💬 How we communicate can shape how we’re perceived at work, and, in turn, the opportunities we receive.

A new Harvard Business Review research article examines how speech patterns can influence workplace outcomes, highlighting an important leadership lesson: communication is about more than simply getting a message across. The way we listen, speak, and connect with others can play an important role in professional interactions.

For today’s business professionals, strong communication, critical thinking, leadership, and interpersonal skills are increasingly valuable. At the University of Fairfax, business programs are designed to help professionals develop skills such as strategic leadership, financial analysis, operations management, and technology strategy.

🤖 AI can make communication faster, but can it make it better?

A recent Harvard Business Review IdeaCast explores how leaders are using AI to synthesize information, structure ideas, prepare for difficult conversations, and rehearse high-stakes communication. The discussion also highlights an important leadership challenge: maintaining judgment, empathy, accountability, critical thinking, and an authentic human voice when using AI.

For tomorrow’s business leaders, knowing when to leverage AI, and when human judgment needs to lead, is becoming an essential skill.

At University of Fairfax, our Business programs help students build practical knowledge across areas such as business administration, management, accounting, and leadership, preparing them to navigate an evolving business environment.
