So, there’s something exciting I’ve been keeping under wraps, and I’m finally ready to share it with you. I’m honored to be named a finalist in the 21st Annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business! Yep, that’s right—I’m up for Mentor or Coach of the Year – Business, and I’ve got to say, this is a pretty awesome moment. It’s one of those milestones where you pause, reflect on the work you’ve done, and think, Wow, this is all coming together. It’s been an incredible journey, and having this recognition feels like a high-five to everything we’ve accomplished together.
If you’ve been alongside me on this ride, you already know how much I care about making AI fun, practical, and—most importantly—accessible. So, this finalist spot? It’s a win not just for me but for all of us who’ve embraced AI and pushed the limits of what’s possible. And trust me, I couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you!
Alright, let’s chat about the Stevie Awards for a second. These are not just any awards—they’re the gold standard when it comes to recognizing women in business. Imagine them as the Grammys of the business world, celebrating powerhouse women who are leading, innovating, and making serious waves. This year alone, there were over 1,500 nominations from 36 countries—that’s huge! So, being named a finalist is a big deal.
What I love about the Stevies is how they honor not just the big wins but also the passion, hustle, and dedication that goes into building something meaningful. It’s about the journey—the challenges we face, the obstacles we push through, and the ways we lift each other up. And for me, just being part of this community of incredible women leaders feels like a win in itself!
Being a finalist for Mentor or Coach of the Year? Now that’s something that truly hits home for me. Mentorship is such a huge part of what I do, especially when it comes to helping entrepreneurs unlock the full potential of AI. AI can feel complex or even out of reach, but I’ve always been driven to change that perception. My mission is to make AI approachable and game-changing for everyone, not just the tech-savvy.
Through my Certified AI Consultant Program and workshops, I’ve had the privilege of seeing so many entrepreneurs discover how AI can totally transform their businesses. It’s that moment when someone realizes, “Wait, I can actually do this?” that makes it all worthwhile. So this nomination? It’s really a reflection of all the incredible people I’ve worked with—you—who’ve embraced AI and used it to level up in ways they never thought possible.
Now, if you’ve been following along with me for a while, you already know what AI Innovision is all about—making AI not just accessible, but also fun (because why not?). Sure, AI can seem intimidating, but here’s the thing—it doesn’t have to be. At AI Innovision, we’ve built programs that strip away the complexity and turn AI into a tool you can use to scale your business, automate tasks, and ultimately, save time.
The best part? We’ve seen the impact firsthand. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or leading a bigger team, we’ve helped businesses across the board transform how they operate using AI in ways that are practical and easy to implement. And while this Stevie nomination feels like a nod to our mission, I see it as just the beginning of what we’re building together. We’re proving every day that AI isn’t just for the tech giants—it’s for anyone ready to embrace the future and run with it!
So, mark your calendars for November 8, 2024! That’s when the Stevie Awards event goes down in New York City, and I’ll be there, along with some of the most inspiring women from around the world. The energy in that room is going to be electric, with everyone gathered to celebrate each other’s successes. I have a feeling it’s going to be a night to remember.
And hey, I’m not going to lie—I’d love to bring home the award. But honestly? Just being named a finalist already feels like a huge win. It’s about everything that’s led up to this point—the amazing people I’ve met, the businesses I’ve been able to help, and the impact we’ve made together. No matter what happens on the big night, I already feel like we’ve achieved something incredible.
Before I wrap this up, I just want to take a moment to thank you. Yes, YOU! Whether you’re a client, a collaborator, or someone who’s been cheering me on from afar, this nomination is a reflection of all the support, trust, and energy we’ve shared along the way. You’ve been part of this journey, and this moment belongs to all of us.
There’s so much more ahead, and I can’t wait to see where we go next. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, exploring what AI can do, and—most importantly—celebrating the wins, big or small. Who knows? Maybe the next award will be yours!
Thanks again for being part of this incredible journey.
