Smarter, Better, Faster…
Still you.
AI training for Speechwriters and Communicators who refuse to be replaced, but are wise enough to evolve.
Some speechwriters and communicators using AI feel like they're cheating.
You're not.
AI is a tool — and I'll show you how to use it responsibly, ethically, and without losing what makes you great at your craft.
I've spent two decades as a speechwriter for UN Climate Change, prime ministers, Fortune 500 CEOs and ambassadors. Today, I help speechwriters and communications teams navigate AI without losing their souls.
I know the fear. You've spent years building your craft — and now it feels like AI might make it obsolete. Or you're being told to "just use ChatGPT" without any real guidance on where to start or how it actually works.
I don't teach AI like a tech evangelist. I teach it as a working speechwriter and communications expert who's with you in the trenches and understands what you actually need.
Join me for a intensive four-day, online workshop that I deliver with the Professional Speechwriters Association, or get it designed specifically for your corporate team.
This is completely designed for the specific needs of speechwriters and executive communicators.
The AI Workshop I Wish I’d Had
The question is no longer whether to use AI in your communications. It's how.
In this hands-on course, you'll learn practical techniques for integrating AI into your speechwriting and executive communications work—without losing your voice, your ethics, or your soul.
I'll walk you through:
Generative AI for research, structure, and composition
Advanced workflows for editing, fact-checking, and coaching
AI for strategic communications planning
Real-world Q&A with industry leaders
By the end of four days, you will have a tested toolkit of prompts and frameworks you can use immediately — and a clearer sense of how AI fits (and doesn't fit) into your work as a communicator.

About Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Brent Kerrigan — I write speeches for global leaders and provide AI training for the people behind them. I’ve got more than 20 years of experience writing for world leaders, CEOs, and international organizations.
I’m not an academic or a consultant looking in from the sidelines. I’m a working speechwriter and communications strategist — still crafting messages for major global events, world leaders, and executive teams every day.
Alongside that work, I provide AI training for Leadership Communications in coordination with the Professional Speechwriters Association. We help communicators explore how emerging technologies such as AI can strengthen their craft. Not as a replacement, but as a tool to augment their work. It’s not a few prompts — it’s an immersive four-day course constantly updated and designed for individuals as part of larger communications teams.
My experience includes:
Senior speechwriter for two UN orgs and as a ministerial writer with the Government of Canada;
A pioneer of online speechwriting training through Global Speechwriter;
A trainer and mentor to speechwriters and communications professionals across sectors.
An advocate for ethical, human-first communication in the AI era.
Worried that AI is going to leave you behind? Don’t be. Let’s explore it calmly, rationally and in a judgement-free zone. Not a “tech person”? Don’t worry, there’s no need — I’ve got you.
By the end of our AI For Leadership Communications course, you’ll be able to:
Master how to use AI ethically and responsibly as a research tool to augment your work on speech structure, tone, putting numbers into context, metaphors and rhetorical devices.
Incorporate AI into your work as a communicator, including communications strategies, plans, audience and stakeholder mapping, interview preparation, key messaging and much more.
Use AI as a creative partner to turn your ideas into well-crafted speeches.
Our workshop goes beyond theory: it offers practical improvements to give anyone involved in leadership communications the latest tools to complement their work and boost their brand and value.
