What does your heritage mean to you?

I do not take these lessons for granted as I appreciate the opportunity that they have provided me to achieve my goals and dreams.

 

In what ways does your heritage influence your work?

My heritage plays a big daily role at work. I treat the people I work with as my family. It is important to be present and available for your team members and clients. My measurement of success is when those around me are getting excellent results and are happy. I approach each person and case with the values and principles I learned from my family of being respectful, responsible, caring, hardworking, and humble. I think this is why the TM Methods resonate with me because they incorporate a lot of the lessons which have been passed on to me through my heritage.
