The revolution in writing is under way—welcome to the new world of Post-Modern English, chatbots and AI. If your company, your team, and your job haven’t already been impacted by the changes, brace yourself for a rollercoaster 12- to 18-months. This workshop will get you ready for anything that comes your way.

• The attention span of everyone is becoming shorter and shorter.
• Younger customers “speak” in emoticons, memes, images and abbvtns.
• We are working with a five-generation world.
• 34% of your teammates and clients learned English as their second language.
• The range of platforms and media choices is almost overwhelming.

This hands-on, working session will address all that, and more. You’ll learn about different styles and voices, dive into “speaking like your audience,” and review actual examples of how major corporations are moving to a more customer-friendly voice.

We’ll build on what you already know and give you additional tools to stay in tune with your customers and markets and turn your “company communications” into meaningful “customer engagement.” In addition, you’ll start to master “prompts,” understand the difference between “edit” and “rewrite” and start to explore the new horizons of Large Language models. Finally, you’ll get tips and hacks you can use to improve everyone’s writing—immediately!

Who Is This Workshop For?
As AI bots start to replace word processing, everyone in your marketing group and your company — from the actual writers to your marketers, strategists and senior management — need to understand how to learn the new rules of writing and the new techniques of AI communications.
