Juneteenth always makes me pause.

Not just because of what it represents historically, but because of what it requires from us now.

As a Black woman, I do not take freedom, access, education, opportunity, ownership, or being able to walk into certain rooms lightly. Often, I am the ONLY person who looks like me. I know there were people before me who prayed, worked, endured, sacrificed, resisted, and kept believing for a future they might never fully get to see.

And I also know I am not building just for me.

Yes, I want my family to be blessed. Yes, I want my daughter to see what is possible. Yes, I want to build a business that honors the gifts, experience, and calling God placed in me.

But I also know this work is bigger than my household. I know it’s bigger than just my close circle.

When I teach AI, speak, and train business owners, professionals, nonprofits, students, workforce partners, and community leaders, I am thinking about access. I am thinking about who gets left behind when technology moves fast. I am thinking about the people who need someone to make it plain, make it practical, and help them see that they belong in the conversation too.

I do what I do because doors were opened for me, and I have a responsibility to help open doors for others. Not just the people I know. Not just the people in the room right now. But the ones coming behind us. The ones watching. The ones yet to be born.

Juneteenth reminds us that progress is meaningful, even when it comes later than it should. Opportunity matters. Access matters. And making sure people have the tools, knowledge, and support to thrive in a changing world absolutely matters.

Today, I honor the ancestors. I thank God for how far He has brought us. And I recommit myself to doing work that is not just about personal success, but about purpose, access, legacy, and opening doors wider than I found them.

What are you reflecting on today regarding Juneteenth?

Happy Juneteenth. ❤️

PSA for my fellow female entrepreneurs:

This is EXACTLY where I am in life. I will not allow myself to be disrespected AND continue hanging around. Best believe this is a mindset that is not always easy, but it is necessary. And trust, I’m drilling this concept into my 21-ye old daughter. I never want her to put up people, characteristics, relationships, or work environments where she is disrespected. You will know peace that surpasses all understanding when you remove stress from your life.

Trust me! 💯

Before the week gets busy, here is one simple way to use AI that goes beyond making a to-do list.

Instead of asking, “Help me plan my week,” give AI the context you are comfortable sharing. That could be a screenshot of your calendar, a quick voice note, your deadlines, meetings, unfinished tasks, or the things already sitting heavy on your mind.

Then ask:

“Act as my strategic thought partner. Based on what I have coming up this week, help me identify the most important question I should be asking, the biggest risk I may be missing, what deserves my attention first, what can wait, and what I should protect time for. Do not just make me a to-do list. Help me think through the week. Ask me any clarifying questions needed for you to provide the best recommendations and strategic advice.”

That is where AI gets more useful.

Not just helping you do more, but helping you think better about what actually matters.

Try it today before Monday starts moving.

Quick recap from today in Austin.

Thank you to SCORE Austin and Shannon Black, SCORE Austin Chair, for inviting me to speak at the Tool Belt to Trades Ownership Conference.

I had the opportunity to lead a session on AI for trades professionals and business owners, and I loved the conversations that came out of it. The room was filled with people building businesses, solving real problems, serving customers, and thinking seriously about what ownership can look like in the trades.

There were great speakers, great attendees, and strong vendor connections throughout the day.

One of the highlights was meeting Karyn Buggs. She is one of those people you meet and immediately know there is alignment for future collaboration.

If you are a CFO, CPA, finance leader, or part of an association that serves those professionals, Karyn is someone you should have on your radar for speaking, workshops, and training. She brings practical insight that professional audiences can actually use.

Grateful for the new relationships made today and looking forward to what comes next.

I did not just start talking about AI when it became popular.

I opened ChatGPT during the first week of December 2022, within days of its public launch. By January 2023, I was already training professionals on practical ways to use generative AI.

🗣️ In 2025 alone, I delivered 63+ speaking and training engagements and trained more than 5,000 professionals. So far in 2026, I have completed 42 speaking and training engagements, and I am on pace to exceed last year’s activity.

I am sharing that because there is a difference between knowing about AI tools and knowing how to help real people use them in real work.

I have been in the rooms with business owners, nonprofit leaders, HR professionals, educators, workforce partners, chambers, EDCs, associations, public sector teams, students, faculty, staff, and industry-specific audiences.

And what I have learned is this: people do not need AI made more complicated. They need it made practical.

They need clear use cases, better questions, responsible use, human judgment, and the confidence to apply AI to the work sitting in front of them.

So for those who are new here, let me reintroduce myself.

I am Teri R. Moten, MBA, CAIO, AI Strategist for Business Leaders.

I help organizations, professionals, and communities move from AI curiosity to practical capability.

➡️ If your business, organization, chamber, association, nonprofit, school, or leadership team is trying to figure out practical AI training, DM me or email me at [email protected] to schedule a call. Let’s talk about what would actually make sense for your people.

ChatGPT had a lot of updates roll out this week, and honestly, I was not surprised.

Over the weekend and especially on Monday, ChatGPT was acting a little wonky. When that happens, I usually start wondering what is changing behind the scenes.

I even mentioned it during a training session with a group of business professionals this week. I told them, “Mark my words, some updates are probably coming soon.”

Well, lo and behold.

This week, OpenAI rolled out several ChatGPT updates that are worth paying attention to, especially if you use ChatGPT for business, planning, writing, research, communication, or day-to-day work.

✅ The model picker is being simplified.

This should make it easier for everyday users to choose between faster answers and deeper reasoning without having to understand every model name.

✅ ChatGPT can now create interactive charts in some answers.

That matters if you are trying to understand trends, comparisons, numbers, or business data faster.

✅ Longer conversations can now include a table of contents.

This is helpful if you use ChatGPT for planning, research, proposals, training outlines, long projects, or anything where the conversation starts getting lengthy.

✅ Writing blocks are getting stronger for longer-form work.

That includes reports, notes, blog posts, documents, and other business writing where you need more than a quick answer.

✅ Some users can now draft and send emails directly from ChatGPT.

If Gmail or Outlook is connected, ChatGPT can help draft the email and let you send it from the same conversation. That also means people need to be more thoughtful about permissions, review, and what they connect.

✅ Memory is getting better at staying updated.

This matters for ongoing projects, goals, preferences, repeated workflows, and anything where you do not want to keep re-explaining the same context.

✅ There are new security updates, including Active Sessions and Lockdown Mode.

That matters because the more connected AI becomes to our work, the more access control, security, and guardrails matter.

✅ Career support is becoming more built into the platform.

People have already been using ChatGPT for resumes, interview prep, LinkedIn profiles, cover letters, and job search strategy for a while. That part is not new.

What is different now is that OpenAI is building more of that workflow directly into ChatGPT, including live job listings, freelance opportunities, and resume formatting tied to specific roles.

That is the bigger point.

This is not just about new features.

It is about the direction these tools are moving.

ChatGPT is becoming more connected to writing, research, charts, communication, career support, memory, security, and workflow support.

That does not mean every person or every organization should turn on every feature.

It does mean business owners, leaders, and professionals need to understand what is changing, what is useful, what needs guardrails, and where human judgment still has to stay in the process.

AI literacy is not just learning prompts.

It is understanding how these tools are changing the way we work, communicate, analyze, make decisions, and manage information.

Have you noticed any of these changes in ChatGPT this week?
