Have you ever received advice or picked the brain of a successful businessmen from outside your own country? Well, I have. It was not in a situation where one would pay to attend a key note speaker surrounded by hundreds of other attendees. It was in his own home. Sitting on his couch, next to him. Sharing Arabic coffee, dates, and homemade sweets.

This can happen to anyone in any setting - professional or personal - and I am for sure right smack in the middle of it professionally.  At the beginning of August, I was told I would be gaining much more responsibility at work. Not only would I be working directly with TIMC's president to run the marketing department, but I would have much, much more work that I had previously had throughout my time at TIMC. I am not ashamed to say I was a little nervous, but mostly excited. Going from a one page job description to a four page job description is definitely intimidating. Here I will discuss how to handle new responsibilities and all the opportunities for learning that come with them.  [Read More](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/handling-new-responsibilities) Topics: [Life at TIMC](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/topic/life-at-timc), [Workplace Culture](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/topic/workplace-culture) ## [A Week In Antigua: Workshop 2018](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/a-week-in-antigua-workshop-2018) Posted by [Alicia Renaud, Digital Marketing Specialist](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/author/alicia-renaud-digital-marketing-specialist) on Aug 3, 2018 3:26:57 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://www.timc.ca/hubfs/Life%20at%20TIMC/IMG_2952.jpg)](https://www.timc.ca/careers/blog/a-week-in-antigua-workshop-2018) The team at the beach after our tour of the Island In the first week of June 2018, the entire company hopped on a plane and met up in Antigua and Barbuda, for our annual company workshop. This year’s location was selected by our Workshop Committee and President. They chose Antigua and Barbuda so that we could get to know the partners we work with there, visit the properties we sell, and get to know this beautiful country. It’s always easier to promote something you have seen yourself in person, so what other choice did they have? Antigua and Barbuda was the perfect place for us to work, relax, and get some good quality team bonding (and tanning) in. Here I will give you a recount of our trip, people we met, things we ate, places we visited and beaches we swam at.

We are happy to say that (as we know lots of research has shown and are not claiming this discovery is our own) we have found the cure for the afternoon slump. Can you guess what it is?
