We’re excited to introduce an innovative new concept we have created to meet your training and development needs.  The ProFound Business Enrichment Consortium offers top-tier trainings in a group setting on a monthly basis at a great price.

Designed for small to mid-sized businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area, the Consortium  offers three primary benefits:

• Relevant, business-impacting trainings that will help develop and motivate your employees;
• A  powerful network of professionals who are looking to grow their own skills as well as find solutions for their workplace;
• Engaging and experienced trainers who will ensure each monthly session is valuable and applicable.

All of this comes at a significant value.  Because by sharing the costs of training with other companies, each company gets the same training experience at a much reduced price.

You can also join the Consortium now by clicking here. Special discounts are available for those who join by August 15! Classes start in September.

Jane Thompson (far right) and members of Walmart Financial Services present Mitchell Communications Group team, Susan Morgenstern, Heather Ellington and Scott Pope, with 2009 Walmart Customer Service Award.

If you asked me what I like most about the agency world, I would answer: Our clients. It is such a privilege and joy to work in partnership with great clients. I know I speak for the whole team when I say we love our jobs because we love helping clients.

That’s why we are so grateful to have been honored with the 2009 Customer Service Award from Walmart Financial Services. Our teamwork with Financial Services is a continuing source of pride because of their dedication to excellence in products and services. Who doesn’t enjoy working with the best?

So we offer our thanks to Jane Thompson and her entire team at Walmart. The award has a place of honor in our offices. It’s an inspiration and a reminder that all our clients deserve our best efforts every day.

The ProFound Business Enrichment Consortium (PBEC) is the newest organizational and leadership development product from Mitchell Communications Group. PBEC is a member-based initiative that offers employers who become members high quality, relevant training for their employees on a consistent basis. PBEC trainings are designed for front-line employees, rising stars and new hires.

Prior to formalizing our concept for the consortium, MCG conducted research throughout the region to identify the greatest training needs of small to mid-sized companies. Our findings helped us develop meaningful, affordable and applicable curriculum designed to develop employees.

Trainings have been divided into four key topic categories: communication, effective teams, leadership and managing others. A description of each one of the courses can be reviewed at:

On May 26, MCG added six new awards to the agency’s collection from the 2010 APEX competition,  conducted by the Northwest Arkansas Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America.
