As AI becomes increasingly capable of writing proposals, presentations, talking points, and executive summaries, a new question emerges: What happens when you’re the one who has to stand up and deliver it?

In this episode of Stepping Into Your Leadership, Christine Courtney welcomes back leadership development and communication expert Greg Shamie to explore the uniquely human skills that matter when AI can help create the content. They discuss why authenticity, connection, vulnerability, storytelling, and the ability to think on your feet can become the real differentiators in the room.

Greg shares practical strategies for stepping into the spotlight with greater confidence—from expanding beyond the limitations created by nervousness, to using visualization, finding a strong opening, making AI-generated language your own, and bringing personal stories into your presentations. Christine and Greg also explore how preparation and coaching can help presenters stay present, respond to unexpected questions, and connect with an audience rather than getting trapped in their own heads.

The message is simple: AI can help you build the presentation, but it can't be you. In an age where polished content is becoming easier for everyone to produce, learning how to bring your own voice, experiences, energy, and humanity into the room may be more important than ever.

Tune in for practical tips on finding your human edge—and making sure the person behind the presentation doesn't get lost behind the technology.
