Diversity Discussion Series: #IAmRemarkable

Many of us struggle when it comes to talking about our own accomplishments. Cultural and gender modesty norms as well as impostor syndrome can prevent anyone from acknowledging their remarkable attributes and expressing their achievements. 

Google’s worldwide #IamRemarkable initiative strives to empower women and underrepresented groups to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond. At the heart of this initiative is an interactive facilitated workshop during which you will learn the importance of self-promotion in your personal and professional life. 

By attending the workshop, you will walk away equipped with tools to comfortably share your accomplishments, challenge the social perception around self-promotion, and reflect on how we can all be better allies and advocates for underrepresented groups so that together we can build a more inclusive world.
