I’ve had the great experience the last couple days spending time bonding from the business side down to a personal level. With our HTG group here in Canada, we are really starting to gel and challenge each other to be better and challenge ourselves as a result. So much learning happened through out our agenda based meetings, but now that we are building the personal relationships, the conversations outside of the agenda are becoming so valuable. 

As I head back home after a long couple of days, it’s truly hard not to be excited to get back into the office and get started on the many ideas generated. I am looking forward to working with Randy from VACS out in St. Catherines and Cameron from Sygnet in the GTA to help our peer Jas at Jio Infotech in Surrey to keep focused.

Each quarter when we meet, I get so stressed and push really hard to meet my goals and hate to get up in front of the group if we haven’t been as sucessful as we had hoped. My biggest takeaway from this week’s meetings was that we all truly care about the others and the businesses. If I am having issues with meeting my goals, I am best to let others know early in the quarter as others are willing to help.

What a true testament to the power of peer development.
