#IamRemarkable [Workshop]

Hello LTUX community and friends!

We hope you're all doing well as we head towards the end of the year. We are thrilled to announce that our next event is a workshop as there has been a keen interest from the community. What could be a more fitting way to wrap up the year than by taking time to reflect and be empowered by celebrating our achievements🌟

(Please note that this workshop has limited capacity. We'd love for you to join so RSVP only if you can attend.)

-Workshop-
Self-promotion is a key skill we need to grow our careers, whether you are looking for your first job, trying to get a promotion or negotiating better pay. Yet no one teaches us how to. Instead, there are gender and cultural modesty norms telling us not to.

#IamRemarkable is an initiative empowering women and people from underrepresented groups to speak openly about their accomplishments in the workplace and beyond, thereby breaking modesty norms and glass ceilings. Learn more at https://rmrkblty.org/.

In this session, you will participate in group discussions and exercises to develop the confidence and skills to promote yourself effectively.
