=='''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>I wanted to add understanding and empathy into my leadership journey.</big>

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

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

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

<big>I am much more inclusive and people oriented since participating in LLMC. I encourage and advocate for others, in rooms that they might not have access to.</big>

<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>

=='''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 hope to have an impact on how work treats employees and colleagues. I want to be an inclusive leader. I hope to solidify a spot in the managent table of the CRA or public service at large.</big>

<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>

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

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

<big>My challenge is that I have remained in technical position for more than 10 years. I felt that the time has come for me to lead.</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>

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

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

<big>The impact is already evident. I want to show excellence and inspire others to forge their own path in change making and leading others into the future.</big>

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

 

== '''What has most inspired you in this journey of your professional development?''' ==

<big>The amazing people I have met.</big>

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

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

<big>Sponsorship is a new tool that I have not explored deeply. I have sponsors but I still need to master the "ask".</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>

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

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

<big>Engagement and courage. I have to work on my listening skills which I believe will help everybody if this skill was available to them.</big>

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

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

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

<big>I have applied everything I have learned from this program. I have shared documents and perspectives with senior management at my organization.</big>

<big>Yes, with a lot of hope and a lot of baggage to help us move forward in the public service.</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>Negotiate based on interests and not position. A hard mantra to follow but well worth it in the long run.</big>

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