. Each year, KEMBA Financial Credit Union brings employees together for its All Staff Training Day. Held on a bank holiday so everyone can attend, it includes a fun lunch and a learning session. KEMBA's best workshops have been those that mix equal parts of inspiration, information, and fun. The company's HR manager, Diana Fahle, had heard Tom speak at a conference. When it came time to plan the next Training Day, she called -- and Tom met with Diana and the CEO to learn more about their vision for the big day. In a second meeting, Tom brought a draft agenda based, and they worked together to add detail. In a third meeting, they reviewed the polished session plan and looked forward to a great day. Then it happened -- a big snowfall the night before caused major traffic tie-ups as people made their way to the meeting site. The workshop got started an hour late, but after braving the ice and snow and frigid temperatures, everyone wanted to make this their best Training Day ever. And that's exactly what happened. What a fun-filled and inspiring day we had! Tom planned the day down to the very last detail -- no stone was left unturned. We especially enjoyed The KEMBA Challenge game show, and the breakout sessions turned out great ideas that we've already put into action. Tom truly challenged us to take risks and speak out, and what a difference it has made, both for our employees and for those credit union members we are here to serve. Thank you again for a terrific experience! -- Diana Fahle, HR Manager, KEMBA Financial Credit Union This is the first time in a long time that I didn't feel the urge to multi-task during a speaker's presentation. Tom Terez is very engaging. -- Melinda Stock, Manager, Business Development, Integrated Defense Systems, Boeing Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us as individuals and as an institution. I loved your stories, and you used a great mix of learning styles. This was information that any person in any role can put to work. -- Amanda Zigterman, Manager of Recruitment & Student Employment, Dominican University Great day! Great insights! Great fun! -- Denise Thompkins, HR & Administration, AGT Broadcast Services Thank you for this great information! I'll be having my team members take the assessment, and by doing this I foresee it only bettering our team and the service we provide. -- Jason Pettigrew, Benefits/Comp/HRIS coordinator, Cendant Corporation I could seriously sit and listen to you expand on some of these topics for a full day! The work world could use more people like you, Tom. Thank you! -- Jessica Licko, Vendor/Co-op Coordinator, Moline Dispatch Publishing Co. Your passion for what you do really shows, and it's very contagious.
