“As a corporate CEO, I appreciate the power of Lean Six Sigma, but it wasn’t until I found Mabel Shelton’s children’s book, Never Lose Anything Ever Again, that I realized how this methodology can also teach kids the core principles of critical thinking, responsibility, and problem-solving skills!
Through the principles of the 5S method—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—our 4-year-old daughter learned a structured, simple, and fun approach to overcoming challenges which can often seem overwhelming. Thanks to Fifth Sierra — and Mabel’s books — our young daughter now sees difficult tasks as fun and possible. What was once a breeding ground for contention and strife is now a fun activity while also teaching deeper skills that she will take with her into life!”

“During a two-day Kaizen meeting, Mabel led a group of managers from different middle-mile transportation support teams. Our goal was to enhance the quality of commercial vehicle collision investigations, a critical area requiring precise and impactful solutions. This workshop was an excellent opportunity to see Six Sigma and Kaizen principles in action through the eyes of a seasoned expert like Mabel. Congratulations, and thank you to Mabel for orchestrating a successful and impactful meeting!”

“Having spent years practicing and applying continuing improvement concepts across some of the most challenging disciplines, Mabel has shown the ability to drive to the core of processes with a keen eye for capturing and adding the most value possible. Her ability to sit with, and understand the challenges of stake holders, along with the end goals of the organization, combine to not only achieve those goals, but also build a lasting culture of improvement within the busines which pays dividends far into the future. Having worked along side her on numerous projects, the energy, clarity of thought, and relationship driven mindset she brings to the table have left a lasting impression on me, those involved in the work, and by extension the organization as a whole.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Mabel on several continuous improvement projects while employed with Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services. Mabel presented an extremely organized and detailed approach to our issues and sought to solve them with lean principles and practices. During events held in Brazil she brought her expertise to light by development of Kaizen ideas to streamline processes in an organization that was well beyond the curve. I have been completely impressed with Mabel and her abilities for years and she never fails to deliver on this expectation.”
