“I am now building a company at the intersection of AI literacy and professional development”

I had a mission. What I didn’t have was the courage to call myself an entrepreneur.

Not long ago, I was an AI skeptic. Alarmed. Frustrated. Watching artificial intelligence upend everything I had come to know about work, leadership, and life. I had spent more than two decades building a distinguished career — senior-level federal service, C-suite leadership, organizational development, graduate-level education. I had navigated change in every form. But AI felt different. It felt like a threat to everything professionals like me had worked so hard to build.

Then a trusted colleague, Dr. Stacey Gee Hollins, invited me to a course on Leadership with AI — for Women in Leadership offered by GEENIUS. I went in skeptical. I came out transformed. Suddenly I wasn’t just a reluctant observer of the AI revolution — I was a believer. More than that, I became a woman with a mission: to help others move through the fear I had just overcome, and to show them how to leverage AI with confidence, dignity, and purpose. The mission was clear. But the business? That was another story.

The turning point.

I had the vision. I had the frameworks — my G.R.A.C.E. Model™ and my Digital Dignity Doctrine™. I had the credentials, the experience, and the deep conviction that this work needed to exist in the world. What I lacked was the entrepreneurial architecture to bring it all to life. I wasn’t sure how to structure my offer, scale my impact, or step fully into the identity of a founder building something global from the ground up.

Entrepreneurship Mastery 2025 changed that. What this program gave me wasn’t just strategy — it gave me permission. Permission to see myself not just as a senior leader, an educator, or a federal executive, but as an entrepreneur with something truly original to offer the world. It helped me understand that my decades of experience weren’t just a resume — they were the foundation of a movement. I began to see my new business not as a side venture, but as the culmination of everything I have ever done and everywhere I have ever been — from the United States to Europe, from federal boardrooms to university classrooms, from skeptic to advocate. This work is the thread that ties it all together.

What is possible now. I am now building a company at the intersection of AI literacy, career transition, and professional development — anchored by a conviction that transcends industry, sector, and geography: people everywhere deserve to engage with AI on their own terms, with dignity. That is not just a tagline. It is my life’s next chapter.

I am developing real-world systems, processes, and products designed to move individuals and organizations from fear to fluency — from Washington, D.C. to enterprises across continents. I am building the kind of legacy that outlasts a title or a position.

Entrepreneurship Mastery didn’t just teach me how to build a business. It helped me see that I already was one. I just needed the clarity, the framework, and the community to step fully into that truth. Thanks Mindvalley!
