Yesterday, Molly showed us how to turn what we do into an infographic… and then animate it. So I took a shot at it. As a Lead Tech Mentor at The Arc of Virginia, I’ve always known what I do—but I realized something: 👉 Every time someone asked me “What do you do?”…the answer came out a little different each time. So I created this 👇 An animated infographic that clearly shows: - Who I help - The challenges people face with technology - What I actually do - And the impact it has Now instead of trying to explain it…👉 I can just show it And honestly?This is something I can use: - At events - In conversations - Even when family asks what I do 😄 Helping people move from uncertainty to confidence—one tech skill at a time. Curious—have you ever tried turning what you do into something visual like this? Would love your thoughts on it 👇

Turning digital skills into real-world impact—and now leveling that up with AI 🚀 Hey everyone! I’m Shawn from Virginia 👋 I’m a Lead Tech Mentor at The Arc of Virginia, supporting mentors in helping others build digital skills and confidence. I’m excited to learn how to use AI to enhance training, simplify content, and better support the people we serve. I’m also launching my travel agency business—focused on growth, momentum, and getting my time back 🚀 Most excited to learn AI for content, marketing, and smarter systems!

I find myself saying things frequently like “we just discussed this, what did you not understand the first time?”. As a daily user I am looking forward to learning how to communicate more effectively.

One of my biggest realizations today was this… 👉 I belong here. Even though I don’t own a business yet…Even though I work for a small nonprofit as a Lead Tech Mentor at The Arc of Virginia… I realized I’m still meant to be in this room, learning, growing, and stepping into what’s possible. 💡 Big Win #1: AI isn’t just a tool… it’s a TIME MULTIPLIER What really clicked for me is this: 👉 AI can help me automate parts of my life and work👉 Which means I get time back Time back to: - Spend time in God’s Word 🙏 - Stay consistent in the gym 💪 - Build my future business 📈 - AND even simple things like going to a movie and dinner with a friend without feeling rushed 🎬🍽️ That hit me hard. It’s not just about getting more done…It’s about getting my life back. ⚡ Big Win #2: There are LEVELS to using AI Another big shift for me was realizing: I don’t have to keep going back to AI every time and saying“do this, do that…” 👉 I can start automating recurring things - Weekly updates - Social posts - Content creation - Even things like my daily gym progress posts That shift from:➡️ using AI manuallyto➡️ thinking in systems and automation …was HUGE. 🤯 Big Win #3 (and honestly… the biggest one) Everything Molly showed us… I was like: 👉 “Wait… you can do THAT with AI?!” 😳🔥 - Turning ideas into visuals - Creating infographics - Even ANIMATING them I literally had goosebumps. And immediately my brain went to: - “I can use this to explain what I do at The Arc to my family” - “I can use this for my future travel business” - “I can use this for my cruise Facebook group content” That was the moment where it all stopped being “cool”… and became REAL. ❤️ The moment that meant the most At the end of the day, during Tony’s priming exercise… Something shifted. As we were going through gratitude and proud moments…I started getting emotional. Because I realized: 👉 I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. This opportunity…The timing…Even the shift in my job that allows me to be here…

I can not wait for Day 2!
