AI adoption is moving fast. But are organizations keeping up with the people expected to use it?

New Gallup/SCSP research found that while 51% of Americans now use AI, only 16% have received AI training from their employer.

That gap matters.

AI training shouldn’t stop at learning how to prompt a tool. People also need to understand when to rely on AI, when to question it, and what still requires human judgment.

At Pinnacle, human skills are what we do best. And now, we’re exploring how AI can help amplify those skills, boosting efficiency and optimizing the way we work without losing what makes us human.

Stay tuned. There’s more to come.

Executive presence goes hand in hand with the ability to communicate with confidence and command a room. At Pinnacle, we believe great speakers are made, not born.

In this video, we revisit the story of King George VI and how working with an acting coach helped him overcome his fear of public speaking and develop the confidence, presence, and gravitas he needed to lead his nation through one of its most challenging moments.

The lesson? Confidence may not come naturally, but it can be developed.

Your visuals matter, but more isn’t always better.

The right visual can help your audience pay attention, understand your message, and remember what matters.

At Pinnacle, we believe communication is most effective when it connects. And the right visual can help your message do just that.

Your team doesn’t necessarily need more communication. They need more clarity.

More meetings. More emails. More updates. But if people still don’t know what to do, why it matters, or what comes next, communication isn’t doing its job.

Great leaders don’t just communicate. They create clarity.

Explore how clear communication can become one of your most powerful leadership tools in our latest blog:

🌎 On Global Talent Acquisition Day, we’re recognizing the importance and impact of communication throughout the candidate experience from the first impression to the final conversation.

"81% of job seekers say they’re more likely to apply when a job posting mentions an employer’s core values."*

How you communicate the role, your culture, and what your organization stands for matters. But communication doesn’t stop once someone clicks “apply.”

"49% of job seekers say they would never apply to a company again if they weren’t updated on their application status."**

From attracting the right talent to keeping candidates engaged throughout the process, every interaction communicates something about your organization.

Because in talent acquisition, how you communicate matters just as much as what you communicate.
