=='''What motivated you to join the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program?'''==

=='''What motivated you to join the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program?'''==

<big>The program's motto: Connect, Elevate, Inspire caught my eye. So I was curious to learn how it works.</big>

<big>To network, learn about sponsorship, inclusivity, diversity & equity in the federal context</big>

=='''How do you envision your participation contributing to your professional growth?'''==

=='''How do you envision your participation contributing to your professional growth?'''==

<big>What I learned from the readings, masterclasses and experience-sharing among the members equipped me in my communication with colleagues and my manager, and I particularly liked the tools and techniques to be applied to change management and the art of negotiation.</big>

<big>Professionally, I've grown immensely & now have a sponsor. I've also learnt how to practically apply key leadership requirements in my job applications & interviews, which was missing before I attended LLMC.</big>

=='''What specific goals or aspirations do you hope to achieve through this experience?'''==

=='''What specific goals or aspirations do you hope to achieve through this experience?'''==

<big>I want to help spread the word about the program around me, so that many employees can acquire the concepts that will help them achieve real inclusion, which involves acquiring tools and changing behaviours.</big>

<big>To apply all I've learnt in my branch, help to lift others up to where they want to be as well as keep moving forward in my life & career</big>

 

== '''Can you share a specific challenge or opportunity that led you to seek mentorship with the public service?''' ==

 

== '''Describe the impact you aim to make within your role through this program.''' ==

<big>To practice inclusivity, diversity & equity, show more empathy towards other, not be too quick to put a label on everyone I meet. We are all human & going through one thing or another even if its not visible to the human eyes. Be kind & show empathy.</big>

 

<big>Getting to know my cohort members, the 'sponsorship' masterclass & the free exchanges of information during LLMC Friday office hours.</big>

== '''How do you believe mentorship and sponsorship can enhance your leadership skills in the public service?''' ==

=='''<big>How do you believe mentorship and sponsorship can enhance your leadership skills in the public service?</big>'''==

<big>Mentoring will enable me to explore avenues I didn't know existed, and it will also help me to strive to achieve my goals.</big>

<big>Through the KLC Application Courses 1 & 2 which I received, I believe were life changing & greatly enhanced my leadership skills/capabilities.</big>

== '''What unique strengths or perspectives do you bring to your circles that can benefit others?''' ==

=='''<big>What unique strengths or perspectives do you bring to your circles that can benefit others?</big>'''==

<big>I recommend surrounding yourself with people who listen to you, hear you and support you in your difference.</big>

<big>My legal skills</big>

== '''How would you define success for yourself at the end of this Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program?''' ==

=='''<big>Is there a particular aspect of leadership or career development that you are eager to explore further in this program?</big>'''==

<big>My success is the connection to a large number of employees (various levels) in a very short time, access to a library and my commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion.</big>

<big>Policy development & providing legal advice</big>

=='''<big>Has your view of leadership - and who can be a leader - changed?</big>'''==

=='''<big>How would you define success for yourself at the end of this Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program?</big>'''==

<big>Yes, anyone can acquire leadership skills and apply them wherever they are.</big>

<big>That I move at least a step towards achieving the above goals</big>

=='''<big>Do you view your public service career differently after participating in the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program?</big>'''==

== '''How can you apply what you learned from the Lifting as you Lead Mentoring Circles program to the workplace?''' ==

<big>Yes, with a lot of hope and a lot of baggage to help us move forward in the public service.</big>

<big>By volunteering my time & effort to support the organization & others</big>

== '''What is the one message you would like to leave us with today?''' ==

== '''What is the one message you would like to leave us with today?''' ==

<big>I'm delighted to have learnt and, above all, to now be on the continuing education network.</big>

<big>LLMC was informative, timely, practical, innovative & helpful, please keep it up & thank you for having me.</big>
