“We were thrilled to welcome Sam Willing to participate in a fireside chat on how we can grow as a team and as individuals to become more compassionate. Sam guided us through some examples of what it looks like to express compassion and care as managers and teammates. As a company that believes in fostering a growth mindset and a manager community that leads through model, coach, and care – Sam was able to describe how we can best support each other during this pandemic and as we emerge from this pandemic into our hybrid workplace. Our success will come from bringing our humanity with us to work.”
