We believe in people and the phenomenal potential they represent.

As such, we believe that if you or your organization are spending more on things, policies and processes, than you are on finding, developing, and caring for PEOPLE, you are likely wasting at least most of your hard-earned money.

Meanwhile, ongoing relatively low levels of available discretionary funding mean that all training and development MUST be of the highest quality available AND affordable.

At Traditional Excellence we believe in the inherent value of people, individually and in teams…and in the potential they represent.

We strive to be a true investment point; therefore, we always set at least three key markers for success

01.

TIMELINESS

Neither too early or too late…but just right

02.

RELEVANCY

What you actually want or need; how and why

03.

SUFFICIENCY

The amount required to create and maintain new and/or better awareness and performance

Our team is headed by Steve Nash…

Testimonials

  • “Steve, On behalf of myself and the service, I wanted to again thank you for the training you provided today. With your knowledge, experience and passion for learning it was a pleasure participating in your class. I am fully confident that not only am I a better police officer for having attended I know our instructors will maximize on what they learned and transfer that knowledge to the rest of the service. I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

  • Lt. Colonel Nash researched and developed a Leadership Course specific to the needs of Tactical Rescue Unit Team Leaders. I found this course to be comprehensive and challenging. The skill sets and leadership philosophies that Lt. Colonel Nash lectured on and taught in dynamic practical exercises have proven to be very useful to me in every leadership position I have been assigned to in my policing career. I would highly recommend Steve Nash to any individual, Service, or Company searching for a high quality training experience.

  • I was asked to recommnet a keynote speaker for the 2009 Aboriginal & Diversity Police Forum. Having worked with Steve in the past, I knew that he would be the perfect speaker for this particular role. Steve’s wealth of experience in the Leadership and Team Building fields made him the perfect candidate for this important lecture. The delegates at the conference were very impressed with Steve’s lecture on Advancing Human Rights Leadership & Professional Practice. Steve’s knowledge and exceptional teaching abilities allowed him to deliver his lecture to a diverse audience. It was a rewarding and excellent educational experience for all of the leaders in attendance.
