What #IamRemarkable Participants Are Saying
“The idea of sharing accomplishments based on facts isn’t bragging. I always think of Kristen Wigg’s SNL character. We all know someone who “toots their horn” too much - the thing Lindsey shared about the spectrum of not talking about anything to oversharing was eye opening!”
"Wow, these stories run deep and your workshop helped me realize that! I deserve to own my successes!"
“I would recommend the IAmRemarkable workshop hosted by Lindsey to anyone! She is an amazing facilitator. She is funny, kind, engaging, and encourages non-judgmental interaction throughout the whole talk. She does a great job speaking right to each person and getting us involved, even with a large number of attendees. I can see why she's a Top 100 Global Facilitator!”
“Lindsey was awesome! She kept the energy up and did a great job engaging the group and helping us create a safe space very quickly with the participants online. That's a tough thing to do!”
“I’ve been tracking my accomplishments since our session together and I see myself so differently! Thanks for the suggestion.”
“Lindsey, wanted you to know I finally scheduled a meeting with my manager to fill her in on the project I’m leading! Thanks for the nudge!
“I didn’t realize how much I was holding myself back. Love having the accountability to own my successes. Thanks Lindsey!”
