I’m thrilled to share that I’ve completed Stage 2 of the Pavelka Wellbeing Ambassador Program – The Upskilling Program!

This stage has been an incredible journey of learning how to embed wellbeing into my team’s culture in a strategic and impactful way. By leveraging a coaching mindset, data-driven insights, and wellbeing benefits, I’m now equipped to drive meaningful change and make a difference where it truly matters.

This achievement builds on my recent completion of the Wellbeing Ambassador onboarding certificate, and I’m more motivated than ever to continue growing in this space.

I also told him about going through Pavelka’s Wellbeing Ambassador training during work time, where I was taught active listening techniques and made aware of even more of the generous benefits Cisco offers its employees, like college enrollment coaching for my kids.

I told him these are just a few of the reasons Cisco is repeatedly listed in the Top 3 Best Places to Work by Fortune.

In my roles as CBP Mental/Emotional Wellbeing Co-Lead and Global Event Lead for Mindfulness and Resilience within Cisco’s Inclusive Communities, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with remarkable leaders who are equally dedicated to creating spaces where authenticity and wellness can thrive.

These experiences have fueled my drive to spark fresh, innovative wellbeing initiatives that not only enhance productivity but also nurture deeper connections across teams.

As a Wellbeing Ambassador, I’m here to continue this work—advocating for initiatives that prioritize mental health, emotional well-being, and resilience. I believe that when we care for the whole person, we foster environments where innovation, creativity, and trust can flourish.
