#MeetOurPlatinumFacilitators #IAmRemarkable Today, we're highlighting @akua_nm from Ghana. ➕ How long have you been running workshops? I have been running workshops since 2020 ➕ How many people you've trained? 1179 people. I am a Platinum tier facilitator. ➕ In which languages do you deliver workshops? In English ➕ How do you #InspireInclusion? I #InspireInclusion by attempting to bring as much of myself to my facilitation. I don't share everything, but I love how diverse my open #IAmRemarkable workshops are. I am a third-culture adult, so I always share how my parents are from two continents and how people say my name differently. I inspire inclusion by modeling how we are unique and have much to contribute to this conversation. ➕ What advice would you give to individuals who struggle with self-promotion in order to gain recognition for their achievements? Start small and start internally. Focus on reminding yourself and tracking your achievements. Each day, I write down three wins, and it helps to reinforce that I am making progress. Sometimes I say them outloud to myself. I have that list beside me if I ever feel stuck or beat myself up for a mistake I made. It is so easy for us to get caught up in the negative that we must actively build routines to remind ourselves we are incredible. ➕What has been your favourite moment from an #IAmRemarkable workshop? So many to choose from. Anytime someone realizes that they are not alone, I get excited. We naturally stereotype and jump to conclusions, so when I host an open workshop, people come from all over the world and quickly see that self-promotion is a topic everyone struggles with. ➕Can you share any personal experiences or anecdotes where embracing self-promotion positively impacted your career trajectory or opportunities? I would not be where I am today without being involved in #IAmRemarkable. I have worked for myself for over 5 years and needed to learn how to put myself out there in an authentic and genuine way. Hosting #IAmRemarkable workshops reminds me of the importance of self-promotion and that it starts internally. Through being part of this initiative, I have built amazing relationships and a six-figure leadership-focused consultancy. I am not only more confident sharing my values and work, but I am even more confident advocating for myself and setting boundaries. ➕In your experience, what impact does self-promotion have on career advancement, particularly for underrepresented groups? It can be a game changer. Recognizing and acknowledging your value goes far beyond getting a pay raise. I always share in my workshops that self-promotion starts internally and is closely related to practicing self-love and gratitude. Knowing your value means that you will be able to find better opportunities where you are adding, not just fitting in. Knowing your value and being able to communicate it means you can share what you can contribute to the right people. ❔What's one feedback you received from a participant that will stay with you forever? A parent who joined the session told me that the workshop made her reflect on how differently she treats her daughter and son regarding 'self-promotion' and sharing their successes in school. She realized that she told her daughter that being a lady meant she had to be humble and quiet but allowed her son to 'brag' loudly about his good grades when he came home. 🙏Thank you Akua for supporting so many people in rediscovering what makes them remarkable! ======== ✔ Want to learn more about #IAmRemarkable? https://t.co/xWfUMFzSvi 🔵 Want to attend an #IAmRemarkable workshop? https://t.co/QRhUHdTBoT ⚪ Want to become an official #IAmRemarkable facilitator? https://t.co/8iWkUQkrxw
