Join us for an online professional development training "Communication in the Age of Digitalization and AI," which will be led by YES alumna Simona Jendroska'10 from North Macedonia. The session is scheduled for August 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). Ever sent an email you agonized over for way too long? Or asked ChatGPT to help you write something and ended up sounding like... not you at all? Yeah, us too. That's why we're running this session: a real, interactive conversation about communicating well in a world that's more digital, more cross-cultural, and more AI-assisted than ever. We'll get into things like: Why "sorry to bother you, but..." is quietly sabotaging your emails How to actually sound like yourself across cultures, platforms, and audiences Using AI as a starting point, not a substitute for your own voice The small habits that make people trust what you're saying No lectures, no fluff — expect polls, live rewrites, and a few laughs. Come with your worst email draft and leave with a better one. Join Zoom Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/91233920073?pwd=PSKUhKblPGNYvmbKgmLvzbI2eFweeb.1 by @klyes.alumni
