expresso: mentorship

One such opportunity came early in Josh’s career, when Gary asked him to take charge of regular construction meetings for a client. Josh remembers the intimidation factor was high, running a meeting with senior engineers and other capable people when he was so green. But with Gary by his side to provide support, Josh handled it all in stride. “Josh has harnessed the best parts of his personality – he’s always been quite a character – tempered with outstanding professionalism and levelheadedness that will serve him well in the future.” “To be honest, I think that’s what I’ve learned most from Gary: the ability to read a situation and respond accordingly. Sometimes the best thing you can do is listen.” As Gary contemplates his options for winding down his career, his confidence in Josh and the rest of the Sydney team has reached an all- time high.

I THINK THAT’S WHAT I’VE LEARNED MOST FROM GARY: THE ABILITY TO READ A SITUATION AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. SOMETIMES THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS LISTEN.”
