Thrilled to Be a Finalist in the 21st Annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business

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!

What Makes the Stevie Awards So Special?

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!
