Brain Fitness Coach
A.I. Intro Trainer
✨ About Me
Hi, I’m Shirley… a brain fitness coach, a teacher, workshop leader, artist, and curious explorer of all things creative and technological.
I created Alive Over 65 to empower seniors to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
As a former software instructor, TESOL educator in China, and Distinguished Toastmaster, I’ve spent a lifetime helping others grow – and now, I’m excited to guide seniors into the world of artificial intelligence.
When I first discovered tools like ChatGPT, I was amazed – not by the technology alone, but by how much it helped me compose songs, design videos, brainstorm ideas, and stay organized. I realized that AI isn’t just for techies – it’s for anyone with curiosity.
Now I lead friendly, hands-on training that help seniors:
- Chat with AI for fun, learning, and productivity
- Use AI to write messages, reminders, stories, and more
- Explore tools that support brain fitness including memory, creativity, and wellness
- Gain confidence and stay connected in today’s digital world
My workshops are practical, safe, and joyful. No experience needed – just an open mind and a sense of wonder!
Whether you’re 65 or 95, you can learn, grow, and contribute in this AI-powered world — and I’d love to show you how.
