Homepage | FRWhat is Lifting As You Lead Mentoring Circles Program (LLMC)?
As a leader in our community, the Diversity and Inclusion team is calling on you to join the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles (LLMC) program. The LLMC program is an initiative grounded in the 2020/2021 Deputy Minister Commitments on Diversity and Inclusion and strives to build on the Clerk’s Call to Action to better support leadership development towards addressing anti-racism, equity, and inclusion in the federal public service. Through this lens, the LLMC program provides you with an innovative space and opportunity to actively partake in making your workplace inclusive.
This ten-week program, consisting of five Circle sessions and five optional enrichment sessions, provides a platform for employees to network with colleagues and leadership across the federal public service while developing interpersonal skills, learning about key leadership and cultural competencies, and finding career building opportunities.

Why Participate?
The Diversity and Inclusion Office (DIO) Team believes that through participation in this program, Circle members will continue to be inspired by the connections made, grow their networks, elevate their knowledge and use this to inspire others.
About the Program
The Lifting as You Lead (LLMC) program is offered in a mentoring circles format where federal public servant employees at all classification groups and levels across all departments within the Government of Canada collaborate to discuss personal and professional topics (Confidence and Career Building, Leadership, Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion, Negotiation, and Work Life Balance).
During the program, mentoring circle members discuss virtually a new discussion theme every other week led by rotating Circle leaders and consist of between 6 and 10 participants. Not only will your presence elevate and enrich the experience of the Circles, but it also will provide you with the opportunity to expand and diversify your federal public service network thereby increasing professional opportunities. The optional information sessions are an opportunity to learn some practical steps you can take as you move forward in your career and will be related to the content of the previous week’s Circle.
Program Completion
A certificate of completion will be provided to all participants who actively participate in the program.
