AI is everywhere. It’s changing how we work, communicate, and create. At VaynerSpeakers, we use it too. AI helps us move faster, find insights, and streamline processes.
But here’s what we’re seeing across every stage and every industry: companies aren’t just looking for smarter tools; they’re looking for deeper human connection.
AI can generate content. It can analyze patterns. It can even predict trends. What it can’t do is read the room, adapt to emotion, or inspire an audience to feel something. And that’s where the right speakers make all the difference.
The Competitive Edge: Emotional Intelligence
In a world flooded with information, the companies thriving right now aren’t the ones speaking the loudest; they’re the ones creating moments that connect.
That’s why demand is rising for speakers who bring emotional intelligence, communication skills, and storytelling to the stage. Companies want leaders who can:
- Navigate complexity and change with empathy
- Communicate clearly when the stakes are high
- Inspire people to think, feel, and act differently
This isn’t about stacking more slides. It’s about delivering messages that land and moments audiences actually remember.
