Are you using AI to create content for your personal brand? You might be destroying the trust you've worked so hard to build. When your online persona is crafted by AI but your in-person presence doesn’t match, your audience can feel it. Best selling author of "Good Awkward" and keynote speaker Henna Pryor calls this mismatch "incongruence," and it's one of the biggest dangers for creators, thought leaders, and speakers today. We break down why an authentic voice is more important than ever and how to use modern tools without sacrificing the soul of your brand and your voice.

What value do we place on creativity?
