Kick the Canned Approach

In a world where teams are stretched, distracted, and navigating constant change, Gary brings them back to what matters most — clarity, connection, and the confidence to take action that sticks.

High‑Energy Training That Sticks

Training for Winners delivers high‑energy, customized training that helps teams sharpen their skills, elevate performance, and take action that sticks. Gary Hernbroth brings straight talk and real‑world experience in a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves style that gets people engaged, moving, and ready to put new ideas to work immediately.

And in a world where AI is woven into nearly every business, it’s more important than ever for people to stand out with real human connection, clarity, and confidence — so they don’t disappear into the sameness of automated responses.

Readers praise the value of “Twist the Familiar” via its wealth of lessons and entertaining insights through storytelling, practical lessons, and humor.

So When Is the “Right Time” for Training?

Organizations have heard every excuse: “We’re too busy.” “We’re too slow.” “Does it cost a lot?”

But here’s the real question: Is your competition making the same excuses — or are they developing their people right now?

There is never a wrong time to build skills, sharpen tools, and strengthen your team. As the saying goes: Education will never be as expensive as ignorance.

Training is an investment that pays dividends — for your people and your business.

The Sales team at Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay enthusiastically embraced Gary's "Constructing New Ideas" training program, building their way to sales success.

We take your trust seriously — and we make it count.

Most employees say they stay longer with a company that invests in their growth. That’s why generic, off‑the‑shelf training falls flat — it’s forgettable, surface‑level, and rarely creates lasting change.

When you bring in Training for Winners, you’re trusting us with your people, your culture, and your future impact. That trust deserves more than a slide deck. It deserves engagement, creativity, and play that drive real results.

Customized training enriches lives, energizes teams, and strengthens loyalty to the organization.

If you want to hear what that impact looks like, Gary will gladly connect you with clients who’ve experienced it firsthand.

Gary helped the Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) with ways to “row together” to create greater results among member partnerships.

What Our Workshops Look Like

Our workshops are vibrant, hands‑on, and full of energy. They’re serious when they need to be — and fun when that drives the point home.

Training for Winners uses a mix of learning methods: exercises, challenges, role plays, case studies, contests, and more. Everything is designed to make learning experiential and memorable.

And if you want continued support, Gary stays with you. One‑on‑one follow‑up coaching helps people apply what they learned and grow at their own pace.

Training That Sticks: The S.C.O.R.E. Method

Training for Winners focuses on real‑world scenarios — business shifts, customer challenges, leadership dilemmas, and the day‑to‑day realities your people face. The S.C.O.R.E. Method ensures every program is built with intention and delivered for impact.

S - Situation Analysis

Deep discovery to understand your mission, goals, and desired outcomes. Nothing gets built until Training for Winners knows exactly where you are and where you want to go.

C - Customized Design

Every program is tailored to your culture, your people, and your objectives. No canned content. No generic slides.

O - On-Site / Virtual / One-on-One Delivery

Flexible delivery options that meet your team where they are — in person, online, or individually.

R - Reinforcement

Learning sticks when it’s reinforced. Training for Winners provides follow‑up coaching, tools, and accountability to help people apply what they’ve learned.

E - Evaluate & Elevate

To create change and results, we build programs that include evaluation to increase performance and accountability.
