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.
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: http://www.mitchcommgroup.com/pbec/PBEC_Brochure.pdf

Have you ever asked yourself the question “What benefit does involvement in social media offer to my business?” Many people see social media as a hobby, or only for young people, but miss the important business applications of tools like Twitter, Facebook and blogs. A couple of weeks ago, our chief operating officer Michael Clark shared his insights into the business value of becoming active in social media by participating in an article of the Benton County Daily Record. Two business reasons to get active in social media:
Immediate consumer research and feedback; and
Communicating your message to your stakeholders.
Social media gives businesses, organizations and individuals the opportunity to build their brand reputation, share information and communicate with their customer-base. When should you start getting in the social-media space? After reading the article below, it’s safe to say there’s no better time than the present.
Michael Clark, APR - www.twitter.com/clarknwark, is a social media strategist, consultant and featured speaker for groups and organizations looking for ways to integrate social media into their communications efforts.

All writers can use help from time to time, whether they are just beginning a complex assignment or punching up the language in a piece that they have already written.
When I need inspiration or a reminder to keep my writing fresh, I often turn to Jack Hart’s A Writer’s Coach: The Complete Guide to Writing Strategies That Work. As editor at large and writing coach for The Oregonian, Hart addresses all the painful parts of writing: organizing a project, getting started and refining a draft.
We refer to Hart’s work in one of MCG’s ProFound training sessions about writing clearly and creatively and have found his advice to be reader-friendly, sound and even funny. An example? His tongue-in-cheek lexicon of journalese defines “hammer out” as follows: “Negotiators hammer out – never reach – an agreement. At, of course, the eleventh hour.”
