TSMA November Meeting 2019

TSMA November 5 Luncheon Meeting in Glenwood. Speaker Karin Weigel: StrengthsFinder Leadership Training. Tour following at Clyde Machine.

TOPIC:  Cultivate your strengths
TSMA Emerging Leaders asked and we responded:  StrengthsFinder Leadership Training!
 
CliftonStrengths:  When a team knows their strengths, it creates balance. This balance increases positive communication, engagement and ultimately, production.
 

Speaker Karin Weigel is a Gallup Certified StrengthsCoachTM.   Knowing your strengths puts you in a position to cultivate what you do best to conquer life’s obstacles. Being aware of your own talents builds confidence and provides a basis for achievement. 

All attendees are invited to take a complimentary (members only) strengths assessment BEFORE the meeting.  The online strengths assessment test (a $49.95 value) will determine YOUR top 5 strengths.  Attend the TSMA presentation to learn how your strengths can profoundly change the way you communicate, and change the dynamics of all your relationships in a positive way!
 
Upon paid registration, TSMA MEMBERS will be provided with a complimentary access code for the online assessment.  The online assessment is available to non-members at a cost of $49.95.  The assessment needs to be taken by November 1 to have the results at the meeting.
TOUR:  Clyde Machines, Inc.
Clyde Machines, Inc., established in 1961, is a family owned and operated company founded by Clyde W. Olson.  Clyde was born in 1918 in Minnesota. He then moved to North Dakota where he grew up on his father’s farm. In 1949, Clyde and a partner formed the True-Aire Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota where they manufactured tractor skis and bale stackers. In 1959, he was employed by the Melroe Corporation (Bobcat) in Gwinner, North Dakota as head of their engineering and design department. After leaving Gwinner in 1961, he settled in Glenwood, Minnesota to start Clyde Machines, Inc.
 
The company began manufacturing precision hydraulic motors for tampers used by utility companies. Shortly thereafter, production of towbars, baggage carts, commissary trucks, water trucks, and lavatory trucks were manufactured, which led to the beginning of Clyde Aircraft Ground Support Equipment. Since Clyde Olson’s death in 1971, his daughters, Jennifer Barsness and Araura Nestor, continued to operate Clyde Machines, Inc. as a woman owned and operated corporation. In 2017, they both transitioned to the Board of Directors and currently Chad Barsness serves as President and Clay Nestor as the Vice-President.
 
The present equipment line has grown to include: Cargo Pallet Trailers, Container Trailers, Towbars, Maintenance Stands, Crew Stairs, Passenger Stairs, Slave Pallets, Pallet Racks, Wheel & Brake Changers, Baggage Carts, and new designs to meet the ever-changing airline industry, both domestic and abroad.
