Mina Nasif argues that learning in treasury work is essential, not optional. She covers building relationships across multinational teams, gaining hands-on experience in different banking systems, and why certifications matter for treasury management careers.
50% of the fun of the journey was to build a relationship with a multinationality people, different mindset, different culture base and managing a team with a multi diversity cultures and 25% for the hand on experience. Because the banks is different from a country to another and there is what we call it a banking practice. If we are comparing London banks to Saudi Arabia banks to Egyptian banks, there is a lot of similarities and also a lot of different culture based or what we call it. The people from the origin country can speak the same language, a way of being out of the country. So if you are able to blog in quickly, you are able to speak the same language. And my segmentation the third part which is due knowledge. So I did equip myself with the CTP and I've been able to block or assign the right treasure products across several countries based on the know how inside the curriculum and speak what we call it a global cash management language. Learning is not luxury. It's not a luxury anymore. It is a kind of investment to simply moving from being consuming the budget of training for just a training and instead the real investment. And I think I have a proof of concept here. A lot of banks, a lot of company did cut the budget of learning and development toward the list priority topic and focusing on the financial part because they do believe it is a part of investing and their team. So I think the three reason or angle that I did mention is the real endeavors or what we call the motive toward pushing the people. And I think Mike, I have to mention that Beacon is training like 200 to 250 CTP candidates every year. The famous question is the is it important to be qualified or certified? And usually answer the people with this question with an example. It is like a bird, you need the two wings to fly. Simply being certified is not a replacement of being treasurer with a hand on experience. You need to have the right space to apply what did you learn theoretically or even you need the academic framework that qualify you to being inquired and to be in the nice reputation inside the markets with a globally certificate program. So I cannot vote for being qualified instead of being certified. I think the question is usually is not applicable or not in a what we call it comparison. Because it's like a bird flying with two wings. You need to be qualified and also you need to be certified and you cannot live with a one wing to fly.
