As entrepreneurs our businesses are
self created. The practices I learned from Consultants Network workshops provided me with
structures to take my ideas and build them into a business. The style of the seminars marries the
inspired and the day-to-day realities of business. Through our commitment to creating a
company unlike any other in our industry, we have grown into a profitable, ever-expanding and
empowering company. We have done that in partnership with Consultants Network, and I am
clear that without our on-going relationship with them we would be a very different company
today.
In 10+ years of management in companies large and small, I have participated in many training and development programs. Of all the programs, I would have to rank the training and development work I did with Consultants Network among the very best and most effective. While many other programs focused on gimmicks and “feel good” exercises, the time with Consultants Network was rigorous and produced real results. In a few days, the facilitators were able to create a new level of teamwork and communication among the leadership team. Through a series of written and verbal exercises, we were able to see what was missing in our communication inside the company. The results helped our leadership group become a highly effective team with open and direct communication.
In addition, I have participated in one-on-one coaching and found it to be very effective in helping me build great teams and achieve great business results.
Obviously, I highly recommend their services.
Consultants Network has a truly unique ability to improve communication to cause superior results. They have helped me to create opportunities and open doors through thoughtful planning and active listening. I have had such a positive personal experience with them that I have introduced them to my entire management team. The effect has been positive and startling; today we are working more cooperatively and powerfully than ever before.
Working with Consultants Network, Inc., has had a dramatic effect on how we do business. For ten years we operated without a mission statement, no financial goals or objectives, and little direction for our future--and despite all of that we were successful. In just one year with CNI, we have a strategic business intent, mission statement, 10-year strategic plan, and a legacy project to provide our staff with pathways for their futures in the company. Now we have a clear roadmap for our success and already see the impact in increased sales and market opportunities. As a CEO, this is the best time and money I have ever spent.
We found Consultants Network helpful in resolving the challenges that arise in a family business transitioning from one generation to another. Potentially conflicting goals were resolved in a way that left everyone feeling they had won; and we have created a legacy that will have a positive impact on future generations as well as our own. We were able to go through this difficult process in a way that left the family with a united vision.
Since 1997, the leadership of our organization has been engaged in the dynamic...custom designed...sessions presented by Consultants Network.
Has this strengthened our business? Absolutely. Are we able to plan and implement in unstable times? Without question. Did these tools open us up to new opportunity? Yes. Here are the most significant shifts to date:
- willingness to recognize the paradigm we're in, with it's many boundaries and blind spots
- more sustained focus on our vision, ...even through rough financial cycles
- clear communication and shared responsibility for accountability
- being able to create a passion-filled future that is achievable
During our period of working with Consultants Network, we have accomplished the following with their masterful guidance and expertise:
...Identified and REcreated the paradigm: Funeral Service...to be a much more powerful place from which to provide and to receive services.
...Enrolled our entire staff in ACTUALLY providing services that acknowledge ...the value of human life.....creating unique and meaningful services that help begin the healing process.
...Our staff has experienced tremendous growth and development .....They have become extraordinary listeners- for those we serve and for each other. They work together as a team in all their efforts...
...Reorganized our structure to open opportunities for more business, created three distinct profit centers....., and are planning to start at least two additional profit centers. Experienced the largest increase in the number of people we served in the last 10 years.
Overall, we feel our success is directly attributable to the work we have done, and continue to do, with Consultants Network, Inc.
