Compassion For Others
Cindy and I went through a certification process for facilitating tension in the workplace together. It was because of Cindy’s passion for continuous learning that I got involved and decided to embark on this journey with her. Throughout the journey, it was clear that the program was right down Cindy’s alley, showcasing her compassion for others and always wanting to help and create a long lasting impact on those she worked with. Even though we went in to this program as peers, her guidance and expertise in facilitation helped me develop the skills needed to not only facilitate the program, but also helped me build skills to become a better co-worker and leader within our organization.
