Who We Are

IAMS — my personal brand

Ronning Leadership Seminars is a training and consulting firm dedicated to organizational, executive, and managerial learning.

Ronning Leadership Seminars is a progressive and dynamic firm committed to diagnosing problems and helping to solve these problems in a creative and effective manner. We expect that Ronning Leadership’s services will lead to change, create leadership, and develop a robust organization ready to handle the unique and ever-changing challenges of the future.

Our purpose is to help you create an organization alive with energy, open to ideas, grounded in common values, and able to make decisions based on truth and courage. We believe that this is a process based on the wisdom that constant learning and a clear vision of the future only come by developing leaders at all levels.

Our philosophy is to satisfy each client’s unique needs through a process of understanding their situation, environment, and personnel. We will work with you in creating strategies, programs and interventions that fit your needs.

Our core values are encapsulated in the following statements:

• To excel one must prepare, focus and demonstrate tenacity; compromise on any of them and you’ll be mediocre…just plain average!
• Deciding to act is the most important decision!
• To give up is a bad decision. Avoid this attitude!
• There are two choices in life: complain or create. Choose ‘create’!
• Dreams happen when charged with passion and a plan!
• Open and mindful of the present, but anticipating the future!
• Giving and sharing spirit in all relationships!
• To be fully alive every minute
• Wealth consists of an abundance of freedom for others
• Gratitude is the foundation of living life to its fullest

We are proud of our capabilities, experience and performance, and we look forward to enabling you to become successful as an individual and as an organization, regardless of your organization’s current size.
