About Your Consultant
My Passion
As a manager, leader, and operator with over 30 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of training, developing, and guiding teams at every level of management—from frontline employees to senior and general managers. What I’ve enjoyed most is mentoring and teaching others, helping them understand how to interpret and apply policies, observe their work environment, and create procedures that foster consistency and improve performance. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch people grow into confident leaders.
Now, I’m offering my extensive experience and knowledge to help small and medium-sized businesses grow into thriving enterprises. As an owner or manager, I understand how challenging it can be to find time to train your team while balancing everything else—growing the business, making payroll, managing inventory, scheduling, hiring, and handling paperwork.
That’s where I come in. As your business management consultant, I’ll help tailor solutions to your needs, giving you more time to focus on what matters most—making your business thrive.

"What Makes Managers Matter" By Michael De'Shazer
Introduction
Have you ever walked into a restaurant and couldn't find anyone to greet you? That could be a sign of poor management. If the staff doesn’t bother to say hello or thank you, it’s another indication of poor management. Slow and substandard services? That’s another example of poor management. When salespeople start complaining about their coworkers or managers, it raises a red flag for poor management. And if the manager doesn’t greet you with a smile, that’s yet another example of poor management. Do you notice people consistently arriving late or assignments being turned in late? That’s also poor management. Are staff members frequently covering for others? That too is poor management. If the manager works harder than their subordinates, it’s also an indication of poor management.
These issues impact not only the internal dynamics of the workplace but also have ripple effects on colleagues, customers, and overall production. When problems arise within the team, it creates an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty, affecting the morale and collaboration among colleagues. This, in turn, can affect customer interactions because disgruntled or disengaged employees may struggle
to provide the level of service and professionalism that customers expect.

FORMER MANAGER
Since joining the company over fifteen years ago, I’ve never encountered such an upstanding manager! My journey with Mike has taught me how to approach my work group with compassion and respect. His leadership has helped me to become a much stronger leader as well as a problem solver, team builder, and planning professional. We have thrived as a management team for our company and employees because he has the method of teamwork. His nurturing business perspective could help any new manager looking to excel within the business world. I personally want to thank Mike for always holding me accountable and helping me grow with the process, which is his number one motto. “If you plan correctly, then you shall receive successful results”. Without his expertise in management along with his “what is your will” and “following the process” motto, I would not have been able to troubleshoot the issues in my management style nor thrive through the issues. My journey to Michigan as a manager has improved dramatically and I am thankful to have such a wonderful coach who believes that I can do well.
FORMER PEER
A few of many things I Learned from Mike:
- When dealing with anything or anyone that could potentially pose a future question, always thoroughly document your actions to ensure transparency as well as accurate record-keeping for future reference.
- Pay Attention to patterns and trends - Knowing patterns and trends allows you to plan and be proactive, rather than reactive. This is an important skill-set to teach the leaders of your organization. If you know what to look out for, you’ll never be surprised by what comes.
- Listen more, Talk less - If you listen more and talk less, people will tell you everything you need to know. Ask open-ended questions to gain valuable information.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions - Asking questions is imperative to gaining a thorough understanding as well ensures everyone is on the same page and eliminates unnecessary miscommunication and assumptions.
- Processes are the key to success - You must develop and implement efficient processes to ensure critical items are not left undone. Processes must yield a positive outcome without being a detriment to the operation or the employees. Always look for new ways to improve or streamline processes.
- Manage your boss - Be open to your boss’ preferences and always take them into consideration. Your operation should reflect the idea and vision that supports your leadership’s plan. You may have an opinion, but your boss will always have a prevailing opinion.
- Assist your peers! - Even when you think you lack the resources, you should always go out of your way to assist a peer in need. There will be a day that you will need them, and you want them to know that you were willing to do whatever it took to help them be successful.
- Own your Business - Treat your operation as if it were your own business. Ultimately, your operation not only reflects your individual talent to plan and organize, but it also reflects the level of care and your attitude towards the company that you represent. A poorly planned operation is a poorly run operation, which will always yield poor results.
- Have the Courage to engage your team - Never miss an opportunity to have those difficult conversations with your team or peers. Failing to address issues in the moment is like allowing cancer to spread.
- Have integrity! - Never attempt to cover up or hide a mistake to avoid accountability. It's okay to make mistakes if you learn from them and you do not repeat them. Let your boss know BEFORE they find out. People appreciate honesty over deceit.
- Never take anything personally - Business is business and all decisions should be made to support the interest of the business rather than personal preference or personal beliefs. Be open to receiving critical feedback to grow and never take it as a personal attack.
