During my three-month micro mission as a Diversity and Inclusion Analyst I had the opportunity to become a contributor to numerous initiatives including the Ask Me Anything events co-created with an amazing Canadian Coast Guard team and the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program. The latter was the primary project on which my time and talents were utilized.

Au cours de ma micro mission de trois mois en tant qu’analyste pour l’équipe de la diversité et de l’inclusion, j’ai eu l’occasion de contribuer à de nombreuses initiatives, y compris les événements « Demandez-moi n’importe quoi» co-créé et co-produite avec une équipe exceptionnelle de la Garde côtière canadienne. J’ai aussi participé au Programme des Cercles de mentorat. Ce dernier était le projet principal sur lequel mon temps et mes talents ont été utilisés. À mesure que l’équipe créait du nouveau contenu, mettait à jour le formatage, faisait la promotion et lançait la deuxième cohorte de ce programme, je travaillais en étroite collaboration avec la gestionnaire de ce projet. Cette période à été transformative car elle m’a aidé dans mon cheminement en tant que meilleur allié dans mon rôle de chef d’équipe. J’ai acquis la confiance nécessaire pour parler des situations difficiles au travail et autour de moi. En même temps d’ aider les autres à comprendre leurs propres biais inconscients et à y réfléchir. Je suis motivée à mieux comprendre comment je peux contribuer à un milieu de travail qui encourage la pleine participation de tous les employés.

Team Leader, Benefits Delivery Services Branch – Atlantic Region, Service Canada

During my three-month micro mission as a Diversity and Inclusion Analyst I had the opportunity to become a contributor to numerous initiatives including the Ask Me Anything events co-created with an amazing Canadian Coast Guard team and the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program. The latter was the primary project on which my time and talents were utilized. As the team created new content, updated formatting, promoted and then launched the second cohort of this program, I worked closely with the project manager. During this time, I became driven to be a better ally in my role as a team leader, I gained confidence to speak up in difficult situations and help others understand and reflect on their own unconscious bias. I was motivated to develop a better understanding of how I can contribute to a workplace that encourages the full participation of all employees.
