=='''About the Program'''==

=='''About the Program'''==

The Lifting as You Lead (LLMC) program is offered in a mentoring circles format where federal public service 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 Essentials, 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.
