I will never stop learning

One of my favourite things about working at Automattic is their commitment to growth. It goes beyond the usual allowance to purchase books and expense training. It also includes coaching, mentoring, workshops, and courses — put together by our very own learning team.

Yesterday, I completed a 12 week leadership course facilitated by Anne Forbush, CPCC, ACC. We learned about general approaches to leadership, psychological safety and inclusion, interpersonal communications, aligning your impact, and navigating systems: working up and across.

The materials were well through out and carefully put together. My biggest lesson came from watching Anne deliver the materials. It was a masterclass in facilitation. She set an amazing example of how to create a safe space for people to share, explore, and learn together. As someone that gets uncomfortable with silence, and fills it with my voice, it was incredible to see how well Anne made it about us and our experiences.

Thank you Anne!
