B) A parent, grandparent, relative, or friend: My Uncle. He was a large part in helping me find a path through darkness as I was getting clean and figuring out what to do with my life next. He is someone in the family that I connect with deeply because we came from similar walks of life. He had a lot of troubles he had to deal with growing up and he still managed to make an amazing career for himself in culinary arts. He showed me that it is possible for someone to turn their life around and make positive changes for their future. I realize how important he was as I get older and start to build my career more. You don't have to let bad choices in your past dictate your future and I learned that lesson from him.
A teacher, coach, scout leader: I had a rough time mentally growing up and I ended up spending a lot of my childhood years going to therapist and councilors. The only one who really made a difference was a man named Warren. I was a very angsty teenager and I rebelled pretty hard against any sort of authority. I didn't want to be there to begin with when I first met this man but he saw something in me that day. He ended up taking me on for free and I saw him weekly for a year. In that year, he taught me how to control my thoughts and focus my intelligence towards constructive things. I was a kid that was too smart for his own good and my awareness of the world around me really troubled me to the point that I was lashing out. He taught me how to release my mental stress in a positive way and would create the path for many years of creativity and art. I never got to see him again that year but I would love to let him know how well I am doing. He will always be a large part in creating the foundation of the person that I am today. I will forever be grateful.
An employer, manager, supervisor, co-worker: My Director. I chose him for this one because he really took a chance on me when I first approached Fedcap. I was fresh out of college and I had no experience on paper to offer when I first applied. He created a paid internship for me so he could give me a chance. That opportunity got my career started and helped me to find a home in Fedcap. Not a lot of people get that type of chance right out of college and I will forever be appreciative of that.

C) When you celebrate, are you clear about the values you are cheering?
A: I can't hide it when I am celebrating something. I will always make sure that I am clear about the values that I am celebrating and why I am celebrating those values.
Do people in your program/organization feel that celebrations are a waste of time or that they are too busy to stop working? If there appears to be a negative reaction, how can you mitigate these feelings?
A: My team enjoys celebrating our victories and successes. We like to go out as a team after work after hard projects and relax together as a group. Celebration can be a great team building moment.
How do you think your work environment would change if you embedded encouraging the heart in your work life?
A: I think it would to create a environment that would be inviting. It would help us retain more techs moving forward and start the foundation for an environment that breeds success and innovation.
