SUMMARY:March 2025 Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:AI Anxiety\nTurning Fear Into Fuel for Your Future\nIMPORTANT: Registration Deadline: Midnight\, March 8\, 2025\nEvent date: Wednesday\, March 19\, 2025\n\nWhen faced with rapid change—like the rise of AI—our minds often react with fear and resistance: “I don’t know how to do this.” “What if AI takes away the unique\, personal touches that make my work stand out?” “How am I supposed to learn all this new technology?”\nThese thoughts don’t just block progress; they cut us off from the incredible opportunities change can bring. In this engaging and deeply personal session\, you’ll learn how to identify limiting thoughts\, trace the fears behind them\, and reframe them to create space for curiosity and growth. Through real-life examples of how I’ve used AI in resourceful\, surprising ways\, you’ll see how shifting your mindset can lead to extraordinary outcomes. This isn’t about the tech—it’s about the mindset that empowers you to lead confidently in a world of constant transformation. \nKey Outcomes:\n• Identify and Reframe Limiting Thoughts\nParticipants will uncover and address common fears about AI\, such as the worry that it could replace their unique contributions\, diminish creativity\, or make their skills less relevant. Through this process\, they’ll learn to see AI not as a threat\, but as a powerful tool to amplify ingenuity\, enhance problem-solving\, and unlock new opportunities for growth and impact. \n• See Mindset in Action Through Real-Life Stories\nDiscover how I’ve used AI in practical\, creative\, and unexpected ways to enhance my work\, streamline my life\, and achieve extraordinary outcomes. These personal stories will inspire participants to rethink what’s possible for themselves. \n• Learn the SHIFT Framework to Turn Resistance Into Resilience\nLeave with a repeatable mindset framework that guides you from resistance to resilience. Learn to spot limiting beliefs\, uncover hidden fears\, and reframe them into opportunities for curiosity and growth. \nAbout Ann: \n\nAnn Rivera – Human Optimization Expert at Neesh AI & High-Performance Mindset Coach \nAnn Rivera is a dynamic coach\, speaker\, author and innovator whose journey spans from the courts of professional athletics to the forefront of human potential and AI technology integration.
