Jade’s Teng role as Director of Corporate Relations for Rotman Commerce Entrepreneurship Organization (RCEO) gave her the opportunity to build meaningful connections within the industry and the RC community alike. “This leadership role motivated me to go beyond my comfort zone and develop new skills, especially in leadership and communication,” she said. “I love working and growing with such a tight-knit and supportive team who shares a similar passion and vision as me.”

“Being the co-president of RCSB taught me how to leverage different team thinking, adapt my leadership style and engage diverse stakeholders to foster collaboration and achieve a common vision.”
Elfine Caumont, co-President of RCSB
Bronwyn Williams, co-President of RCSB: “I’ve learned that when charting into unknown territory, bringing positive energy can transcend through a team to keep us motivated and create a strong team morale. This was especially true given that it was our club’s first year running. Naturally, there were going to be hiccups, but by maintaining a positive can-do attitude in our workspace, we created a wonderful community at UofT this year. This outlook will definitely help me in my future career, as I will be learning many new and seemingly daunting tasks. With this outlook, I will continue to confidently acquire and adapt to new ideas.”
