Diverse thinking: Peer networking has supported an overseas move and growth of a global organisation
TEC is a safe place where members can let their guard down
I’ve benefited enormously from hearing about the dos, don’ts and norms in the New Zealand business world. And on the flip side, I hope the diversity of my UK background has also benefited my group.
Through the breadth of topics my group faces, I’ve built awareness of wider business issues and a framework for improving my own capabilities. Coming from a range of different industries and backgrounds, we learn from each other and offer insights into how things can be done from different perspectives.
TEC fosters the success of its members and develops leadership skills
'When there are issues which are difficult to discuss with people within your own organisation, TEC offers the safe outlet of connecting with fellow leaders completely outside of your business’s world.'
