“Our clients  wanted a site to learn about new solutions that are important to them,”  stated Sharon Sayler, director of marketing for the Battle Ground, Washington based communications consulting firm.

"Leadership today is about succeeding while helping others succeed. To help others succeed you MUST be able to communicate with charisma, self-esteem, confidence and direction! The role of leader, whether in the boardroom or classroom is now incorporating many roles—coach, mediator, team builder, and consultant, even cheerleader! That’s where Michael Grinder and Associates has become an international star.

Working both in the corporate world and within schools—with consultant, trainers and educators—MGA is dedicated to the concept that we are in love with the influence of power, when we really need to be in love with the power of influence. Let MGA teach you how to use your influence verbally and non-verbally.

After studying successful leaders in both the corporate world and the educational world, Michael Grinder has identified the key attributes and patterns that distinguish successful managers — number one is they operate from influence. If you manage to gain only compliance then you are operating from power. The “power” template is short-term, focuses on the “issue level” of the communication and is results-oriented.

"We wanted the new site to be one spot for our clients to get all the latest developments in group dynamics, classroom management and non-verbal communications, we’ve even included podcasts, video clips and free resources and downloads of solutions for even the most challenging of management problems.”  

“We are doing everything we can to streamline communication for students and clients alike. We are automating as many operations as possible.   With today’s powerful technologies, we needed a site that could keep up and be very user friendly, including a need shopping cart system to be unvieled shortly,” added Sayler.
