expresso: mentorship

WORKING WITH GREAT LEADERS AT EXP WHO TRUSTED EACH OTHER’S WORK, I SAW SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX ISSUES. THIS TAUGHT ME TO TRANSFORM THE TRADITIONAL THINKING PROCESS AND COACH MY EMPLOYEES TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM. AS A COACH, I AM HERE TO TAKE THEIR SKILLS AND ELEVATE THEM TO THE NEXT LEVEL.”

delivering clients innovative solutions for 15 years. Matt was coaching Juan to have the same impactful career and together they worked on projects, including themed entertainment events in galaxies near and far, and zoos offering safe havens to wild animals. Alongside their team, they carefully listened to their clients’ requests, executed meticulous solutions for electrical systems and applied comprehensive quality control. Exceeding clients’ needs does not come naturally, it must be taught, learned and experienced. Matt taught, step-by-step and Juan learned, day-by-day. Matt knew firsthand the importance of mentorship. He noted, “As a young engineer, I remember the misconception that no one else could do a project better than

you could. Working with great leaders at EXP who trusted each other’s work, I saw solutions to complex issues. This taught me to transform the traditional thinking process and coach my employees to work together as a team. As a coach, I am here to take their skills and elevate them to the next level.” Juan now looks back and laughs at thinking about how he could have had a nightmarish boss. Instead, he gained a mentor, coach and friend.
