China this August.
We work with businesses and governments within our respective
regions to establish mandates. Mandates are objectives that your
organization has, that we will work to achieve for you in China.

1991 by former Member of Parliament, Terry Clifford C.M. Since
then Global Vision has had over 10,000 young leaders participate

9. VISIT CURRENT
VENDORS AND
RELATIONSHIPS.
In China, the most important
element of business is “guanxi”,
meaning relationships. Chinese
businesses value gestures and gifts
more than Western counterparts.
This is why they are so impressed
when you invest in visiting and
speaking to them. Past
Ambassadors have helped in re-
negotiating contracts and finding
new product opportunities for
partners.

RESEARCH.
Past Junior Team Canada
Ambassadors have investigated and
prepared detailed reports for
partners on possible expansion,
sourcing, and marketing strategies.

Throughout my life, I have always taken opportunities where I am the
youngest one in the room. Being a 17 year-old, I do not expect your
trust. Rather, I expect to earn it.
I promise that I will do everything in my power to fulfill and exceed
your expectations. No excuses.
