Annual All-Star Award Nomination – Votes Needed!
I am excited to share that I have been nominated for this year’s All-Star award at Community Summit for my community contributions around AI Agents and Copilot! I am not just humbled by this but SHOCKED!
When I set out on this journey a little over a year ago, my commitment was to share my story about learning to use Copilot, and hopefully help others experience less ‘pain’ in the process. It’s exciting to me to hear from folks who are relating to my experiences! So whether you are either laughing at me (like I do LOL) or using my stumbles to help you save you time, thank you for giving it a shot and riding with me during this fun time!
Initially this was a year long journey but I DO intend to continue to share my experiences through the many blogs and podcasts for the foreseeable future – you’re stuck with me, I guess haha. – thank you all so much for your continued support!
Voting is easy, and quick, and you can only vote once per category! Voting ends September 4th, so vote now! VOTE HERE
There are several folks nominated and I am honored to be considered in this same list – honestly, not just saying that. If you feel so inclined to vote for me, thank you (sincerely)!!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing my journey and look forward to continuing using Microsoft Copilot every single day, trying to be a better version of myself; The World’s Okayest Shawn.
Congratulations to my fellow nominees (listed below) – a bright, curious and motivated group and I am honored to be considered amongst them, that’s for sure.
Thank you!
