Ryan’s Story – Branch Manager

Ryan Yuen, Branch Manager
Brandon, MB
Started at Motion Canada: July 2018

What do you like about working at Motion Canada? 
The people. Both the Motion Canada team and our customers are amazing to work with.

At Motion Canada, we believe that to be a partner with employees means giving employees what they need to be successful and providing outstanding culture and benefits (among other things!). What does be a partner mean to you? 
I think that being a team player, sharing common goals and having a similar and winning vision are all important aspects of partnering with my colleagues.

Is there a TV or movie character who you identify with/is basically you?
Mr. Miyagi. He’s very level-headed and takes control of difficult situations. He’s naturally a calm person and a leader!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go any why? 
China. I would love to experience the culture, and see the villages where several of my family members grew up.

You are given one million dollars – what are the first three things you do with it?
I would put 90% of it away, give some to family, then do some renos to my cabin with what remained.

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? 
A bit of both. I would say I’m more of an introvert in general. But if you get me going on a topic like sports or politics, that will change!
