Thushara T. Wijetilaka works as an administrative specialist for the Protective Intelligence and Assessment Division of the U.S. Secret Service\u2014and she is a member of the deaf community.

Partnership: What motivated you to apply for Preparing to\nLead?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being deaf, it\nwas not easy to think of myself as a leader in my division. My colleagues might\nthink that a deaf employee does not know how to lead a team or they may feel\nawkward working with a deaf leader. And deaf or hard of hearing employees can\nface unique challenges in their workplace from issues as simple as not being\nable to fully participate in team meetings or events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But deaf and\nhard of hearing people are capable of doing jobs just like their peers\u2014they just\nneed to be afforded opportunity and accommodation. I applied for the Preparing\nto Lead Program to showcase my abilities to lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership: How has the program helped you become a better\nleader?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my role, I lead\nteam projects and supervise the administrative branch. Through Preparing to\nLead, I learned more about collaboration and effective communication, which\nhelped me develop leadership skills such as mentoring, motivating peers,\nteaching and even planning events.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership: What were the benefits of this being a mostly\nvirtual program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual\nprogram has many benefits, one of which is flexibility. It was helpful to have\naccess to coursework from my workplace rather than going to the classroom in\nperson. The program allowed me to use time effectively, balance my duties and\ncoursework and expand my worldview through discussions with classmates on IM\nchat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to\ntwo sign-language interpreters, the key for me was the closed-captioning, which\nhelped me follow the lectures and discussions with classmates. Deaf people\ndepend on visual communication, and the virtual program was perfect for my\nneeds and learning style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnership: What leadership skills or knowledge have you\ndeveloped?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adaptability and flexibility are the leadership skills I most developed. Because of my deafness, I need to be more patient with my colleagues when communicating. For example, I educate colleagues about deaf awareness, inclusiveness and effective communication in the work environment. The people in my division have gotten to know me and admire my timely responses to their inquiries and willingness to assist them with administrative tasks.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the communication barriers, I communicate well by sharing\nthoughts and experiences with the intention of adding value to the team and to\nthe project. I have developed working relationships with others to best meet\nthe needs of the Protective Intelligence and Assessment Division, providing\nseamless administrative support to our division and across the entire\norganization to help achieve our mission.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: The Partnership follows AP style guidelines, which use the lowercase deaf in all uses.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
