[WORKSHOP] Champions Who Don't Brag (But Probably Should) - I'm Remarkable - 3rd Edition

  • 1.  [WORKSHOP] Champions Who Don't Brag (But Probably Should) - I'm Remarkable - 3rd Edition

    I Am Remarkable – IBM Champions (Third Edition)

    Quick update: the first two editions 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

    [WORKSHOP] Champions Who Don't Brag (But Probably Should) - I'm Remarkable - 2nd Edition | IBM Champions

    I'm opening Round Three 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 was 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.  And remember - new year's resolution are VALID for the whole year. So April / May is good time to do it! It's never too late to make an impact.

    Let's make 2026 the year we ship boldly and speak proudly. You're remarkable - time to say it out loud.

    You can read about the workshop here: #IAmRemarkable Workshop - Unlock Your Achievements

    Later this or next week I will publish a survey for potential workshop date!

    YEAHH!!!

    Todd, I see you are US based, am I right? I'm asking, since the plan for 3rd edition is to do it in Americas friendly time zone.

    Also, - to all we are still short, since "my minimum" is 15 people - so if you all know others who could benefit from it - pls fwd. invite to them. They don't have to be champions only, being a fan of IBM is enough!!

    I'm interested but timing may be complex.  I'm in Australia (GMT + 10).  Afternoon in the Americas may be feasible for me.
