Leilani
M. Poland, President
TRC-The Resource Connection LLC
Raised in a family of entrepreneurs, Leilani has an inherent understanding of business and the challenges embedded in not only surviving, but thriving. Leilani has been Inspiring Success through consulting and providing training to leaders and managers since 1978. In 1986, she founded her own business, The Resource Connection, in order to provide the necessaryresources for all of her clientele’s “people performance” needs.
The Resource Connection facilitates an organization’s progress through team building, developing managers and leaders, and providing assessments and learning experiences essential to building your company’s professional future. Over the years, Leilani has facilitated the growth and development of companies of all sizes, from small and medium entrepreneurial start-ups to large fortune 100 corporations.
Leilani creates a foundation for her consulting approach by drilling down to the root of her clients’ needs and desires. She conducts extensive interviews in order to garner a comprehensive understanding of the organization and thereby assist in creating a path for positive forward movement through assessment, identification of potential, leadership development and growth. Leilani facilitates her clients to clearly define the issue/problem, identify the strengths of the organization and inventory the available problem-solving resources within the organization. By doing this, The Resource Connection can then synthesize the information and provide options, resources and recommendations. While in a working partnership with The Resource Connection, Leilani and her team provide as much consultation and support as necessary to successfully implement the solution strategies and drive your business ahead.
Leilani is a talented speaker, trainer and developer of training materials. All of her numerous training programs are designed to help business people become more “efficient with tasks and more effective with people.” Whether as a consultant, coach or trainer, it is always her desire to establish and maintain long-term enduring relationships with clients that allow her to invest in and help actualize the objectives of the organization.
Leilani actively participates, locally and nationally, with the American Society for Training and Development and The National Women’s Business Enterprise, as The Resource Connection is an entirely women owned small business. Leilani graduated with high honors from Rollins College, in Winter Park, Florida with a B.S. in Human Resource Development. When Leilani is not hard at work, she enjoys reading, running, family time and trips to her home state of Maine.
