I think as leaders, people tend to think that it's easy for us, that, you know, we've got it all figured out. But I'm here to tell you we don't. For me personally, self care used to be something that I viewed as a nice to have or a treat, but now I view it as one of my core management skills. I have to take care of myself. Parents need a break right now. Salesforce we gave parents an extra six weeks of paid leave. We also run a mental health call, which is called Be well Together, where we posted parenting experts. We even had my favorite thing which was our small hands call after our regular all hands call for the youngest members of our team where we had activities, book reading. It was just so much fun and I think it's just a way for our parents to get a break. I think it just gives that extra dose of humanity and I just love that we're all a little bit more mindful and thoughtful about that now. My name is Ebony Beckwith and I'm ready to make change.
