BuildingBlocks Community Presents: Redefining Professionalism Through the Eyes of a Service Dog Team with Nadina Anidawehi, CBA, CCCS
Redefining Professionalism Through the Eyes of a Service Dog Team
Lessons in Leadership, Inclusion, and Success
How inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and a broader view of professionalism can help individuals and organizations thrive.
Join the Handle BuildingBlocks Community on Thursday, September 3rd, 2026 at 1:00 PM Central for a unique and thought-provoking webinar that challenges traditional assumptions about professionalism, workplace success, and leadership.
Today's workplaces are increasingly diverse, yet many organizations still rely on outdated expectations of what a successful professional "should" look like. As leaders strive to attract, support, and retain talented employees, creating environments where people can perform at their best has never been more important.
In this session, Nadina Anidawehi, CBA, CCCS, Enterprise Account Manager at Handle, will share her experiences as a professional working alongside a service dog and the valuable leadership lessons that emerge from that partnership.
Through real-world examples, practical insights, and personal experiences, attendees will gain a better understanding of how inclusion, psychological safety, and thoughtful leadership can create stronger teams and more successful organizations.
This webinar goes beyond service dogs. It's about recognizing talent, challenging assumptions, building trust, and creating workplaces where individuals can contribute fully while maintaining accountability and high performance standards.
What You'll Learn
In this session, we'll cover:
• How redefining professionalism can help organizations recognize and retain talented employees who may not fit traditional expectations.
• Practical leadership strategies that build inclusion, psychological safety, and confidence while maintaining accountability and high performance standards.
• Service Dog Teams 101, including common misconceptions, workplace best practices, and real-world lessons leaders can apply to create more successful and inclusive professional environments.
Why Attend
Strong leadership is about more than managing performance. It's about creating environments where people can do their best work, contribute their strengths, and feel supported while remaining accountable to shared goals.
Whether you're a manager, team leader, HR professional, credit professional, or individual contributor, this session will provide practical insights you can apply immediately to strengthen workplace culture, improve communication, and lead more effectively.
