Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino talks with Chris Silvestri, founder and chief conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy. Chris brings a rare blend of backgrounds—software engineer, UX designer, and conversion copywriter—to tackle one of the toughest challenges in B2B: turning complex decision-making into clear, effective messaging. We dig into his AI-powered empathy framework, PATH, and explore how he uses customer research, simulated personas, and real language to help teams write content that connects. For anyone working in UX, product, or content, this is a masterclass in aligning messaging with how humans actually think, feel, and decide.Key TakeawaysEmpathy can be “engineered” – Chris shares his AI-powered PATH framework (Prepare, Articulate, Test, Harmonize) to simulate customer personas and deepen user empathy.Conversion is a series of micro-decisions – It's not just about a final click—every piece of copy should guide users through their decision-making process one step at a time.Vague messaging creates drop-off – If users can't understand what you do, who it's for, or why it's different in a few seconds, they'll bounce.Expectation-setting is everything – From homepage copy to “Book a Demo” CTAs, clear expectations can dramatically reduce friction and build trust.AI won't replace writers—it augments them – Used correctly, LLMs can simulate customers, test ideas, and accelerate iteration—if humans remain in the loop.UX, sales, and copy need a shared foundation – Chris's work helps unify these functions by anchoring messaging in customer research and decision psychology.Chapters00:00 – From Engineering to Empathy03:47 – Lessons from Dangerous Machines06:02 – The Pyramid of Conversion10:56 – Jobs to Be Done in B2B13:47 – Selling to the Whole Buying Team17:45 – Common Copy Mistakes25:45 – AI and Empathy: The PATH Framework31:00 – How Chris Uses AI Personas for Better Copy33:51 – AI as an Accelerator, Not a Replacement34:00 – From Copywriter to Conversion ArchitectResources & LinksConversion Alchemy Website, Newsletter, & PodcastConnect with Christopher Silvestri Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy

The public relations industry has long been recognized as a female-dominated field, with women making up approximately two-thirds of the workforce. However, when it comes to leadership, women remain significantly underrepresented, comprising just one-third of top-tier roles. This disparity raises critical questions about the systemic barriers that prevent women from rising to senior leadership positions in PR agencies and organizations.In this episode, we examine the challenges faced by women in their careers, the personal and societal factors that hinder their progress, and the strategies they've employed to overcome these obstacles. Sue Heuman is a strong female leader in the PR industry, a designated Master Communicator through IABC, Past Chair of the IABC Global Communication Certification Council, and an executive leader. Listen For7:35 Where Are the Mentors?9:38 Too Harsh or Too Soft?

Episode SummaryWhy does it feel like everyone is constantly on edge? In this episode of Jim's Take, Jim explores the steady erosion of civility in modern life. From political hostility to comment section outrage and tension in the workplace, he breaks down the core reasons we're seeing less respect and constructive dialogue—and what we can do to change that.Jim examines three key forces driving today's decline in civility:A divisive political climateThe rise of digital communication and loss of human nuanceEscalating stress and pressure in everyday lifeHe challenges listeners to reflect on how they respond to difficult situations, and whether they want to be remembered as someone who fuels division—or someone who brings people together.Key Topics CoveredWhy civility is more than just politenessHow political polarization has normalized disrespectThe impact of social media on empathy and accountabilityThe toll chronic stress takes on patience and behaviorMisconceptions around humility, empathy, and vulnerabilityThe importance of interacting with people who think differentlyWhy leading by example matters more than everSupporting Statistics85% of U.S. adults say the tone and nature of political debate has become more negative (Pew Research Center)88% of Americans believe political incivility is a serious problem (Georgetown University)Research shows digital communication reduces emotional cues, increasing misunderstandings and perceived rudenessThe American Psychological Association reports that high stress levels are linked to increased irritability and decreased civilityPractical TakeawaysDon't wait for others to model civility—be the exampleReplace assumptions with honest questionsEngage with new perspectives, not just familiar onesPractice self-reflection instead of reacting impulsivelyConsider reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius to ground your perspectiveThink long-term—civility builds relationship equity and trust over timeClosing Thought“You don't need to wait for someone else to set the example. Be the example. Get your manners back, smile, and take a deep breath. Civility starts with you.”Keywords (SEO Tags)civility in modern life, political division, social media and empathy, workplace communication, technology and behavior, stress and conflict, how to be civil, reclaim civility, Jim's Take podcast, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, political discourse, digital communication, Marcus Aurelius, personal growth podcastConnect and SubscribeListen to all episodes of Jim's Take on your preferred podcast platformShare your experiences or thoughts about today's episodeSubscribe for more weekly episodes on navigating modern life with clarity, calm, and intention

In a world where technology is increasingly intertwined with human emotions, a new frontier is emerging—artificial intelligence that can understand how we feel. Imagine an AI system that doesn't just analyze data but senses our emotional state through the words we choose, the way we describe our experiences, and even how consistently we check in with ourselves.This isn't science fiction. Advances in natural language processing, psychology, and machine learning are making it possible for AI to interpret human emotions with surprising accuracy. Researchers are now using AI-powered systems to classify mood states based on self-reported text, combining insights from neuroscience and behavioral psychology to enhance human decision-making.But how does an AI system detect emotions through words? What psychological theories guide its ability to distinguish between stress, motivation, or disengagement? And could this technology reshape how we interact with machines—perhaps even with one another?Listen For9:46 AI Can Accurately Estimate YOUR Emotional State12:34 AI Detects Emotions Before Humans Do18:41 Is this Ethical?22:48 Answer to Last Episode's Question From Guest Greg WassermanGuest: Michelle Baty, Neuro PsychologistThreads | Instagram | FacebookListen to Michelle on the Stronger by Design podcast with Michelle MacDonaldRate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteAre you a brand with a podcast that needs support?
