2019 “WORLD WAR II IN GETTYSBURG” BUS TOUR SCHEDULE RELEASED

75th Anniversary of D-Day highlight’s Gettysburg’s rarely-explored WWII links Saturday “WWII in Gettysburg” tours run April 6-November 9​

Gettysburg, PA (March 1) — “OK. Let’s go.” With that utterance, General Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the order to start the D-Day invasion to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany in June 1944. For most people, the Civil War dominates Gettysburg’s history. This year—D-Day’s 75th Anniversary—experience a different side of Gettysburg on a “World War II in Gettysburg” bus tour, plus a bonus walking tour of the Gettysburg National Ceremony.
 
A collaboration between Gettysburg Battlefield Bus Tours and Tigrett Leadership Academy, this year’s bus tour departs each Saturday at 2:00pm from the Gettysburg Tour Center at 778 Baltimore Street. The two-hour tour runs weekly from August 6 through November 9. This year, Gettysburg Tours and Tigrett have added a bonus 45-minute walking tour of the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
 
“We are excited to continue this multi-year partnership with the history experts at Tigrett Leadership Academy,” said Max Felty, president of Gettysburg Tours, Inc., operator of the battlefield bus tours. “This unique program provides our visitors with a look at Gettysburg’s intimate connection to World War II, a rarely-explored aspect of Gettysburg’s rich history.”
 
“Our ‘World War II in Gettysburg’ tour tells the inspiring stories of World War II leaders who came to Gettysburg, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill,” says Antigoni Ladd, co-founder and curriculum director of Tigrett Leadership Academy. “Ride along and take a look at the people and places that played a part in the Allied victory in World War II.”
 
“World War II in Gettysburg” tour highlights include:

• Experience the moving stories of World War II veterans buried in the Gettysburg National Cemetery—including D-Day veteran Frank Materewicz and his brother Edward; from Pearl Harbor to the Battle of the Bulge to Guadalcanal, these wartime casualties encompass all theaters of the war and all branches of the military.
• Visit a prisoner-of-war camp and learn why an intelligence camp was located here, training specialized troops for psychological warfare.
• Hear stories of the Navy’s map-making operation that prepared for the invasion of Japan.
• Learn about the scrap drive that almost took some of the battlefield’s most famous monuments, and find out what sacrifices Gettysburg’s citizens made to help the war effort.
• Learn which wartime leaders journeyed to Gettysburg to pay their respects, including Eisenhower, who made Gettysburg his home in 1950.

​WHAT TYPE OF LEADER ARE YOU? ATTEND “LESSONS FROM WORLD WAR II” FREE SEMINAR ​

March 29 event at National Civil War Museum to apply lessons from wartime leaders

Gettysburg, PA (March 1)—Are you more like Winston Churchill? Eleanor Roosevelt? George S. Patton? Eisenhower? Hone your leadership skills at a complimentary seminar, March 29, from 8:30am to 12:00pm, at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg.

Geared toward business, association, and government leaders, the seminar will facilitate selfexamination of your behavioral style, demonstrate the distinctions among four fundamental personality types, and analyze four colorful World War II personalities to target your own style and begin learning tools for working more effectively with others.

Offered by Tigrett Leadership Academy, the seminar will cover these four learning objectives:

• From the master of language, Winston Churchill, learn how the deliberate use of language can motivate and direct others to work successfully.
• Using George S. Patton as a role model, examine the ways that you may use body language to communicate with those around you; then see if you can identify the styles of the people around you just by observing their body language.
• Explore the leadership style of Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the D-Day invasion, who had to juggle the world’s largest amphibious landing and the strong opinions of 13 nations’ military leaders. How did he marshal those competing forces and stay focused on the details of the invasion?
• Learn from the example of Eleanor Roosevelt how you can be a compassionate politician, diplomat, and activist—all at the same time.

Register for this free seminar at www.tigrettleadershipacademy.com/register.html. Space is limited, so register today to reserve your space at this unique educational event.

Lessons From Lincoln, Churchill, Eisenhower, Douglass Inspire Nation's Most Unique and Interactive Leadership Training

Tigrett Leadership Academy offers history-based training with 21st Century relevance.
 
Gettysburg, PA (Nov. 9)—Well into the second decade of the 21st Century, our society faces significant social, political, and economic turmoil. In this environment, how can organizational leaders—in business, non-profits, and government—navigate through this upheaval?
 
At Gettysburg-based Tigrett Leadership Academy, the key to the future lies in the past. By using lessons from 19th and 20th Century giants such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass, Tigrett offers history-based training with 21st Century relevance.
 
“Through unique and historically-tailored programs, we are able to help organizations—of all types and sizes—manage conflict, deal with difficult people, and lead organizational change that is responsive to today’s realities,” says Antigoni Ladd, co-founder and curriculum director at Tigrett. “As we approach the 154th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, we have changed our name from Historic Leadership Training to Tigrett Leadership Academy—and in keeping with our programs’ evolving responsiveness to the needs of our clients, we have relaunched our web presence at www.tigrettleadershipacademy.com."
 
“The historic figures we incorporate into our training lived in times more tumultuous than ours—civil wars, slavery, world wars, depressions, and more—and their leadership was indispensable to humanity’s progress,” says Ladd. “It is essential that 21st Century organizations heed those lessons.”
 
Tigrett applies the lessons of history to help the leaders of today and the future through three program tracks:

Inspiring Others
Organizations often suffer from poor communications, so many of Tigrett’s workshops focus on teaching people to use tools to deliver effective communications. Participants learn to inspire and focus people on the mission from the masters of language—Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. From Eisenhower’s example in shaping his D-Day team, learn the skills of building consensus and running effective meetings. In class, participants apply these tools to their own workplace needs.

Building Teams
The most effective teams have clearly understood goals, people who feel they contribute to the mission, trust and respect for the roles of others, and use open and honest communications. These workshops are designed specifically to help leaders learn to build high-performance teams, especially in the face of continuous change.

Guiding Change
It is easy to lose focus in the midst of our constantly changing business world. Competition, technological advancements, downsizing, and growing government regulations are all culprits, but they can be managed. These programs are designed to help leaders guide their teams through change by creating a culture of commitment and responsibility.
 
Tigrett’s leadership programs are tailored to each organization’s needs, and can vary in length from a half-day up to three days or more, at selected historical sites throughout the nation. They include notable Civil War battlefields—including Gettysburg, Harpers Ferry, and Antietam—as well as Little Bighorn in Montana, Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, and locations along the 3700-mile Lewis & Clark Trail.
 
Programs include the “Leadership Lessons” series, which includes workshops on Civil War Navies, Lincoln, Eisenhower & Churchill, Eisenhower & D-Day, Eleanor Roosevelt, Gettysburg, and Moby Dick; “The Many Faces of Leadership,” using case studies of Civil War leaders Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Walt Whitman, Harriet Tubman, and others; “Wisdom for Today from Leaders of the Past,” using Mahatma Gandhi, Eisenhower, Churchill, General George Marshall, and Roosevelt as examples of courage, inventiveness, and determination; and “Working With You Is Killing Me,” which helps teams to deal with difficult co-workers, reduce stress-related issues arising from work relationships, and improve interpersonal relations and understand boundaries.
