ADCOLOR Leaders Mantras 2022

by Reggie Black

A poster by Reggie Black featuring handwritten Rare with Google mantras in blue, white and grey on a black background.

At the end of the Rare with Google Leadership Academy, delegates are asked to write their personal mantras that they have taken from the program. We select the top 10 and ask a designer to create a poster which is sent to Rare delegates as a graduation gift. We have over 250 delegates from around the world do the course every year. The poster is a special take home gift to remind them of their journey through Leadership Academy.

This is the poster design by Washington-based artist Reggie Black for Rare with Google at ADCOLOR Leaders 2022.
