AMANDA GUZMAN: LeanIn.org's mission
is to help women achieve their ambitions
and to help create a more equal world.
We are partnering with #IamRemarkable
to lead a session, and we are very, very excited
to bring these teachings to our circle leaders today.
JULIA SILVA: #IamRemarkable is a 90-minute workshop focused
on presenting the information as to why self-promotion
is important.
And then from there, if you're interested in becoming
a facilitator, you're given the tools
to be able to take this to your Lean In circles and networks.
One of the most incredible things
that I left this workshop with was this line.
It is not bragging if it's based on facts.
Write down all of the ways that you are remarkable.
Small or big, it doesn't matter.
Think about everything.
SPEAKER 1: #IamRemarkable because I worked full time
as a single mom.
SPEAKER 2: Because I never take no for an answer.
SPEAKER 3: Because I'm just a simple girl from the west side
of Chicago, but somehow I find myself in rooms like this.
[APPLAUSE]
LEILA BAZZI: It was not easy at all
to write down the achievements.
TIERRA WILLIAMS: I don't often write them down.
I just do the mom thing and achieve.
RISAKO NINOMIYA: But as I started hearing
about other stories, that gave me confidence.
MELODY MITCHELL: The energy in the room was electric.
TIERRA WILLIAMS: Now I can add this content into my circles.
JULIA SILVA: #IamRemarkable and LeanIn, it's
a perfect partnership.
Everyone who has come up to me afterwards
has been really excited to be able to become facilitators
themselves.
AMANDA GUZMAN: I believe our leaders will
be able to bring home the lessons they learned
in the workshop and spread them to their circles
and far beyond.
