webinars to help you navigate these important topics!

Working Through a Dumpster Fire: A Framework for Human-centered, Trauma-informed Communications

Nov. 10 | noon CT



Communicating with employees in “dumpster-fire” conditions takes more than business-as-usual messaging. Learn how trauma, chronic stress, and uncertainty affect the way employees receive and respond to communication and leave with a human-centered framework for communicating with more clarity, care, and connection.

IABC Master Class: AI Proficiency for Communication Professionals

Nov. 9 and 11 | 9 – 10:45 a.m. CT

It takes more than knowing how to use the latest tools and language models. As AI becomes more integrated into organizations, communicators need to better understand how AI can add real value, how it can be used responsibly, and where our expertise can influence decisions.

In this master class, explore how to use AI purposefully, navigate ethical and professional issues, establish practical safeguards, and contribute confidently when AI affects people, communication, trust, and reputation.

AI in Change: What Do We Delegate and What Do We Own?

Nov. 11 | 4 p.m. CT

Join our expert panel as we explore how professionals are navigating decisions about delegation, oversight, and trust in an AI-enabled workplace. You’ll leave the session with a framework for evaluating what to automate, what to own, and how to strike the right balance in their day-to-day work.
