Submitted by: Gilbert Garcia, ACV Supervisor Level III Being a participant in the TEAM Up program has helped me grow my career in more ways than one. It has given me so many opportunities to gain exposure in different departments within our Company. As a mentee, I was able to partner with top talent to help me in areas that I may have been struggling with in my position, and I was given best practices, training, and development to help me be more efficient in my day-to-day operations. As a mentor, I really try to inspire, coach, and pass on all the …
Submitted by: Victor Johnson, Director of Contact Center I have had the honor of being a mentor in the TEAM UP Program for three different mentees in the past nine months. TEAM Up is special to me because I have been mentored by a few very important people at critical stages of my life and career, so I can appreciate the value in such a program. My first mentee has grown quite a bit since we were connected back in November 2017. She was not very outspoken and was not sure how to get motivated about advancing her career. Now, she is …
Submitted by: Victor Gheorghe, District Director of Operations As a mentor I appreciate the mentoring program because, not only do I have the opportunity to impact someone’s career, but also benefit from the experience as I get to improve my own skills as a leader and mentor. Also, I get the chance to surround myself with some great people and make positive connections that, as leaders, we thrive on to continue to drive our own success.

Submitted by: Cameron Gregg, General Manager I committed to the great TMX Finance Family of Companies team in 2010 and haven’t looked back since. Over my 8 years with the Company, I have been a part of many programs/webinars/podcasts targeted towards my growth and development both as a leader and employee. The training and development efforts we have at the Company, I believe, are unmatched to anyone else in this industry. The innovative ideas and training environments we have for team member growth is what also separates us from others. In my perspective, the most impactful project we have been implementing recently …
Submitted by: Angela Bilodeau, General Manager I have been in management for many years and have been exposed to many training sessions, but none have been as supportive and beneficial as the Mentor Program provided by the TMX Finance Family of Companies.

Having the ability to adapt rather quickly once change is implemented has served me well. Throughout my time with the Company I have taken every opportunity to be a student. I’ve been privileged enough to have worked in various offices all around Southern California, but the travel wasn’t the best part. The people were.

I’ll admit I was nervous, but I refused to turn down an opportunity to learn. So I accepted. …

These attorneys, referred to as our “outside counsel,” traveled from all over the country to come and speak at the Summit. The attorneys were grouped into panels (small groups), and discussed …
