CTM employees graduate from TIME mentor program

MEET THE GRADUATES.

CTM’s Paul Mirabito (Corporate Consultant) and Karen McGilvray (Regional Client Value Manager, Queensland) have just graduated from a six month program with the Travel Industry Mentor Experience (TIME) which offers a mentor/mentee program focusing on business skills, development guidance and support sessions.

Paul was offered the opportunity to participate in the program after being awarded the Avis Scholarship, while Karen attended as winner of the Association of Travel Management Companies Young Executive Award in 2015. Both Karen and Paul have commented on how rewarding the experience was and how valuable their time has been with their mentors.

“I was awarded the opportunity to participate in the TIME program as part of winning the ATMC Young Executive Award for 2015. I was introduced to Chad Howard from Virgin Australia Holidays, as my mentor. Given I had just been promoted into a new role at CTM as the Regional Client Value Manager Qld, with eight employees to manage, my time with Chad has been invaluable. We have worked on many different things, however specifically on management styles and getting the best from my team. Having someone external to discuss ideas and run things past has been amazing. The TIME program has been a great opportunity to meet new people and experience a different approach. A special thanks to Chad for his time and effort with being my mentor.”

– Karen McGilvray, Regional Client Value Manager, Queensland
