Our Philosophy: "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day (if he can cook). Teach a man to fish (give him some recipes & spices) and he eats for a lifetime (and well)."

I founded The KARS Consulting Group, LTD for a single purpose--to help
those who needed it by providing access to resources, information, expertise
and to teach them to become self-sufficient and do for themselves.
We've done this in 4 ways:
1. our website--by providing resources, tips and information--all free;
2. our KARS Learning Cohort, which provides an avenue for clients to participate
in learning communities and apply theory into practice to help take their
business or organization to the next level;
3. our Pizza Party Tour--by bringing our site to life and taking the information
and resources to the community; and
4. by taking The KARS Consulting Group to the next level--changing the
game and going beyond being a "traditional" consulting firm.
Our innovative KARS Learning Cohorts, KARS Working Web Series; KARS Groupies,
KARS U, KARS TV Channel on Ustream, Learning Communities, and other "future"
projects--along with our vision to grow the company into a collaborative
group of experts from a wide variety of fields are all components of what
we see and are building as the future of consulting services.
During a career that included working for large
corporations and organizations with large budgets and access to
seemingly unlimited resources, I always found myself working with
smaller organizations and businesses and helping them to learn the ins
and outs of a process that was in most cases overwhelming and confusing
to them.
My years as a teacher instilled in me a belief that it
was not good enough to simply do something for someone--it was just as
important to teach them how to do things for themselves so that they
could be better in the end than when you found them.
We accomplish this by providing a dynamic resource
that constantly evolves, involves, informs and instructs than
just putting out information. We're not trying to simply convey a
thought, we want to compel.
That philosophy is the underlying
foundation of The KARS Consulting Group, LTD. We work closely with our
clients to help them to understand the process as we guide them through
the ins and outs of becoming effective communicators and understanding
the art, science and psychology of communication--and how to use both
style and substance in communicating their message and moving people to
produce the result that they want.
When trying to garner support
or patronage, organizations and small businesses are competing with
everything else in their target audience's lives---their children,
spouse, jobs, entertainment, families, vacations, even their choice of
dinner plans. In order to effectively convince a person to part with
their hard-earned cash, provide support, donations, make a purchase or
volunteer some time, the message has to be one that will not only convey
the importance of a cause, but will also compel people to action.
It's
not enough to simply provide information, one has to tell an effective
story and paint a picture that resonates with people to get them to
connect with you and your organization, your purpose, your cause.
Knowledge Always Reigns Supreme--If you have the knowledge, you can put it to action and create a result. Information is static. Knowledge is dynamic.
Come. Join us on a journey of discovery, learning, introspection
and improvement as we help you to learn how to fish so that you may eat
for a lifetime.
