About us

Companies don't fall apart because the work is hard. They fall apart because of the people stuff. Someone won't own their mistakes. Nobody handles change well. Two departments haven't spoken since 2019. That's the part we fix.

Not So Basic Training has been at this since 1993.

We help four ways.

  • Digital tools you download and use the same day
  • Coaching
  • Consulting
  • On-site Training

You pick what fits. Nobody's here to hard-sell you the whole menu.

It's owned and run by Mitzi Taylor, an Everything DiSC Certified facilitator out of Norton Shores, Michigan. Mitzi has trained thousands of employees, managers and teams at Michigan State University, Howmet, Herman Miller, and RENK, plus plenty of companies you haven't heard of, across manufacturing, healthcare, banking, non-profits, and retail.

What people call us for most: Accountability, Managing Change, DiSC, and getting people to actually Communicate. It all runs on Mitzi's own frameworks, including the System of Accountability and the Hear/Fear/Near/Cheer model for Change.

The whole thing has always come down to four things. Love what we do, do what we're good at, have some fun, and get results. That's it.
