    "When I reflect on my time in the hospital, I felt compassion, support, and love from my Cisco peers and leadership. The support we received was tremendous and made me realize that the culture of Cisco is all about people first." — Sonal S., Systems Architect. Sonal's maternity leave started sooner than anticipated but that didn't change the support she received from her team at Cisco. Read more on how this experience inspired Sonal to lead with compassion.
