A Shout Out for Michael Couch: A Pittsburgh Entrepreneur
“Never buy anything from someone who doesn’t use or do what he sells.” If you agree with my mantra, then you should know about Michael Couch. While many Industrial/Organization Psychologists say they can help corporations with strategy, culture, talent and processes, Michael has a most interesting way of showing how. Michael Couch & Associates Inc. www.mcassociatesinc.com helps the consultants who help his clients! Interested? Learn how Michael does it here.
How did Michael get started? After 25 years plying his trade in OD, HR and Quality Improvement roles, and running a Business Unit that manufactured and sold small diameter steel tubing, he founded MC&A Inc.
When Michael started MC&A Inc., scores of local consultants were attracted to his value and supported, guided and challenged him. He didn’t want to lose his valuable resource so he assembled his like-minded solo-practitioner consultant-fans into a local network he calls “The Pittsburgh Consulting Community”. The Community has grown into a tribe of more than 350 folks that have a mutual interest in learning how to run and grow a consulting practice. The group is connected virtually but also meets regularly to share successes, hear from experts, and discuss opportunities to collaborate. Michael “walked his talk” when he graciously invited me to speak to his community. If you are interested in consulting with Michael or joining the Consulting Community, contact Michael at http://www.mcassociatesinc.com. And just think of how he can bring your organization together!
