At NMA are privileged to work with some of the best and brightest business leaders and owners in the world.  Often they share their successes with us so that we can share them with you. 

Here is "what's possible" for you, your team and/or organization when you coach with NMA.

NMA helped our management team to become better communicators and cognizant of our effective behavior in our business environment.  

I initially hired Natalie Manor & Associates to help me with an employee communication issue that I had been unable to solve. NMA turned what I expected to be a very confrontational initial meeting, between two employees who had stopped talking to each other, into a productive communication session. I was impressed with their ability to get the employees to openly discuss issues that they were very emotional about.   

I have since worked with NMA on projects with several of our other employees. They run meetings in a highly professional manner and are not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions to get to the heart of an issue. They are able to be direct with her message without being threatening. Our greatest benefit from working with NMA has been the improved communication between our senior management team. She has made us more aware of what information we need to better communicate and the most effective ways to deliver that information.

This consistent and continuous self-improvement was key to our success and growth as a technical company.

Richie Torbett, President, Networking and Computers

NMA has been working with our organization for several months and I wanted you to know that you were the first name which came to mind when we had problems in our working environment. I felt “Natalie could fix this”.  

Your continued work with me has been insightful and has generated a curiosity within me to find a method of solving the communication and team issues in the workplace. The benefit of this was an awareness which helped me to see who I am and how I am perceived by others in the management team and organization. I also appreciate now being able to confidently determine how to create effectiveness. 

Thank you for your continued work with our team.  

Angie Reed, Marketing & Business Development Manager, K-State Federal Credit Union

Working with Natalie and her team is like working with an extension of my staff.  They have always been available for my team and me just as if they worked for our company.  NMA as an organization has been great.  We have had the luxury of utilizing Natalie and her key members for our coaching and training.  As a team, our biggest challenge was trust.  Communication was not good because we did not trust each other with information and/or follow-up.  After working with Natalie and her team, we have begun to open up and hold each other accountable so the trust can be built.  The communication has improved beyond my expectations.  Natalie worked with me one-on-one and many of my staff one-on-one to help us achieve these impressive results.

Collette Sorgel, Former Vice President, TDS Telecom

I have and continue to enjoy my coaching experience you. You were there for me. I could say anything I wanted to say as it was an enjoyable and comfortable relationship.  

I think we are all perpetual learners. Although in this situation I was the student and you were the teacher, you always made me feel as though I was an equal, and that this interaction was a two-way street, which I appreciate. 

Your coaching methods made me fell safe, and I think that that was the key to learning - to feel safe and comfortable with the information and processes. I have learned about my communication style and how to marry competence and confidence.

Thank you for all your help.

Patricia Hanson, Former Director, GSI Group, Laser Systems Division

NMA has been the cornerstone in our process of team building. Instrumental in this has been the process of creating and maintaining trust in the management team. Natalie, you made this as seamless as possible and the results have proven a more stable, effective, and highly efficient team. This rethinking at the higher levels has enabled us to implement and see benefits to begin to affect our extensive organization. 

I know at NMA I will always deal with a team which is personable, professional, I would say I can identify with and who I believe is necessary for the growth of the company. 

Our management team has progressed in their ability to easily and confidently communicate. 

LaRae Kraemer, President and CEO, Kansas State Federal Credit Union 

I believe the creation of an environment at work, which encourages and challenges people to improve their communication skills and fosters learning is one of the most important contributions an executive can make in today’s world.  A learning environment such as this will allow any organization to be more responsive, improve service, and enhance employee and customer satisfaction.  I have found that access to leadership and communication training has been a major positive influence in my career, and has helped me become a more effective leader in my organization.
