Happy Friday Reader! I'm finally home after an unforgettable wedding anniversary journey filled with love, laughter, and adventures in the snow. Coming back feels bittersweet, returning to our daily routines. During my travels, I found myself in many conversations about my career and my passion for encouraging more women to explore AI. It surprised me how many people are still unfamiliar with technologies like ChatGPT – it's a reminder that there's so much potential for us to grow and learn together. This year, I missed SXSW, a tech festival in Austin that I hold dear. Despite this, I want to share how I stay connected and informed about the latest technology, even when I can't attend in person. Let's delve into the heart of innovation together. Time to Tune In ❤️Each year, I eagerly anticipate SXSW in Austin. It's more than an event; it's a passion where I immerse myself in discussions about the future. This year, though, I had to experience it from afar, and here's how I managed to stay in the loop:
Ready to Gear Up 🧰Oh, and Amy Webb? She's my annual tech oracle 🔮. Her emerging tech report is my must-watch free YouTube recording. Her work as a futurist and her role at the Future Today Institute offers a deep dive into the technological trends shaping our world. This year, the 17th edition of the Tech Trends Report is something I looked forward to with great anticipation. In just 60 minutes, she dives into AI (and yes, it's everywhere), the new era of connected ecosystem of things (hello, Apple Vision Pro), and the intriguing world of biotechnology. If you thought AI was still a buzzword, Amy's session is a game-changer. Check it out for yourself. Put your Power Play on 🕹️Here's the thing — for me, the debate isn't really about whether AI or emerging tech is good or evil. It's all about what we do with it. But then, there's this nagging question: why should a handful of white tech guys hold all the cards? Amy throws this out there, calling out the tech "messiahs," honestly, I think it's time for a change. I'm all in for championing a diverse future and sparking the fire in more women to become the changemakers we desperately need. Ready to Accelerate 🚀Why wouldn't we, as women, want to be involved in shaping this next generation of technology? We know what it looks like when we aren't involved, so we must be involved. All right, team, here's our game plan:
Let's work together towards a more diverse and inclusive future in technology. As a woman defining AI, Nichole Sterling wrote yesterday on LinkedIn: "Remember, you are powerful. You are concerned for the right reasons, and it's because of those reasons that you must get involved in shaping the future of technology for our daughters, nieces, sons, and grandchildren. So, if you needed that additional kick in the pants - this is it. Let's get going." ❤️ from Venice Beach Simone |

Happy Friday Reader! I did it! I finally announced my partnership with Bitkom - a huge milestone for me, not only for my business but also for women in Germany. It marks the launch of the first official German Digital Fluency management course and certification aimed at accelerating the careers of even more women. I also want to thank you for all the lovely messages I received and to all the beta testers who signed up following my last newsletter about the free 5-day mail course & index,...
Happy Wednesday Reader! Today, I'm back with a bit of surprise. I'm launching my free 5-day email course called "Digital Fluency Bytes." It's a Quickstarter and Self-Assessment tool that will give you your personal Digital Fluency Index. That's why I've been a bit quieter over the past few weeks because I've been diligently working on the course. Next week, I'm launching it, specifically looking for women in my network to be the first to test it. If you're interested in joining this selected...
Happy Friday! This week was a good one, and it's time to celebrate some little milestones as a solopreneur who often struggles with imposter syndrome. Let’s start: today marks the 40th issue of my newsletter! This is a significant milestone for me in transforming from never writing to showing up every week (well, every other week or so 😊). I'm thrilled to announce that I've teamed up with a partner. Together, we're planning a masterclass explicitly tailored for my German audience. This is a...
