Greetings!
We know how hard you have been working to
keep your organizations on track, your
employees motivated and everyone trained.
During the last few months in our
conversations you have shared your
challenges, victories and struggles. There
is good news to share and brighter days are
ahead for all of us in the meetings industry.
It isn't all going to happen overnight but
if we share our victories, success stories
and successes we may just be able to inspire
others to move forward with their meetings
and events and Get Ahead today,
right now, while their competitors wonder
what to do next.
One major bright spot in the national news
this very morning was Ford's announcement of
becoming profitable, gaining market share and
moving forward with bold plans. Wow, what a
great example for all of us. One of our
speakers, Willie Jolley, played a key roll in
the success they enjoy today. Contact us for
the complete story on Willie's impact. Of
course Ford's success did not happen
overnight. Their success was crafted over
last several years with keen planning and
special programs focused on delivering long
term results. We can assist your
organization and help you get tremendous long
term impact from your meetings, events,
retreats and training programs.
We hope you enjoy the next few success
stories and contact us to begin planning your
future success
Trine University
When the call came into our office for a
person who could help freshman college
students juggle multiple priorities and life
changing experiences we knew just the right
person for the task. Reaching students has
never been easy and in this day and age it's
harder than ever. If you have a teenager at
home you know what I'm talking about!
IPOD's, cell phones, multimedia devices of
all shapes and sizes are taking huge amounts
of mind share from our younger generation.
How could anyone break through to drive home
some key points and to help these kids make
it through their demanding freshman year?
Take one dedicated speaking professional, mix
in years of juggling and entertainment
experience, add in liberal amounts of
pre-program research and then combine it all
into a custom choreographed presentation and
presto you have an inspired, motivated
audience of freshman college students better
prepared to face the challenges ahead of them.
" Rob Peck really came through for us! We
were impressed with his talent & techniques
which delivered a great message to our new
students here at Trine." Randy White, Dean of
Students
Up Close and Personal
Remember back in August when I mentioned
training and preparing to climb in the White
Mountain's northern Presidential area?
The trip took an unexpected turn. You see
that area of the White Mountains, just north
of Mt. Washington
has some of the worst weather on record! We
carefully monitored the weather and packed
emergency gear just in case anything
occurred. The day was completely overcast
from the
valley below. Once we broke through the
clouds above tree line on Mt. Washington you
could see well over 100 miles in all
directions. With full
packs we headed north across Mt Clay and Mt
Jefferson arriving at our our final
destination for the day as the sun set on the
back side of Mt Sam Adams at the RMC site
known as The Perch. We knew a front was
expected late the next day so we set camp and
prepared for an early start. The morning
broke clear and cold as we headed back up the
mountain expecting to summit several more
peaks that day and then hike back out to our
base camp. As often happens the front moved
in quicker than anyone had forecast. With
winds exceeding 90 miles per hour we had to
make drastic changes to our plans in order to
just make it through Thunderstorm Junction
and down the nearest trail behind Mt Adams.
We all came home safely. Of course the only
reason we made it down in one piece was the
teamwork, training and preparation we
undertook prior to the start
of the adventure. Is your team prepared to
face the hurricane force winds we are
experiencing
in the marketplace today? Have you prepared
them with the training that can help get
them through? Get Ahead Pro can help you and
your team. Just give us a call and we will
help you summit your own mountains.
