Your workshop is getting rave reviews…no surprise since every workshop/seminar you have done for us has rated very high. I really appreciate your willingness to be part of this. Many thanks.

Global Steel Foundry Organization - Atchinson, KS

I’ve had most all of the people say this was the best leadership and management training course they have ever taken. One particular manager that has been with this division for years stopped by personally and told me it was the best training he’d been to. I personally think it was the best one I’ve been too. When we’ve got more training needs I assure you we will be giving you a call.

NSBT is an invaluable resource for our business! They are a must have for any entrepreneur, CEO, or manager concerned with bottom line results. Mitzi Taylor combines everything you want in a business coach – results, oriented goals, infectious enthusiasm and a passion for change.

Great Lakes Ice Cream & Fast Food Assoc.

Thank you very much for your time and effort that enabled us to have a wonderful 41st Convention & Trade Show. I personally heard many comments about how great your presentation was and how people were going to immediately implement what they had learned. We are very luck to have had your help.
