History of Zeigler Training & Development

Zeigler Training and Development, a division of Zeigler & Sons, Inc., was founded in 1996. We have helped thousands of employees at companies around the world improve their organizational, time, writing, presentation, and stress management skills.

Zeigler originally developed the time management course for the Hertz Corporation in early 1997. We were commissioned to interview their employees (and those of our other corporate clients) to develop a course that would immediately help employees more efficiently handle everything that was "bombarding them from all sides every day," at work and home.

Since the original development of the course, we have updated and modified it more than 12 times over the last four years. Our changes are based participant feedback and evaluations. This seminar truly addresses today's "real-world" time and stress management issues.

All of our courses are application-based without the theory and academic approach. Zeigler Training & Development is committed to providing the highest quality service and products to improve performance -- at affordable rates.

Our programs are tailored to your needs so that you get the results you expect. Our clients feel their investment yields immediate returns that pays for the program the first week after the seminar is completed.
