Torchbearer Group in Spotlight at National Leaders Retreat
The Torchbearer Group's head of human resources discussed a recent leadership retreat, where the firm's President was a guest speaker. How to network effectively on business trips was examined as well.
FORT MYERS, FL , May 18, 2018 (Newswire.com) - To remain competitive in today’s business climate, it’s essential for business leaders to seek innovation and prioritize growth – in their organizations and in themselves. Trent, The Torchbearer Group’s President, sets personal and company goals to help him maintain motivation and measure progress, and he just accomplished an objective that will positively impact both his own career and the well-being of the firm.
“Our President recently spoke at a top leader’s conference in Dallas, Texas,” stated Kathryn, the head of HR for the firm. “It is very encouraging to be working under such an inspirational person. We see his work ethic every day, so it is great for our industry as a whole to recognize that as well. I know that every time he returns from trips like the Dallas event that he will have a whole new outlook on how to run the office, thanks to the other leaders he meets and with whom he discusses strategy. I am very excited about the travel opportunities that The Torchbearer Group provides, and I look forward to being at the next retreat with Trent and our other high achievers.”

The Torchbearer Group’s President Shares Steps for Networking at a Conference
When Trent attends conferences like the one in Dallas, he uses the same networking strategies that are taught as part of The Torchbearer Group’s training program. First, he starts with clear contacting goals in mind. He considers the types of people he’d like to meet, the kind of information he wants to receive, and where the best contacting sites will be.
Then, he finds out who else will be attending (or speaking) at the event, and learns about their backgrounds plus past, current, and even future projects. Then he sends introductory emails or reaches out to them via social media (Facebook and LinkedIn are both useful for this purpose, according to Trent). This creates an initial comfort level when meeting someone for the first time, because he already shares an experience with them.
Finally, once this initial legwork is completed, Trent works out a schedule for himself so that he has time to enjoy a conference while also meeting everyone with whom he’s been in contact. This is especially vital when he’s a guest speaker, because the demands on his time are even greater, but planning an itinerary for a weekend conference is important for any professional, regardless of their involvement with the event.
“Establishing clear goals has helped Trent become a sought-after speaker at national leadership conferences,” Kathryn concluded. “It has also established The Torchbearer Group as a leading name in the industry. Team members can expect enhanced career development opportunities in the future as a result.”
