Speaking: Trade Secrets from the Trenches
Want To Spice Up Your Next Meeting, Training Or Retreat?

Our Trade Secrets from the Trenches presentations offer powerful learning experiences for managers, team leaders, professional staff, community boards and even your association members.
Marcia Zidle will turn the light bulbs on and keep them on by:
1. Customizing your PROGRAM!
First you choose, from a list of leadership principles, the ones that will strengthen the leadership muscles of your people and your organization. Here is a sample of action topics:
- Working Smart: Hunts Elephants, Not Stomp Ants
- Customer Service: Always Serve Extra Hot Fudge Sauce
- Teamwork: Wearing the Same Shirt Doesn’t Make a Team
- Personal Leadership: Manage Your Credibility Bank Account
- Accountability: Always Keep the Main
Things the Main Thing
2. Providing success LESSONS!
These come from proven leaders on the firing line. We asked them this simple, but profound, question: "Looking back, if you knew then what you know now, what are some of your most significant lessons learned?" We distilled their lessons into Trade Secrets - the most effective ways to lead and to get results. We can also interview your leaders and incorporate their success lessons into each presentation.
3. Transforming learning into IMPACT!
Most people, when they leave a meeting, training or conference, are excited and want to implement what they have learned. What they come back to is a desk overflowing with fires that need to be put out immediately. Despite all good intentions, those great plans are put on the back burner.
We stop that from happening! All our programs include follow-up with mini-lesson and coaching to support application and accountability back at the ranch. We also offer an optional take home CD with best practices and strategies to enhance learning and results.
Contact us to turn on the light bulbs at your next training, meeting or retreat . We will work with you to present the right learning experience tailored to your audience, budget and time frame.
Remember, powerful leaders create powerful organization!
Whether you are a private or public institution, mission or profit driven, large or small, you must develop the leadership capabilities of all your people – managers, staff , board, volunteer and members to move from good to great to major contributors to your success. Contact us today.
"You challenged me to find ways to fulfill all of my responsibilities as CEO and still be available to my 'customers'. I am going to clear time in my schedule to problem solve and find ways to improve my personal effectiveness and that of the Chamber as a whole. That said – thank you, thank you, thank you!" br> --- President of a Chamber of Commerce
