בתקופת התיכון התנדבתי בבית ספר לחינוך מיוחד בשם "אל-נור". בחרתי להתנדב שם בעקבות חוויה אישית עם קרוב משפחה, שלימדה אותי עד כמה חשוב להעניק תשומת לב ותמיכה מתאימה לתלמידים עם צרכים מיוחדים. בנוסף, זהו בית ספר קטן עם צוות מצומצם, כך שראיתי בכך הזדמנות לקחת חלק משמעותי ולהשפיע. הגעתי להתנדבות פעם בשבוע, עזרתי לתלמידים באופן אישי, העברתי תכנים לימודיים דרך משחקים בקבוצות יחד עם המורים, וסייעתי בארגון וסידור הכיתה אחרי שהתלמידים הלכו לישון. לפני שהתחלתי, חששתי שלא אצליח להתחבר לתלמידים או להיות מספיק מעורב. בנוסף, לכל תלמיד היו צרכים שונים, ולכן היה עליי ללמוד מהמורים כיצד לגשת לכל אחד – אם הוא על הספקטרום האוטיסטי, עם תסמונת דאון, או עם צרכים מיוחדים אחרים. בהתחלה צפיתי במורים, התייעצתי איתם ולמדתי איך הם ניגשים לכל תלמיד לפי צרכיו, וזה נתן לי ביטחון להתחיל לפתח קשרים בעצמי לשמחתי, עם הזמן גיליתי שרובם קיבלו אותי בשמחה, למדתי לקרוא סימנים לא מילוליים, להבין מה גורם להם להרגיש בנוח, ולהתאים את הגישה שלי כך שירגישו נתמכים ומובנים. נהניתי מהאינטראקציה איתם, וזכיתי בתחושת סיפוק עמוקה

I believe my biggest achievement is building a high performing team amongst a lot of chaos. I started as an engineering manager for replenishment team, soon due to restructuring I was asked to lead a different BU called Parcel and I was given the team from scratch, 8 months into this I heard the leadership is deciding to put Parcel on KTLO and give me a new tier 1 service called channels. This service was highly unstable with a lot of issues and tech debt. This service was transitioned among 4 engg manager in past three years (4th me). 

TASK

My job was to do a successful transition of this service and keep the team motivated

Actions

- When I got to. know about Parcel KTLO and having a new product under me, I wanted to ensure this is communicated to the team clearly with empathy and I wanted to ensure the team that this will only benefit their growth

- I started with a team meeting, shared a couple of wins that we did in parcel, shared even though we did so much, Parcel is being put on KTLO for various xyz reasons.

- I told them every crisis situation is an opportunity and by channels coming under us, we can showcase that even the toughest of the services can be maintained if the tech debt is continuously addressed

- Post team meeting I kept 1:1 with every member and listened them, helped answer their questions

- A couple of team members did share that they felt proud about what they developed in Parcel and were feeling sad that it was going in KTLO.

- I shared that products coming in KTLO happens sometime and this in no way reflects the teams performance, infact our teams reputation is very good amongst the leaders thats why they have given us the most important service (which is also in the worst shape)

- Under previous engg managers there was minimal to no improvement in the service on tech and product side because they were busy fixing on call issues

- I worked with the team to fix this by assigning ywo people to on call and rest two on fixing the issues from root cause. 

- In a couple of months this gave us brwating space since the oncall issues reduced directly impacting reduction in customer queries

- We got appreciated by leadership for this

Result

- Team members were highly motivated

- Learnt a lot

- Got appreciated by leadership for this hard works
