 People carry within themselves strengths, capacities, creativity and solutions that are often blocked or hidden by the organizational structures and dynamics around them. For more than a decade, we have been successfully engaging leaders and teams to transform these barriers by developing their strategy, communications, and essential people skills. We’re passionate about it. Whatever the setting – Coaching and Leadership Development, Building Teams and Effective Meetings , or Seminars and Training – Zemo Trevathan and Associates Inc. brings tools and solutions that enable organizations to take care of and develop their most important asset: their people. |
 Too often, leaders make strategic decisions are made without key information being available to leaders that would potentially save the organization from a disastrous investment or could benefit the organization with a proven initiative for an enterprise-wide rollout. The tendency is to rely too heavily on savings on investment (SOI)—spending less and under budget—rather than return on investment (ROI)—spending strategically for greater financial gains. Through our Business Value Analytics Zemo Trevathan and Associates designs and delivers studies that help leaders quantify the value of key activities and projects, and to set up systems to continue those analyses. We strengthen organizations’ internal abilities to identify the financial value and business impact of their activities, and offer Training and Coaching in Business Value Awareness. |
 We are based in Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina, and offer open-enrollment seminars for the local business community and public sector, as well as the services we deliver to our national and global customers. We take great pleasure in customizing everything we do to match the exact needs and existing cultures of each client, so please contact us to learn more about how our solutions might fit your business opportunities and challenges. |
 The high level of energy from the offsite continues. Many of the participants are still commenting about the meeting with phrases like "I was inspired". I've also had reports from many on how they've already started talking to their teams about what they learned last week and cascading it into the larger organization. -- GB, Executive Assistant |

  Against great odds, I experienced a huge breakthrough that will have major repercussions on our business. Zemo Trevathan pointed out blind spots, put the focus on developing my leadership skills, and helped me prioritize some difficult objectives. He got me reconnected and excited about the challenges we have, and ready to point the team into the future. KP, Vice President, Technical Operations The SMI team has taught me quite a bit about how “value” is much more relevant as seen through the eyes of the customer. Also, their ideas and examples of value creation and destruction have been enlightening -- I had never looked at how my team could “destroy” value. These have been excellent learnings that help when selling the value of my services.EA, Facilities Manager |
