- **Event Name**: Speak to Lead: Communication, AI Fluency, and Strategic Execution
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 am
- **Event Description**: STOP WRITING PROMPTS. START COMMANDING AI.

You're a strong communicator. You can command a room, coach your team, and deliver presentations with authority.

So why does AI make you sound like a robot?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE PROBLEM YOU'RE FACING

❌ Generic AI outputs that sound lifeless
❌ Spending more time editing AI than writing yourself
❌ Can't get AI to capture your brand voice
❌ Every prompt feels like trial and error
❌ Your team's AI results are wildly inconsistent

Here's why: You're treating AI like a search engine instead of a team member.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE SOLUTION: AI PARALANGUAGE MASTERY

When you communicate with your team, you don't just say words. You use:

→ Tone to convey urgency
→ Pauses for emphasis
→ Pace to control understanding
→ Volume to signal importance
→ Inflection to shape meaning

That's paralanguage—and AI needs it too.

At Speak to Lead, you'll learn to translate your existing executive communication skills into AI directives that produce consistent, high-quality, on-brand results.

This isn't AI training. This is communication mastery for a new medium.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN 4.5 HOURS

SESSION 1: THE COMMUNICATION FOUNDATION (90 min)
with Steve Steele

- The Five Foundations of effective communication
- How to effectively speak when giving presentations, workshops, or speeches
- How tone, pace, volume, and pauses shape meaning
- Live demonstrations and interactive practice

Steve brings 25+ years in leadership and hosts the international radio program "The Leader's Edge." This session teaches pure communication mastery—the foundation everything else builds on.

SESSION 2: AI PARALANGUAGE TRANSLATION (90 min)
with James Hammer &amp; Noah

- The 8 categories of AI paralanguage commands
- How to translate what Steve taught into AI directives

- Real-time coaching: Apply what you learned to AI
- Build your personal paralanguage playbook

James, Chief Creative at Mental Forge Media and certified AI Learning Specialist, shows you how to take communication skills and translate them into AI commands that actually work.

SESSION 3: STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION (90 min)
with Kristi Pepperdine

- The 5 AI platforms that actually deliver ROI
- Implementation roadmaps for finance and operations
- Scaling from personal mastery to team deployment
- 30-day action plan for sustainable results

Kristi brings 30+ years bridging technology and finance (including Apple Inc.) and cuts through AI hype to focus on measurable business results.

✅ A personal AI paralanguage playbook
