Thank you for the clarification, and I really appreciate the invitation. I'd be glad to join the session.

Hey Satyapal,
You are more than welcome to join the session but please be aware that this is NOT about becoming an IBM Champion or what the Champion program is about. This workshop is personal initiative to help Champions and others to be proud of their expertise and the achievement they did.
For more info on the IBM Champion program, see here: https://www.ibm.com/community/champions-program/
Or ask on IBM Community.

Dear Champions,
I'd like to join to learn what it takes to become a Champion, so I selected the January 30 slot. Hope that works.
Regards

We have already around 15 potential people interested, so I've provided 3 time-slots.
Please go and vote, if you are ok with more than 1 slot please choose all slots. I will deliver the sessions during the slot that will have the biggest "vote count".

As already stated - but will repeat here - this is workshop, so recording will not be available, also we will be applying "Vegas" rules - whatever happens during the workshop, stays between participants!
See you soon! Thanks!!
Thanks!

New Year, same brilliance - now with extra volume.
I Am Remarkable – IBM Champions (Second Edition)
Happy 2026, Champions! May your deploys be drama-free!!
Quick update: the first edition of I'm Remarkable is done and dusted-and the energy was chef's kiss.
Curious what people said? Read the recap & feedback here → [WORKSHOP] Champions Who Don't Brag (But Probably Should) | IBM Champions
Now, because "New Year, new me" is nice but New Year, louder me is better,
I'm opening Round Two of the I Am Remarkable workshop - just for the IBM Champions community.
Why join (again or for the first time)?
Because talking about our achievements shouldn't feel harder than debugging prod on a Friday. This 90‑minute, zero‑awkwardness session gives you practical tools to:
- Share your wins without cringing (or rambling)
- Advocate for yourself in a healthy, human way
- Turn "I'll just get it done quietly" into "I did it-and here's the impact"
What it is:
I Am Remarkable is a global initiative that helps people speak confidently about what they've accomplished-not bragging, just honest recognition. We'll nudge past the social norms that make self‑promo weird and build habits that make it feel normal.
Logistics (light and friendly):
- Format: 90 minutes, online
- When: Late European time (I'll propose a few options)
- Who: IBM Champions / IBM'emers / Friends / EVERYONE
- Cost: Free (volunteer-led, my way of giving back)
- Go/No-Go: If we hit 15+ interested folks, we lock it in
If your New Year's resolution includes speaking up about your impact (and actually feeling good about it), DM me "I'm in" and I'll add you to the list or drop a comment here in this thread! Hit the magic number, and we're on.
Let's make 2026 the year we ship boldly and speak proudly. You're remarkable - time to say it out loud.
