“This experience showed me how entrepreneurs think and helped me gain confidence to share my own ideas.”
Can you introduce yourself? Tell us your name, where you’re from, and a bit about your background.
I’m Mateo from Croatia, and I study digital marketing at Algebra Bernays University in Zagreb.
Why did you decide to join ABC Toronto?
My motivation goes beyond just lectures. I value experience the most, and I wanted to see the other side of business.
Most people only see business from the perspective of being a worker, but here I wanted to understand how entrepreneurs actually think. That was my main reason for joining the program.
What skills did you develop?
I developed a lot of teamwork and communication skills.
Working in a team with people who think differently means you have to find a balance and meet in the middle. That was a big learning experience for me.
I also improved my presentation skills and became more confident speaking in front of others and expressing my ideas.
What stood out to you the most?
The people were definitely the most valuable part. Being surrounded by different cultures and ways of thinking and bringing that all together in one place was something really special.
What was your experience like in Toronto?
Toronto felt like the whole world in one place. You can experience so many different cultures, foods, and perspectives in a single city, which made the whole experience even more valuable.
Would you recommend ABC Toronto?
I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to expand their perspective on business, start something of their own, or turn their ideas into reality.
