Due to the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, my 4-month, in-person, leadership program was condensed to a 3-month virtual program. This was a huge challenge because I had six different contracted trainers (including Alex) that needed to be rescheduled within a 2-week period. Alex immediately told me to focus on the others trainers and that he would work with whatever schedule I needed. He then 100% reconfigured the courses he was contracted to facilitate to meet my new programming needs and ensure the overall success of my program. That was amazing and took a huge weight off of my shoulders. Once his sessions began, he was absolutely exceptional. The content he presented was interesting, engaging, and pushed all of the participants, including myself, to reevaluate what we thought were successful leadership tactics. And, although he had more than enough content to share during our time together, he always made time to engage to insightful discussions with the participants. Following his four-week training on “Mastering Political Savvy,” “Strategic Networking for Public Sector Professionals,” and “The Seven ‘Must Have’ Leadership Skills” he received overwhelmingly positive reviews from our program participants and comments such as: ‘I liked getting to understand Alex's business acumen and his perspective on leadership. He brings a lot to the table with his experience. If we have to choose one specific concept, it was the mastering political savvy. This is an historically overlooked topic in the professional development programs in our industry.’ - Shawn Beaumont, Park Manager Here is the bottom line. If you want someone to lecture about leadership theory, then you can find that almost anywhere. But, if your organization needs leaders who can practically and strategically use leadership influence techniques to effectively gain support for essential programs and operations, navigate challenging leadership situations and relationships, and further your mission, you need to hire Alex Tremble. So, for all of the reasons listed above, and so many other reasons not listed, I strongly recommend Alex’s services and am looking forward to hiring him to equip more of our leaders with these essential skills.

Alex has been a long-time contributor to the ATD community and has provided valuable insight on the topics of leadership development, management development, networking, and staff and talent development.
