We practically use Nash Consulting as a member of our administrative team - they
have been invaluable in providing objective and effective solutions, management
skill training, and guidance when nothing else seems to work.

  content.  Fabulous!

  and the information was practical and very helpful.   Loved this speaker -
  thank you.

I have been in the public service sector working for sewer/water utilities for 39 years. During my career, so many management and leadership trainings classes were provided that yielded little or no benefit.  The Nash Consulting “Excellence in Management Training" we have been receiving is by far the most comprehensive, practical and valuable leadership training I have experienced. We have learned skills to identify and deal with problems, and not just theory. Triangulation, Feedback, Decision Making, Corrective Actions, Action Plans…tools have been provided in these areas that have helped us to build a better organization.  Thank you for your patience and guidance through this process. I know we all will achieve more and reach a higher level of cooperation, communication, and teamwork, thanks to your efforts. Joan Thomasson, Operations Manager, Woodinville Water Distric

I was made manager of a difficult group, but with no previous management training. 
The firm brought Nash Consulting in to help fix a situation that had gotten out of hand. 
With their help I’ve learned a lot  – I’ve put new processes in place for everything
from new hire training to reviews, and have been able to develop a great vision to
help guide our department into the future.  Nash Consulting's approach made it very
easy for me to learn from them – they're fantastic at communicating in a way you
can relate to and act on.  I expect I'll be emailing with questions for years as I continue
to learn and grow as a manager.

We enlisted Michael to provide guidance toward our goals:  increased morale, organizational health,
retention and teamwork.  In partnership with Michael, we created our STEP program, Sequoyah
Teamwork Enrichment Program, that has helped us gain valuable feedback
from our staff members as well as develop departmental, management
and company-wide goalsand action plans. Michael's interactive 
style and knowledge helped to make our experience
enjoyable, positive and valuable.

Dear NCI -
I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much our members
enjoyed the recent workshop you conducted for us here in Atlanta. 
In fact, I think your overall evaluation was the highest we've ever had!  We learned from the folks in ALA that you will be in Indianapolis next month,
and we look forward to seeing you there.

We are continuing to see growth as a result of your action
research consultation!  We won second place in a
management excellence competition.

I want to thank you for all the work you’ve done with us over the last eight months.  It’s been a
pleasure throughout, even though it was difficult at times.  Your approach has allowed us to
concentrate on the areas that gave us the most bang for the buck.  We also appreciated your
balanced understanding of what employees, managers, and owners can and should reasonably expect in an organization.  You walked us through a potential minefield of vested interests, expectations, and requirements without setting off any bombs.  We look forward to working with you in the future.

Steve Roth, CEO - Thunder Lizard Technologies

I appreciate your interactive but non-touchy-feely approach...you were direct, but also warm and fun to work with.  The ideas and strategies you gave us over these past six months are practical, user-friendly, super effective, and in some cases even brilliant.  Thank you, and stay tuned for further opportunities with us - it's time to branch out to our
out-of-state offices.

Deb Rust, Executive Director
 

I want to offer my endorsement of NCI.  I have worked with Michael for about 15 years, in many capacities:  working with management, staff and attorneys at Perkins, working with senior management staff at Stoel, and many speaking engagements for ALA conferences.  Michael is great.  He consistently gets very high reviews and actually the highest of any speaker for ALA.  Aside from the skills that he brings and teaches, Michael is easy to listen to, provides humor (very funny guy), is engaging and wonderful to work with. Rita Alli, Stoel Rives

Michael’s level of competence and resourcefulness is outstanding.  The strategies and skills he imparted established credibility and
respect from our staff – because they work!
Mike Bushy, grade school principal

 
Great seminar – very enjoyable and entertaining and helpful.  I hope we get the
opportunity to hear him again sometime.  He made the day go fast.
Karen Bland, Employee
 

Wow.  We've had so many consultants in over the 15 years I've worked here; as
you no doubt noticed we were pretty cynical and resistant.  You surprised us.  
The Action Research process you took us through was exactly what we needed.
Staff were involved and motivated - even the "Nay-sayers!"  Our work envirornment
is more positive than it's ever been, and our manager has grown in his skills in
pretty amazing ways.  We're following the action plans we all came up with
during the process, and it's pretty clear that we're finally on the right track.
Jim Richardson, Supervisor, Kittitas Community Hospital
     

NCI helped us make this place a positive place to work – and
we’re getting the job done as never before.

Bringing Nash Consulting in is one of the
best business decisions we’ve ever made.
