As an executive coach, Founder, and CEO of Madrid Partners, LLC—a consulting firm dedicated to providing leadership and organizational development services to individuals and organizations for over 30 years. I am also the emcee of the GNEX Conferences, global conferences for leaders in the industry, for the last 15 years. As a professional speaker and author of several books on leadership, including "Leadership in a High-Performance Culture" and "Get Over It and Get On With It," I understand the unique challenges and opportunities within the vacation ownership industry. When attending ARDA or GNEX conferences, I never miss reviewing the latest copy of Resort Trades magazine. It’s rare to find a monthly publication dedicated to a group of readers so limited in size yet so marked by an eagerness to learn, network, and serve their customers. Resort Trades consistently provides valuable insights, industry updates, and innovative ideas that cater to the dynamic needs of timeshare professionals. This magazine is an indispensable resource, reflecting the commitment and enthusiasm that define the vacation ownership industry. If you want to stay in the know of the ever-changing resort industry, grab a copy or subscribe to Resort Trades. JIM MADRID CEO/FOUNDER MADRID PARTNERS, LLC jimmadrid.com
