Elevate & Engage Series: How to Sound Human, in the Age of AI
Overview
Want to grow as a leader but you're not sure where to start? Looking to level up your soft skills that will propel you further in your career?
To advance in your career, you need more than technical expertise — you need those elusive leadership skills that will level you up. That's why the VSCPA, with the help of our Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC), is putting on a series called, "Elevate & Engage," where you'll learn from experts and engage with peers around soft skill topics like networking, leadership, social media presence and more!
In this Elevate and Engage session, we're talking about how you can write authentically to stand out in an age of AI.
In a world where AI can write emails, proposals and reports instantly, young professionals risk sounding like everyone else — or worse, like a robot. This session covers practical ways to use AI tools without losing your authentic voice and personal touch that builds real client relationships. We'll discuss when to lean on AI, when to step back, and how to make sure your communication still sounds like you.
