Zamora Training Inc

The Tools of Life

Can we inspire our Students to be more?


Yes!

For over a decade, Zamora Training has presented and actively developed “The Tools of Life” (a program for senior students) across Australia. In that time we have spoken to more than 86,000 high school students in both public and private schools. This program has been designed to take the skills and competencies being taught in the corporate world and apply them in the educational environment. It is our objective to empower students with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in an ever changing world.

Zamora Training believes in the premise that in order for any training program to be effective it must be centered around a process of interactive learning. Students are encouraged to be involved both with Chuck and other students to create the widest learning environment possible. One of the major factors contributing to the success of the program is the development of a training workbook which enables students to be involved aurally and visually as well kinesthetically.



The course can be conducted in the following manner...

  • Full or half day student programs during normal school semesters.
  • Student Camps and Leadership camps.
The fee structure for the program has been designed to be within the reach of every student within America. The fee for the program is $17.50* per student and includes:
  • One day student program - can be conducted as a full day or 2 x 1/2 days.
  • A short teacher in-service program for those teachers that may wish to be involved.
  • An evening program for parents of the students involved in the program.
  • A printed personalized workbook per student.

* There will be an additional fee for travel expenses for schools outside the greater Milwaukee Metropolitan area only.

Chuck Zamora

Following a successful educational and professional career that saw him rise to the position of State Manager for a large multi-national company, Chuck Zamora founded Zamora Training in 1984 to share his expertise in Sales, Customer Service and Personal Development with the corporate world. Since then, he has become recognized throughout Australia and overseas as one of the leading providers of on-site and public seminars, earning a reputation for obtaining the maximum performance from people and businesses.

Chuck is a devoted corporate trainer, designing half and full day training sessions from a wide series of subjects such as Leadership, Goal Setting, Negotiation and other topics related to Personal Development. Through a progressive expansion program, Chuck has successfully established a series of public seminars which include “The Art of Conversational Selling”, “If the Customer Wins You Can’t Lose” and “Corporate Leadership and Success Strategies” (CLASS).

Prior to his corporate training career, Chuck earned a Social Science Degree, studying Psychology and Sociology, as well as a Degree in Education from San Diego State University. He worked for nearly a decade in both the US and Australian educational systems where he not only taught, but was responsible for developing strategies in the area of cooperative teaching practices.

More recently, Chuck has combined his career as a corporate trainer with his experience as an educator to re-enter the educational environment where he works extensively with senior students. It is from his teaching and corporate training experiences that the content for “The Tools of Life” evolved.

“10 years ago when I was a student at Tenterfield High School Chuck presented “The Tools of Life”. Today I still use the methods and concepts that Chuck spoke about. Now in my Career I would jump at the chance to attend one of Chucks Seminars”
Geneine Davies, Tenterfield High School, 1994


“Leaders are not born they are made”, this is the message I took away with me in the duration of the leadership course. Whilst I was privileged to be the first recipient of the Cory Zamora award I was also fortunate to have been exposed to many valuable areas. The leadership course made me realize that being a leader was not just about being a head of state or the head of an organization. I realized that being a leader was being responsible for the choices I made and the way I lived my life. It was an honor to receive the ‘Cory Zamora Leadership’ award and was a great start to become the leader of my life.”
