Why You Should Attend an I Am Remarkable Workshop
In this noisy and busy world, how do we take time to consider what makes us truly remarkable? How do we find our inner confidence to build our self-advocacy whether it be to enable career growth or to achieve personal success? Many of us struggle to recognise our own achievements, often downplaying our successes or hesitating to speak up about them. This is where the #IAmRemarkable workshop comes in, it is a transformative experience designed to help us embrace our accomplishments with confidence and honesty.
What is I Am Remarkable?
#IAmRemarkable is a global initiative, originally developed by Google, that aims to empower individuals, particularly those from underrepresented groups, to celebrate their achievements in both personal and professional settings. Through interactive discussions and thought-provoking exercises, the workshop challenges societal norms around self-promotion and provides participants with the tools to communicate their value effectively.
The Value of Attending an I Am Remarkable Workshop
- Overcoming the Fear of Self-Promotion
Many people hesitate to share their achievements due to fear of seeming boastful or arrogant. I Am Remarkable helps shift this mindset by reframing self-promotion as a means of inspiring others and advocating for oneself. - Building Confidence
Confidence is a crucial factor in career advancement, leadership, and personal development. This workshop creates a safe space where participants can reflect on their achievements and practice articulating them with pride. - Challenging Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is a common challenge, particularly among high-achievers. By participating in the I Am Remarkable workshop, individuals learn to recognise their worth and acknowledge their accomplishments without hesitation. - Creating a Supportive Network
One of the most impactful aspects of the workshop is the sense of community it fosters. Hearing others share their stories and struggles encourages a culture of mutual support and empowerment. - Practical Strategies for Self-Advocacy
The workshop provides actionable techniques to communicate achievements effectively, whether in job interviews, performance reviews, or networking events.
My Experience with I Am Remarkable
Attending an I Am Remarkable workshop in November last year was a game-changer for me. It made me realise how often I dismissed my achievements as “just what I do” or where I allowed my contributions to be minimised. By the end of the session, I felt empowered to not only recognise my accomplishments but also share them confidently. I was so moved by what I achieved that day that I signed up to train to become a facilitator. It was that good.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or hesitated to speak up about your achievements, I highly recommend attending an I Am Remarkable workshop. It’s a powerful experience that fosters self-awareness, confidence, and a supportive community dedicated to lifting each other up.
So, ask yourself: What makes you remarkable? Take a moment to reflect, embrace your value, and share your story—because we are all remarkable.
