#IamRemarkable — Everything you need to know!
Under the Google supported TalentSprint Women Engineers Program (2019–2021), I was privileged to attend the #IamRemarkable session in Hyderabad last year in the month of June.
The new workshops of train-the-trainer are back for this year and I am more than happy to spread the word about it. This article covers all the doubts and guidelines regarding becoming a #IamRemarkable facilitator.
What is #IamRemarkable?
#IamRemarkable is a Google initiative, started with the primary aim of empowering women and underrepresented groups but are now more open and versatile to celebrate anyone’s achievements in the workplace and beyond.
The major focus of this initiative is the self promotion motivation and skills of women and underrepresented groups. It also breaks the taboos around the perception around self promotion which general public sometimes consider as bragging.
How it works?
#IamRemarkable workshops are usually a 90 min session run by the facilitators trained by Google.
The workshop will highlight to participants the importance of self promotion in their careers and provide them with the tools to practice this skill.
