Game Changed!

My Transformative Journey with the GameChangers Accelerator


As I stand at the precipice of a significant milestone, graduating from the GameChangers Accelerator Program, I am compelled to share my exhilarating journey with you. This 12-week adventure has been more than an educational pursuit; it has been a transformative experience that has reshaped my professional landscape and redefined my aspirations.


Embarking on a Dream

When I first joined the GameChangers Accelerator, my goals were ambitious yet clear. I aimed to deepen my understanding and skills in AI technology, not just as a professional asset but as a personal growth tool. My ultimate objective was to create an innovative app that would introduce a new, technology-driven revenue stream to my business. With a heart brimming with excitement, a small glimmer of uncertainty, and a mindset on transcending limiting beliefs, I embarked on what I anticipated to be a challenging yet rewarding journey.




A Deep Dive into the Program

The program covered a comprehensive set of topics that provided robust information to support my business growth.


1. Project Management Mastery:

The Project Management section was like revisiting familiar territory but with a fresh perspective. The content, though familiar from my background in technology, was presented in an easily digestible and comprehensive manner. This section laid a robust foundation for my later endeavors in app development, blending theoretical knowledge with practical application seamlessly.


2. Marketing Magic Unleashed:

The Marketing Section was a game-changer for me. As I was reevaluating my business brand for the launch of new services, including my app, the insights provided were incredibly timely and relevant. The section went beyond traditional marketing strategies, delving into how AI can be leveraged to refine brand strategies. The discussions around marketing funnels and Leanstack business growth were particularly enlightening, offering unexpected yet invaluable knowledge.


3. UX/UI Insights:

The UI/UX Section was a treasure trove of valuable concepts, tools, and exercises. While I plan to outsource this aspect of my business, the understanding I gained is crucial for evaluating and guiding future UI/UX work. This knowledge ensures that I can make informed decisions and maintain high standards for the user experience aspects of my projects.


4. No-Coding Revolution:

The No-Coding Section was the highlight of the program for me. It opened up a new realm of possibilities, showing how technology can be accessible and transformative for anyone with a vision. The instructors provided a solid foundation in this rapidly evolving field and guided us to resources for continued learning. Learning multiple no-coding tools has given me the flexibility to bring my ideas to life in ways I never thought possible.


Reflecting on the Overall Experience

Reflecting on my time with the GameChangers Accelerator, I am struck by the program's comprehensive and well-structured approach. Each module was not just informative but also highly applicable to real-world scenarios. The balance between theoretical learning and practical application was masterfully maintained, ensuring that we were not just passive learners but active participants.


The support and expertise provided by the DVNC and DiverseForce teams were exceptional. Their responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond in assisting us, whether it was clarifying complex topics or providing additional resources, were remarkable. The instructors, with their wealth of knowledge and experience, shared not just the 'what' but the 'how' of implementing best practices.


The diversity of my cohort added another layer of richness to the experience. Engaging with professionals from various backgrounds brought diverse perspectives and ideas, fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.


Tangible Outcomes

The outcomes of my participation are multifaceted. Here are the most impactful ones!


  1. Personal Branding Realized: My branding is crafted and implemented.

  2. Community Engagement: I've launched an executive community and blog

  3. App Innovation: My app, Exemplar Executive Coach, is a tangible testament to the skills and knowledge gained.





Future Plans

This is just the beginning. There's lots more on the horizon.


  1. Immediate Action: Launching user testing for 'Exemplar Executive Coach'. Join here to shape its future.

  2. Short-Term Goal: A soft launch in Q2 2024, aligning with other exciting developments at my firm.

Looking ahead, I am excited to initiate user testing for my app, inviting executives to provide feedback and shape its future. The next few months are strategically planned, with a soft launch in Q2 2024 and a public launch in about six months. We are crafting a comprehensive promotional plan, including social media, podcasts, and live events. Within a year, we aim to introduce a premium version of the app and offer enterprise packages for organizational development.
