Interview with Nathalie Ngongo, current participant of the McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al Executive MBA program.<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Que faites-vous dans la vie?<\/h2>\n

Je suis gestionnaire principale d’une \u00e9quipe de d\u00e9veloppeurs d’applications de cyber s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au sein du SOC de Bell Canada.<\/p>\n

\n

I lead and support my team with passion, empowerment and continuous improvement mindset.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What is your personal mission?<\/h2>\n

To show compassion towards those in need and leave a legacy for the next generation.<\/p>\n

Pourquoi est-ce important \u00e0 vos yeux?<\/h2>\n

L’\u00e9coute des messages inspirants tous les dimanches a trouv\u00e9 \u00e9cho en moi. Cela a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 le d\u00e9sir d’aider les autres.
\nDeux paroles du sage Salomon m\u2019influencent :
\n\u00ab Tout ce que tu trouves \u00e0 faire, fais-le avec l\u2019\u00e9nergie que tu as \u00bb
\n\u00ab Chaque fois que tu en as la possibilit\u00e9, n\u2019h\u00e9site pas \u00e0 faire du bien \u00e0 ceux qui en ont besoin \u00bb
\nJe suis une personne dans l\u2019action donc je m\u2019implique pour apporter de l\u2019aide \u00e0 mon prochain directement ou \u00e0 travers des organismes. Lorsque j’ai le choix, je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re apprendre \u00e0 p\u00eacher que de donner du poisson afin de rendre autonome la personne qui re\u00e7oit. J’aime beaucoup transmettre les connaissances que j’ai eu la chance d’acqu\u00e9rir que ce soit en formation acad\u00e9mique, en formation continue ou de fa\u00e7on pratique durant mes 20 ann\u00e9es de carri\u00e8re.
\nJe me r\u00e9jouis chaque fois que je peux apporter une solution ou redonner au suivant. Car \u00ab faire une petite diff\u00e9rence vaut mieux que l\u2019indiff\u00e9rence \u00bb.<\/p>\n

What does Black History Month mean to you?<\/h2>\n
\n

An opportunity to focus on the successes and positive impacts of the Black community and also to collectively reflect on the ongoing challenges due to biases or history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How can one contribute to addressing the challenges faced by the Black community?<\/h2>\n

By educating oneself, acknowledging that there are still subtle discriminations, and being open to discovering differences.
\nOnce we’ve learned, it’s important to change one thing at a time; teach it to our children and positively influence those around us to recognize their own unconscious biases and the harmful behaviors that result from them.<\/p>\n
