I receive lots of support. I had some mental health challenges over the past year or so and she accommodated the time off I required. She is patient when I had my promotion and needed some time to settle into my new role & more recently had Covid-19 and had to change sessions with short notice.

5/5
I already feel it would be a great help - I am already learning different management styles, how brand standards help build a reputable company, etc
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I help raise money for our charity partners for our region.
