How I help leaders lead...



The blog


Timely and thought-provoking articles on topics like leadership, guest service, motivation, leadership, communication and leadership.  Did I mention leadership?

I observe the human condition and experience and usually find some sort of leadership lesson hiding underneath.

Training


If you are not going to train your leaders, don't bother training your employees. Handing your leaders a set of keys and a radio is not the way to set them up for success.  Train your leaders on the importance of communication, motivating their teams and being a positive role model.

A very nice person saying something nice!


"I have known Matt Heller for several years. I consider him a friend as well as a colleague. Matt is an amazing authority on training for the amusement industry. His work experience gives him instant "street credit" with his audience. Most recently, Matt conducted a Leadership and Train-the-Trainer session for over 200 of our seasonal management staff. What a terrific way to kick off the 2012 season! Matt was both enlightening and inspiring. I have heard feedback from each of our departments stating how their seasonal management team are referencing and implementing the skills learned during Matt's presentation. We can't wait to bring him back again!”
