participants will see practical, real-world examples of how AI can support clarity, consistency, and efficiency without replacing human judgment or voice.

Rather than focusing on tools or technical skills, this session centers on how leaders think about communication in an AI-influenced workplace—including quality, trust, and risk. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of what effective, responsible AI-supported communication looks like, and why shared expectations matter as organizations scale.

This session is designed for business owners, executives, and leaders who want to better understand the role AI can play in strengthening communication—while maintaining authenticity, professionalism, and accountability.

This is Part 1 of a four-part series the Aurora Alliance will be hosting in 2026.
