Leadership & Management
Kevin Macho Seminars offers a variety of choices to meet your leadership and management training needs. Choices include partial, full-day, or multi-day training packages. I also give keynote speeches and can also provide web-based training. All content is built and tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of your organization or event. I have spoken to live audiences in almost every area of the country including Alaska and Hawaii.
Our team literally creates new training for each individual client based on the needs communicated. Some courses we have created for clients from the ground up include: Tactical Communication for Supervisors, HR for Supervisors and Managers, Criticism and Discipline for Managers and Supervisors, How Managers Become Great Leaders, Conflict Resolution, Best Practices for Managers, and much more. Keynote speeches vary in topic and length based on the time slot to be filled and subject matter requested.
I have owned businesses since I was 15 years old. Through this experience I have been a line supervisor, managed supervisors, ran operations for entire companies and acted as the Human Resources Director multiple times. I also worked as a line employee in policework for years, which gives me the unique perspective of both the employer and the employee.
I have had the pleasure to lead top sales professionals, police officers as a police chief and training officer, many different athletes as a coach over the years, and even professional umpires as a crew chief in a professional independent league with games played on TV.
I have spent many years studying how great leaders lead from Colin Powell to Abraham Lincoln and many others. I look forward to bringing my unique, in-depth experience to you and your leadership team so that you may achieve the success you are looking for.
Human Resources Compliance
My name is Kevin Macho. Welcome to our HR training services page. Most organizations are much more vulnerable than they think regarding Human Resources laws we are all required to comply with.
One question I frequently ask supervisors in helping organizations gauge their readiness regarding basic Human Resources Compliance is this: Can you tell me step by step what the procedures are related to that process? If your supervisors, GM’s, and HR personnel cannot answer that question without hesitation, you have issues to address regarding basic legal readiness. The liability can be astronomical when we have not taken reasonable steps to prepare.
All of supervision and anyone else in a position of influence should know the basics regarding compensable time, lunchtime rules, family leave law, the ADA, and the required process for exempting employees (including the DOL’s 3 Factor Test as well as the required analysis in selecting an exemption). Did you know the DOL stated that if we have not conducted the proper process, our exempt employees can be re-classified as non-exempt? Anyone in these positions should also know the difference between an employee and a contractor and be familiar with the unique tests used by the state, the IRS, and the DOL. If your organizations “persons of influence” do not know these things you need to address these issues and I can help.
Kevin Macho Seminars offers: Keynote Speeches, 2-hour, 4-hour…., and full-day seminars, uniquely customized to your organizations needs. We offer dynamic, fun training to bridge the gap between the “basics” the courts require your people to know and what they actually know.
We teach simple concepts that, when mastered, will protect your organization from being decimated by high-dollar liability that is easily avoidable once you understand the simple concepts we teach.
I look forward to working with you and your staff to put you on a path to a being a “hard target” that can be seen by regulators and the courts as doing the right things, for the right reasons, at the right time.
Active Shooter
Kevin Macho Seminars offers a unique set of services regarding Active Shooter Training. During my public speaking travel, I frequently speak with front desk clerks at hotels, reception personnel in offices, and various other staff members in a variety of organizations. I usually ask one simple question. If a shooter entered your premises right now, what would you do? In well over 90% of my contacts, what I get is hesitation. No answer at all in the immediate. This cannot happen, but yet it does. This means that if a shooter enters, most of our personnel will have no reaction at all. That likely equals not only the loss of that employee’s life, but no notification whatsoever to the rest of the facility of the danger that is present.
Most organizations have not yet taken the steps to comply with OSHA’s General Duties Clause regarding Active Shooters. OSHA’s General Duties Clause requires that, in base, we identify reasonably predictable hazards and take steps to mitigate those hazards. Active Shooter incidents are one of those well-known hazards.
I developed a unique curriculum surrounding simple, 100 level concepts that are easy to learn and apply if the organization is truly committed to saving lives and protecting itself legally. It is not reasonable to train your people to the level of a police swat team. Your organization members can learn, however, to become proficient in simple, life-saving techniques that will put you and your organization on a completely different plain than most organizations who remain grossly underprepared.
We officer customized seminars in 2-hour, 4-hour, and full-day formats combined with assisting you with an analysis of your facilities’ strengths and weaknesses as well as assisting you with procuring and strategically locating vital supplies and equipment necessary to be ready. We look forward to working with you and your team.
