Droste Group Established to Provide Leading-Edge Coaching, Skills Development to Automotive, Financial Services, Professional Firms

ROCHESTER, Mich.--May 1, 20056, 2005--The Droste Group, Inc., a firm providing leading-edge coaching and skills development to corporations and professional services firms, has been established in suburban Detroit.

Founded by Lisa Satawa, a well-known Michigan coaching and leadership consultant, the Droste Group is staffed by a group of coaches with "real world" experience as executives. "Our associates are not 'Ivory Tower' consultants," explained Satawa. "They have walked in the shoes of our clients. They understand first hand the knowledge and expertise needed to be successful."

Charter clients include professional firms, manufacturers, financial services firms and automotive companies.

Satawa said her firm is especially well suited to help sales organizations develop both leadership and sales talent. Sales executives often need the most assistance in making a solid transition from direct contributor roles to sales leadership positions, she said.

"The Droste Group's key focus is to deliver sustainable, measurable results quickly," Satawa noted. "We are serious about not over-expending an individual's time nor the organization's money. That is one of our responsibilities to our clients," she said. "Our style of development is a balance of directive and supportive feedback. Droste's unique coaching process ties directly into measurable performance objectives and how that impacts return on investment."

Prior to founding The Droste Group, Satawa held leadership positions in operations and sales with FleetBoston Bank, Compaq Capital, Pitney Bowes and Dana Corporation, before entering the executive coaching field. She has more than 20 years of experience in strategic marketing, business development, finance and operations, specifically with turn-arounds and start-ups.
