#IamRemarkable is a Google initiative empowering women and under-represented groups to speak openly about their accomplishments in the workplace and beyond, thereby breaking modesty norms and glass ceilings. The presentation is designed for both women and men, to discuss inclusion & diversity that often leads to reflexion and improvement. The #IamRemarkable Experience was facilitated by Melanie Lapointe, who was featured as the most International External Facilitator for 2019 Q1 by Google.

#IamRemarkable program aims to:
1. Improve the motivation and self-promotion skills of all
2. Change social perceptions and refresh the conversation around self-promotion, encouraging both women and men to support one another in their career development

The #IamRemarkable by Google initiative is all about supporting individuals to blossom in the workplace. The core objective being to encourage self-promotion and supporting others in their self-promote effort, it aligns wonderfully with diversity & inclusion values. A forceful way for women and underrepresented groups to close the gap of representation at higher level management positions is taking control of their self-promotion and influencing how others perceive them, having the confidence to share their added value for advancement and recognition.
