#IamRemarkable is an initiative initially started to empower women and underrepresented groups to speak openly about their accomplishments in the workplace and beyond, thereby breaking modesty norms and glass ceilings. However, over the years, it got spread to everyone because irrespective of who we are and where we come from, talking about our accomplishments or what we are good at is most of the times considered bragging. The stigma still stays, and it gets even more difficult when we have to put ourselves out for our work or business.
As a facilitator, my role involves hosting workshops and being an ambassador for #IamRemarkable within my personal and professional networks.
