How Red Rooster Golf makes golf tournaments memorable
Maybe you know the feeling. You’re on a golfing trip with your buddies, kitted out in new golf gear, only to find yourself digging in the bottom of your bag
Biggest obstacle overcome: Starting my role at You.i during the pandemic and working 100 per cent remotely with three young kids at home. Then, navigating through an acquisition after only being with the company for a few months.
Biggest influences: My dad, who passed away in 2009. He worked extremely hard, always looked for ways to give back to the community and instilled in me a sense of confidence and determination.
Biggest lesson learned during COVID-19: Be patient and compassionate with those around you, and also with yourself. Asking someone how they’re doing, and being flexible, really goes a long way.
Charitable involvement: iSisters Technology Mentoring
First job: Working the concession stand at Ottawa 67’s games
Advice I’d give the younger me: Aspire to be like the leaders who show empathy, and aren’t afraid to admit they don’t know all the answers.
Favourite pastime: Reading a good book.
