It says online tickets have sold out?

So let’s:
✅ Use AI to support thinking, not skip it
✅ Reward curiosity, not just speed
✅ Prioritise discernment, not just delivery
Because when we think critically, we don’t just communicate — we build trust, spark change & create belonging.

As comms professionals, we’re not just messengers.
We’re interpreters, navigators, bridge-builders.
If we don’t challenge assumptions, we risk amplifying bias rather than understanding.

Critical thinking changes that.
It lets us:
– Ask better questions
– Spot ethical + emotional gaps
– Hold space for multiple perspectives

Too often, AI gets used to churn out more of what’s already out there.
We end up oversimplifying instead of communicating complexity, losing the humanity and trust that people actually connect to.

If any communications folk would like support or a listening ear, please do reach out. Be kind to yourselves.
