“Professional Strategies conducted a 12 week supervisory training program at Thiel Tool. The results were outstanding in that the supervisors had a new understanding of how to handle, motivate, and treat people to achieve a higher level of morale in the organization. The training program was so good that all of our supervisors really wanted to participate which made the results even more profound.”

"We began working with Professional Strategies, Inc. when our well researched, substantiated and aggressive development plan wasn’t seeing the results we expected. Professional Strategies, Inc. worked within all levels of our company. We were taken through a process that identified obstacles that deterred our results and aligned our efforts to accomplish our objectives. The bottom line was realizing that the best of plans won’t work if people in the organization don’t fully participate and really understand how what they do or don’t do takes us closer to or further away from that overall goal. Experiencing and understanding an improved way to communicate throughout our company was an immediate benefit. The process that Professional Strategies, Inc. introduced to us has been integrated as a routine practice in our company."

"We have been working with Professional Strategies during the past 4 years for management level recruiting, wage scale analysis, as well as assistance in our training and development needs. The knowledge, skills and experience PSI has in each of those areas has been of great benefit to King Innovation. The research on each project was very thorough and our results have been outstanding, allowing us to fill key management positions from a pool of strong candidates, avoid potential wage issues by providing accurate data, and enabling King to improve communication, leadership, motivational, conflict resolution and goal setting skills. PSI offers the services every business needs to be successful and stay competitive today and into the future."

"Using Professional Strategies to facilitate our annual management meeting allowed us to get maximum benefit from this conference. We had a lot of issues to discuss with a lot of strong personalities with very limited time. Our facilitator was able to keep us on schedule and on topic. Valuable mediation skills kept individuals from dominating the conversation and required everyone to participate. With PSI’s expertise, we were able to stay focused on our agenda and realize a successful outcome. Having this resource available has been a real advantage for us."

"Professional Strategies customized an excellent communication program for our production personnel. After the initial visit, they understood the heart of our problem. A 12 week program was developed tailored to our situation. Results have been outstanding. Besides improved communications between all disciplines of production, we have become more compassionate and understanding of each other. Most importantly, production personnel morale has improved dramatically with a better understanding of the corporate direction to provide a quality product, efficiently, and safely to meet our customers’ expectations and requirements.

"I first worked with Professional Strategies as a recruit looking to make an employment change. I was very impressed with the lengths the staff took to understand my personality, needs, wishes and experience. It wasn’t until I worked with PSI as a manager needing to recruit for my company that I truly understood the value added by the depth of their knowledge and experience. Now, PSI is the only call I make to find help with my staffing needs."
