Leadership Lessons from the Grey Cup to the Super Bowl
From the Super Bowl to the NCAA National Championship Game to a Grey Cup victory, Marc Trestman knows what it means to win and lose at the highest levels of competition. In this talk, he draws on common themes he's relied on throughout his career to share lessons on teamwork, professional integrity, and what it takes to be a great leader. Surprisingly, many of his lessons have little to do with football. They are universal guidelines that can be applied to any field where high performance, under stress, is a must. Why is respect paramount to everything? What, specifically, are your goals and how do you accomplish them? How do you deal with adversity and -- maybe worse -- success? Equal parts motivation, strategy and travelogue, Trestman's cunning and passionate talk provides enough leadership lessons to last a lifetime.

Summary Profile

Over the last 25 years Marc Trestman has been on an unforgettable adventure that has taken him to 7 NFL Cities and 2 NCAA Division 1 programs. He has coached the NFL MVP in the Super Bowl and the MVP in a National Championship game.

Marc has seen the best and worst of times as it relates to winning and losing as an assistant coach at the highest level of the game, yet through his associations with Hall of Fame head coaches and assistants, as well as some of the game’s greatest players, has put a travelogue of experiences together that will capture the football fan who yearns to become an insider to what really goes on inside a coach’s office during the week in and out of season.

At the same time Marc passionately shows how to turn every experience into a positive by using common football themes and principles that transfer to success in everyday personal and business life.

Some of his philosophies include:

* To be a resource to each and every player in developing their football skills and character to the highest level possible, and at the same time have them internalize that everyone associated with the "team" (organization) are entirely "interconnected" with the other.

* To communicate to everyone that they are "accountable" to the whole. That the success of the team is directly related to their individual commitment and effort.

* To clearly define the role and responsibility of each and every member of the organization.

* To put into place a system of football that is flexible to the existing talent and personnel.

* To produce highly efficient play at each and every position to win games on a weekly basis.
