To be successful in business, it is no longer enough to know your market, customers, and your company products and services. You must know yourself. Not only what you think, but what you feel, and why you feel it. How to improve relationships, and your responses and coping skills under stress. You need “emotional intelligence”. You need a cooperative workplace, where the staff helps each other to reach goals, succeed, and thrive.

Consulting Associates International, Inc. provides specialized training and consulting based on a comprehensive personality assessment, the “Personal Style Inventory”. As the business world learns to embrace personality assessments, this practical tool of self-discovery provides continually expanding knowledge for training, consulting and mentoring.

Margo Mansfield, M.A., is passionate in her desire to develop training experiences to build emotional intelligence. She begins with helping people build basic self-awareness in a way that inspires people to see their own value as well as the value of others with personality differences. She expands knowledge and skill building in empathy, social awareness, integrity, effective relationships, and mastery of one’s personal vision.

In the marketplace, little was considered about emotional intelligence until Dr. Daniel Goleman’s book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ. In 1977, Ms. Mansfield conceptualized and developed her own methods in The Mansfield Way; which teaches people to learn about themselves and how to best relate and communicate with others for mutual success and fulfillment.

CAI began in Hawaii, in diverse culture of family-owned businesses, many of which are generations old. Success requires knowledge of cultural differences and similarities as well as family dynamics in the workplace whether the business is a family-owned or not. In that context, Ms. Mansfield built the fundamentals of The Mansfield Way.

As she became adept with the Personal Style Inventory, her work expanded into organization development, personnel selection and placement, strategic planning, leadership development and retention, succession planning, coaching/mentoring and a Train-the-Trainers program.

Word spread as thousands of people and dozens of organizations from the islands, mainland US and Asia took advantage of this unique program. In addition to the Hawaii location, Consulting Associates International, Inc moved its corporate offices to Yelm, WA in 1992.

By 1996, the Personal Style Inventory was a major training tool of leadership, management and staff development, and became the basis of the School of Holistic Management. This division develops training and consulting programs focusing on the Personal Style Inventory and emotional intelligence.

Consulting Associates International Inc. and the School of Holistic Management combine the development and delivery of 31 years of training and consulting excellence. Call us at 360-458-4945.
