The Secret to Success: Self-Advocacy and Self-Care
with Ericka Spradley
Seeking human connection in a virtual environment
Lexi Horton, MC Lewers, Jack Mobley
Sometimes, it’s easy to feel disconnected — and even lonely — in a virtual workplace.
You can feel like you’re missing out on those ever-important team-building interactions. And you can also feel isolated or “not seen” when it seems like there’s no one else like you at work. That’s where teammate resource groups (TRGs) come into play to help foster relationships, offer purpose and guidance, and nurture professional development.
Gainsight’s Lexi Horton, Deal Desk Manager, Revenue Operations (TRG: BIPOC), MC Lewers, Director of Strategic Programs (TRG: Parents), and Jack Mobley, Enterprise Customer Success Manager (TRG: Spectrum), understand the importance of showing up authentically at work — especially in a remote environment. They’re passionate about being part of TRGs at Gainsight and will share how they’ve leveraged them to build meaningful connections that support and nourish their growth.
You’ll hear:
- How finding the right support system can help you thrive while enhancing your employee experience
- Why participating in TRGs can increase your sense of belonging and build confidence
- Ways TRGs encourage you to bring your authentic self to work and advocate for yourself and others
- Tips for building an employee resource group from the ground up
