What does it mean to you to be a finalist for this award?

It's humbling to know that the work I have done has touched the participants of the #IAmRemarkable workshops in such a memorable way. It means that my mission was accomplished to help them to seek and find their remarkableness and has helped me to fulfil my mission to do what I can to help make the world a better place for everyone.

Tell us a bit more about how you’re making an impact through #IAmRemarkable workshops.

It is very important to me that participants have an opportunity to speak their truth and so I am proactive about getting them as engaged as possible in the session. Here is one participant's response to this experience: "Dr. Adams' facilitation - she brought an incredible level of energy and enthusiasm that made it a great discussion. She also called on me a number of times, which made me feel heard and appreciated" and "Watching Dr LaVerne work her facilitation magic was the best part!"

It is important to me that the I am remarkable workshop is upbeat and energetic as well as a safe environment for participants to be their most authentic selves in the session. Here is some feedback from a participant on this style of workshop delivery "I thought Dr. LaVerne was an incredible facilitator.  She knows how to be engaging and charismatic and lead the discussion.  On the side a group of my colleagues and I all attending the workshop was discussing how amazing the energy in the room was and how well she made everyone feel remarkable.  It's sad that this feeling and energy of amazing women is not present in our everyday interactions that this feeling felt unique which inspires us to do more."

Dr. LaVerne is a remarkable facilitator who has exceptional skill in guiding a group through discussions while fielding questions from the participants. As a participant in one of her I Am Remarkable workshops, I felt encouraged and inspired because Dr. LaVerne created an inclusive and dynamic environment where I felt comfortable making comments and asking questions. In addition to her supportive feedback, enthusiasm, and energy, I could see how the information shared was relevant to my goals, values, and personal ambitions. Dr. LaVerne demonstrated a deep knowledge and expertise in the I Am Remarkable content and the ability to guide participants toward a deeper understanding of the topic.  She not only conveyed information in my workshop, but she inspired action and encouraged workshop participants to apply what we've learned.'
