The Playground Project

A deep conversation with a big-picture thinker, the awesome Jayshal Sood shares his pivots and perspectives with us on the playground today.

Thank you so much Jayshal for joining us on the playground today! I really appreciated the conversation, and learning more about your career – and life – journey.

Your dedication to learning, and working hard to make up for the time in your life where you were felt lacking in focus, is inspiring.

You spoke about your pivots. Your journey from India, to Canada, with stops along in the way in the US and back to India is exactly what life is all about. It’s not the linear progression many people think it is or should be. It’s interesting, challenging, difficult, joyful and mysterious.

The skills you gained from your communications training and throughout your career are an integral part of your role with Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Where you were once a mentee in the FIN mentorship, you are now giving back yourself by mentoring other newcomers.

I love that you find Canada to be a warm place – not the climate, but the people. That makes me happy.

You shared a Sanskrit quote – the world is one family. You shared the power of believing that everyone is on the same platform – regardless of race, colour, international boundaries or religion. You are proud of your family, and the person you have become – thanks to the people you have met along your journey, your education and throughout your career. You reminded us that when we open up our thoughts, we widen our mindset.

You adopt a holistic approach to life, understanding that we thrive, not just survive, when we have balance in our lives.

I am inspired by your dedication to communication, learning, and family. And I am so grateful that our paths crossed through the FIN program, and that we have stayed in touch through the years.  

Jayshal, you are awesome!
