Sure! AI can make slides and I help you fine tune that skill, but you need human-to-human social skills to win better, deeper trust with the people you are presenting your solutions to. With HeyGen, this makes it even more important to show up even more adept than your AI Avatar. Especially in tech or finance.

Yes, AI frees time for presenting insights. Combining stacks such as Julius.ai with your personality will create remarkable experiences for your audience, clients and customers. Soft skills is a high-stakes strength, leveraging this skill alongside powerful technology will lead to exponential success and fulfillment in your field of work. There is no downside. However, not being as skilled in presentations, even when having an avatar, could lead to loss of that key deal, confusion at key moments and taking all that hard work, and flushing it away. I will not let this happen to you. Unfortunately humans still do judge on presentations, and that alone at times. I took coaching on this and it is a must-have as we co-pilot alongside our avatars. Be skilled up and ride this wave of innovation with clear, articulate insights, expressed in your own authentic style and delivery.

I agree, sometimes having techical acumen wins the day. But it is valuable to learn the skill of taking complex concepts, and presenting them as simple, easy to follow solutions. Or sharing new financial strategies that can save a company millions. This skill also extends into personal relationship improvements.

I agree actually. Sometimes conferences can be corny but other times, their presenting a chance to connect with practitioners on a personal level that Linkedin or a thoughtful tweet, could never land you. I am an introvert by nature, so I would never encourage reserved people like myself, to be someone they are not. However, this skill of presenting, and dress, style (not saying to wear suits like Mad Men). This is a skill that is very important. A coaching session or two would make these events more fun, enjoyable. Jump right in, stop overthinking this. We skill up on new stacks or prompt techniques and other such things, social-stuff is no different.

I still do all of these things but my focus is helping professionals with their work shareout. I love it. Plus it is my "would do for years" passion. As for clients, I keep that private. My UX work has allowed me the honor of working with leading brands globally which you find here: link. But my clients, I guard their information and do empower NDA's. I prefer it this way and so will you. Nobody has to know you are hiring a presentation coach—it is for your benefit, not theirs. This gives us expressive freedom to be transparent and really flex our presentation muscles, netting you outcomes that are absolutely life changing. No more dreading conferences, cringy small talks or dreading that keynote or demo you are putting together.

I know this is a long answer but I tell you, there are some workflows that require all manner of cross collaboration within a Team. Imagine working on all those connections, or in the finance world, gathering all of that data and charting and 10k, 10q's only to present "not well." Wasted work. Instead, private coaching that helps you present your best work, in your style. Nobody else can be you. And that what makes the combo of human and machine, so incredibly exponential when maturely paired. This is fun and you will enjoy this new skill.
