With today's business environment becoming increasingly complex, having a coach has become crucial to an organization's success. I can think of no better resource than Steve Trimper. Steve has helped me understand that what drives and inspires us can completely change the trajectory of our lives. His approach has helped me, as a business leader, realize that you must be willing to serve others and that leadership is about taking care of your people first, as there is nothing any more valuable. Steve's book, Walk Off Winning, will provide the roadmap to what leadership is truly all about.

We have had the privilege of working with Steve Trimper and have witnessed his ability to translate his superior coaching skills to leadership training in a business organization. Many similar correlations exist between successful team performance on the baseball field and your teams' successful performance in the business setting. In Walk Off Winning, Steve takes 19 core values essential in the development of a strong culture and leadership ability, then uses them in easy-to-apply lessons for you and your organization. The book is packed with valuable insights for improving how you, as an individual, influence and impact your team as a coach and a leader.

We were fortunate enough to have Steve Trimper present a leadership session at University Credit Union during our company wide training in the spring of 2015. While we knew that Steve would do a remarkable job with his presentation, we were not disappointed on that front nor with the impressive results we immediately noticed with our employees after the session. Steve inspired many in our workforce and he left a lasting impression of leadership with them which is still exhibited and referred to from time to time, almost two years after. He set the bar high for future trainers when he came to spend time with us and we feel fortunate to have gone through one of his coaching sessions.

Matthew J. Walsh CPApresident / CEO University Credit Union Orono, Maine

I had a very good employee of 17 year ask to meet with me this past week before she left her employment with CCI. In this meeting, she shared that a very traumatic event in her personal life several years ago, had, in her words, nearly paralyzed her from making major life decisions-that is until she heard you speak at our staff day when she was inspired to make a major career decision.

My staff appreciated your presentation and your talk was a key cog in a very successful staff gathering. Thanks again for your willingness to join us in Bethel.
