Using GenAI for Powerful Presentations
“AI is there to support storytelling, but not take it over,” says Maggie Miller, Speaker Dynamics’ communication coach and tech specialist, as she joins Karin Reed to discuss how generative AI, like ChatGPT, is reshaping presentation skills. Maggie shares how tools like ChatGPT save time, spark creativity, and even offer real-time feedback for presenters looking to refine their delivery.
Can AI enhance your storytelling without losing the human connection? Maggie believes it can. By treating AI as a “sous chef”-a helper for the heavy lifting-presenters can stay focused on authenticity and emotional connection. She also addresses ethical considerations, including data privacy and the importance of fact-checking, while offering practical tips on crafting effective prompts to get the most out of AI.
Starting small is key. Maggie suggests taking small steps, experimenting with AI for simple tasks, and gradually discovering its potential. For those ready to take the next step, Karin introduces Speaker Dynamics’ latest offering: “Using Generative AI for Powerful Presentations,” a program Maggie designed to help individuals and teams confidently enhance their communication skills using AI.

Quotes
“I think there are really three main benefits for using generative AI for creating powerful presentations… There are tools out there that give you a platform to practice presenting and get real time feedback. And so, this is just another way that you can use these types of tools to become a better presenter.” (04:24 | Maggie Milles)
“AI is there to support storytelling, but not take it over… Think of it as a sous chef-it’s really there to help you with those time-consuming tasks so you can focus more on the big picture.” (07:52 | Maggie Miller)
“The art is really about being very detailed about what you want. So, let’s say that you wanted to create an outline for a presentation. If you’re writing that prompt, you want to put in there: what is the topic that you want to be talking about? Do you have any time constraints or character constraints that it needs to consider? Are there any other nuances that you want it to take into consideration? I would say the biggest one that I always add to my prompts is: who is my audience?” (19:13 | Maggie Miller)
“I always say start small. Go to ChatGPT and ask it a simple question… The thing about ChatGPT and these other tools is the more you use it, the more it starts to mimic your behavior, whether you think that’s good or bad. The more you work with it, you’re basically training it to be more like yourself… Don’t be afraid. Give it a try.” (20:41 | Maggie Miller)

Great insights! Thank you Karin and Maggie for sharing!
Appreciate your kudos and the listen!
Excellent!
So you glad you found it helpful!!
Great advice; I've learned so much by just watching how you work, Karin! I've been a "camera on" person for this entire remote/hybrid journey -- sometimes I'm the only one in the meeting. I find that when meetings are recorded, what's captured on video seems to favor those with camera on. There are a ton of video recordings in my company where my face is the featured thumbnail, just because I'm the one with a camera on. Of course, I don't have that "I didn't do my hair today" excuse.
You rock that hairdo, Chris! 😉I love that you are leaning in to having as much "presence" as possible in virtual room as the platform allows... especially for those really important conversations when you want to communicate as richly as possible. Keep modeling best practices... people will notice and hopefully follow suit!
I just found this channel, it’s my lucky day 😅 The content of this video is excellent! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it! Please spread the word!
I loved this interview with Dorie, thanks Karen
I loved it, thanks Karen for hosting Dorie. Many useful things said that resonated in my head. One of them was "it's not about bragging, but we need to convey facts, verbs and data so people can make their own judgment"
I thought that was really wise perspective as well. Dorie is fabulous, and I was honored to have her on the show. Thank you for watching!
Dude, if you want to be thinking in long term, you need to survive until then. Sleep
Thank you for your suggestions and viewership!
Always informative!
Less headspace to better fill the frame. Check! More upper body seen for better body language expression. Check! Nicely done!
This was very positive for me, thank you kindly.
Thank YOU for watching!
I needed this, thank you 😊
So glad you found it valuable!
Having time to prepare to speak only gives me more time to develop the fear. It starts as soon as I know that I will be asked to speak. Once i am triggered i can no longer form thoughts or speak.
Public speaking anxiety is incredibly common with some research indicating it is shared by 85% of people. Matt Abrahams’ work is so valuable for helping us all manage that fear. I’d suggest checking out his books and videos which offer many different strategies to combat it.
Thank You 🎉
I found this episode really effective, the tools, techniques, illustrations, while not novel, were well presented with clear and actionable insights. The permission to "maximize mediocrity" was an interesting insight. Some critique, however, was Matt began reading something to the bottom right that was clearly taking his attention when Karin was asking questions from about the halfway mark in the video. It could have been an urgent message from his family, or more likely, his speaker notes/key messages. I found this counter-intuitive to the message about listening, and very distracting. From a production perspective this could easily have been dealt with through editing, because when Matt spoke, he looked directly at the camera and presented with charisma. From an interviewee perspective, I don't know, perhaps a bulletted list of key messages on your monitor at camera level, or a teleprompter, or, perhaps just looking at the host and listening? 🙂 It's a shame, because everything else about this session was so good. And Karin, you really handled Matt's distraction with grace and aplomb.
What an interesting observation! It points to the fact that your body speaks loud and clear even when you don't realize it... and may be saying something you hadn't intended. In this case, I think Matt may have just been glancing down at his notes or even perhaps tilting his head to try to heighten his listening skills, removing the visual distraction. His responses to my questions were definitely spot on, so what may have been perceived as him being distracted could've been just the opposite. We can easily misinterpret body language, especially on camera, when there's no context for the action. I often tell a story of a client who went through a hiring process that was completely virtual. On the final call with the hiring manager, she was disappointed when the manager never looked at the camera at all but rather looked down the entire time. My client assumed she was bombing the interview. Lo and behold, she was hired for the job. A few months later, she mentioned her impression of that call to her now boss who was flabbergasted. Her boss said she was simply taking copious notes because she was so impressed by what she was hearing. Two people in the same meeting - two very different impressions of how it went. How can you eliminate a misinterpretation? Provide context for your actions. If you are taking notes and looking down (or off to the side where another monitor sits) let your conversation partner know that, so they can make sense of what they are seeing on the screen. Otherwise, they might think you are not paying attention to them. However, when you speak, always reconnect with the camera lens which serves as the de facto eyes of your conversation partner. Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comments!
@@karinreed6533 Thanks for your reply and great insight. Yep, I read the body language and made an assumption. Apologies for that. You're right Matt's answers and his engagement when speaking were spot on indeed. Also, setting the context upfront goes a long way to mitigate the assumptions, although it is still difficult to overcome our physiological responses. Anyway, great show. Thanks.
I truly appreciate the interest in watching and for the engagement. It’s always valuable to receive feedback - especially when it allows you to look at something from a different vantage point. Thanks again for watching!
@@karinreed6533 Thanks so much Karin for sharing this illuminating client story! As a career & leadership coach who often helps clients prepare for interviews, I often advise them to be careful not to make assumptions based on an interviewer's body language. The story you shared is such a pertinent example and one I may highlight with coaching clients. Loved this episode and look forward to more in the future! Thank You for sharing your wisdom and expertise with the world.
I can relate to this. The more I allowed myself permission to be less than perfect, and took that pressure off myself, the easier it has become to get through a public speech. Doesn't mean I'm a great speaker yet, but losing some of those panic symptoms already helps.
Not pursuing perfection is very freeing. I love when he says "Maximize your mediocrity!" It's excellent advice and does wonders to tamp down that pesky public speaking anxiety that we all face at one point or another.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
So glad you found it valuable! Please do share it with others you think it may help as well!
Thank you for the video. Your description of the female speaker you spoke of had me thinking about politicians running for office, and how many of them really “say” very little. I consider Anne Applebaum to be one of the most knowledgeable, articulate and eloquent speakers in the world.
Indeed. She’s an excellent example of someone who leaves her audience with takeaways to ponder through both substance and style.
Taking a class from Matt Abrahams at Stanford a long while ago has had a significant positive impact on my future! His insights and strategies for communicating more effectively on the fly are invaluable. Matt’s teachings on preparation techniques, adopting the right mindset, embracing authenticity, managing the inner critic, and the power of active listening have truly transformed how I approach talks - planned and spontaneous. His sage advice on redefining small talk has especially helped me create meaningful connections effortlessly. If you’re eager to enhance your communication skills, I highly recommend tuning in to his sessions. Thank you, Matt, for equipping us with such practical and transformative tools!
Matt is one of my communication heroes! I’ve had the pleasure of lecturing to his classes at the GSB at Stanford and always learn so much myself.
Thanks so much for this great conversation
So glad you found it valuable, @hipharpist
Thanks 💖💖💖💖💖
This book is stunning! I am working in South Korea and found this book on LinkedIn and ordered last week. It gives many useful information regarding every type of meeting and how to deal with all of them. Great job with abundant insights!
Where is my audio engineering content?
Sorry for the confusion - Speaker Dynamics is a communication training firm.
Karin Reed is THE BEST teacher for on-camera skills. I'm excited to see what's coming on Speaker Dynamics!
High praise coming from you, Cat! Thanks so much for the shout out!
I'm surprised there isn't more people viewing your videos. I'm from one of the Toastmasters Club and we have been affected by COVID-19 greatly. Now we have moved to hosting online meeting and I am trying to find guidance in how to preparing to speak online. Your videos have been most helpful (also book your book!) I will be recommending them to my club members and share it with the other Toastmasters clubs. Many Thanks to you and your team for the learning experience!
