New Website Coming Soon!

The wait is over: 2020 is here! And now that we’ve got the ball rolling, the overwhelming feeling in the Mako Consultants office is gratitude. We’re thankful for this company and the career journeys that we’re on, but most of all we appreciate this team and the chance to work together to fulfill all our goals for the coming year. We have a lot of fun things planned, like team nights, giveback events, and holiday parties, but we’ll be pretty busy hitting some ambitious objectives too. Here are some tips we’re reminding each other of as we work through our New…

This has been an amazing year for Mako Consultants, marked by well-deserved promotions, fun team nights, and infusions of new talent. We pushed right past so many of our goals and created a ton of momentum for 2020. Not only are we diving into an exciting new year, we’re opening up a whole new decade with a lot of optimism.

Our recent R&R trip to Cancun was just what the doctor ordered for Team Mako Consultants. We thrive in our fast-paced industry, but it’s nice to have some time to recharge our batteries once in a while. The Cancun excursion was definitely relaxing, but it delivered some other benefits as well. It’s safe to say we’re more inspired than ever to close out the year with a bang and dive right in to 2020.

Here’s something that it’s easy to forget: professionals are just people. However, the pros that we admire are those who have developed habits that make them more effective in whatever profession they pursue. That said, these are some of the Mako Consultants tips we share to help our team members act like professionals worth admiring. If there’s any one skill that would benefit everyone, especially professionals, it’s being organized. This may include keeping our desks cleared off – though we recognize the need for creative chaos on occasion – but it definitely applies to planning, keeping a calendar, and writing down…

With students going back to school all across the country, it’s a good time to talk about the value of a growth mind-set.

There are many reasons that constant learning helps us in our careers. For one thing, having growth mentalities allows us to be better listeners. We’re open to new ideas and approaches, so we’re always ready to apply input from others. This…

We love traveling to industry events with our Mako Consultants colleagues, even when they’re right in our own backyard.

As we interacted with top performers from across the country, we got to learn a ton of new business tips and tricks that will help our team well into the future. Our knack for networking also paid off handsomely during…

As 2019 begins, Jeremiah believes it’s important for everyone on Team Mako Consultants to spend time reflecting on the achievements of 2018. This includes personal victories, of course, but for Jeremiah, one of the big takeaways is how the company fared. A recent award from the National Association for Business Resources is a key piece of evidence that the firm is thriving. This award, the “Dallas/Fort Worth’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For,” is an honor bestowed upon only a select few organizations in a major metropolitan area. The companies are assessed on specific categories such as retention, communication, recognition,…

It was begun in 1947 by Bill Hendricks and his wife Diane, who made some handmade dolls and asked her husband to deliver them to an organization that supported…

Among the many focal points of our Mako Consultants training program, public speaking skills seem to occupy an especially important place. The benefits of working to become an effective speaker are many, so it’s well worth the efforts that go into honing this key ability. Here are a few techniques we’ve found helpful in sharpening our speaking prowess: Being Prepared: There’s really no substitute for preparation when it comes to impressing as a public speaker.
