Leadership Development Training Course

Managing with Heart

Coaching & Consulting for Positive Change in the Workplace Environment

About Marlene

My journey in leadership training started after turning my past business, a local communications firm, into a hub for corporate seminars.

I'm Marlene Sumpter, and today, I help companies build that exact same culture of excellence.

I built an answering service that became so known for its quality, other companies started hiring us just to train their staff. Today, that obsession with exceptional customer experience is exactly what modern contact centers are missing.

Course Overview

Leadership Development That Translates into Real Performance

I help organizations develop managers who communicate clearly, lead confidently, and deliver consistent results.

Effective leadership isn’t just about hitting metrics—it’s about creating a culture where employees feel valued, heard, and motivated to perform. Designed specifically for customer service and call center middle managers, this program bridges the gap between managing daily operations and leading with heart.

Through 10 focused modules, fillable reflection worksheets, and mediation assistance training, your team masters the core skills that drive positive workplace change. Flexible by design, modules can be completed online at the student's desk during downtime, supported with onsite assistance from me, or delivered as a blended learning experience.
