“We knew we needed to design a performance management system. Elisabeth and Martha started by completing a comprehensive business analysis, learned our organization and suggested a major reorganization. They then provided an Employee Development, Evaluation and Compensation Plan and helped with the implementation. NLS has also helped us with software selection and management team coaching. They are reliable, consistent and efficient. They do what they say they are going to do, and more.”
Brandon New, President, Metroplex Metrology Lab

This woman has brains, spunk, charisma, caring and wit. She will become the person you initially don’t want to live without because her skills are so strong and yet she teaches you to make smart decisions without her. Shirley has completed a Partner 360 degree feedback session with our employees; and she has worked one on one with several members of the management team, and the firm’s partners. Each project has been completed with a high degree of professionalism, timeliness and has fully met or exceeded my/our desired results.
Carol Sente, President/CEO Sente Rubel Bosman Lee Architects LTD.

There are few things more frustrating to a leader than watching talent fail to reach its potential. In leading a group of regional and account sales managers for several years, I encountered resistance akin to rigidity in these long term survivors. After bringing Shirley in to work with them for a day and a half at an offsite, the transformation and recognition by these very individuals were enough to convince me of her value in any organization – for insight, guidance, and a realistic perspective.
Mark Powelson, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Handi-Lab, Inc.
“Martha reviewed our marketing and reservation processes. She showed us how to convert our processes from a highly manual procedure to a fully automated system. The improvements have saved us many hours, resulted in a faster collections rate , gave us a much more professional image and resulted in a higher membership retention rate. Her strategies and input have made an awesome difference.”
Donna Skell, President, Fellowship of Professional Women-Dallas
"I have worked with Shirley through several organizational changes. She brings unique insights into the people, their interactions, and the dynamics of the organization. Clearly articulated, this knowledge has allowed us to move our organizations and key individuals to the next level of performance.
Eric Litt – CISO, “Automotive Sector"
My experience working with Trisha has been very positive. Updating my website has been completed through electronic communications. Trisha was terrific, proactive, and always responsive to my requests, questions, and comments. I have worked with other website developers and find Trisha to be much more user friendly. I highly recommend her!

“ERG markets and supports mid market software solutions and as reseller we work with many professionals that help business select and implement systems. Recently we were very impressed by Elisabeth and Martha when we were called in to explore a new system for a local service company. They owned the clients issues and you could tell that the client's best interest were paramount.”
Don Zelezny, Vice President, ERG
Elisabeth helped us develop a Strategic Plan with Tactical Objectives for each employee. Then, she helped us implement a performance appraisal system that tied the Tactical Objectives directly to each employee’s individual, measurable performance expectations. As a result each employee understands what is expected of them personally and is accountable and empowered to attaining company goals. David Yandry, CEO, Acclaim Networks
