Testimonials

Stan and Kathy from the Propel Consulting Group were engaged by the Lucky Eagle Casino to assist with conflict resolution issues that existed with our staff. He recommended that the staff go through a customized version of the Team Advantage Team Building course. Propel has an unequivocal ability to communicate and takes a natural leadership role, allowing them to teach and guide with ease. They were extremely organized and reliable throughout the whole process and constantly worked hard for our every need. The coaching received coupled with a measurable matrix, provided us with amazing results. I feel confident in giving Propel the highest recommendation because he is not only thorough but also extremely easy to work with.

John Setterstrom, Former CEO / Lucky Eagle Casino

Stan and The Propel Consulting Group are “all in” when it comes to facilitating a workshop. After many years of working with him, I still use many of the items he taught me.

Lou Alparone, Director of Inside Sales / Insulet Corporation

I have been a participant in many of the sessions Propel offers facilitated and they continue to be nothing short of engaging and impactful. Teams leave their sessions with a high level of energy and positive spirits, ready to make an impact: however, Propels impact doesn’t end there. Both Kathy and Stan are masters of ensuring the content learned is integrated into the organization by having touchpoints of accountability built in, which is paramount for real change vs. a feel-good session that maintains the status quo.

I always tell people if you have the ability to work with Propel then you better not pass up the opportunity. In addition, I say that it will be one of the greatest investments you’ve made personally and professionally. I’ve had countless leaders shake my hand thanking me for bringing Stan Sherman and The Propel Team to the team and making an investment in their future.

Stan, I just wanted to drop you a note and say hello.  Also, I wanted to thank you again for all of our time together as it has really helped me, not just professionally, but personally as well.  I have had some personal issues come up recently that I have been able to really lean back on some of your teachings and they have helped me navigate those situations.  Thanks again for everything.

Eric Cloberman, District Sales Manager / Insulet Corporation

I reached out to Stan and Kathy asking for help with a customized team-building program for our Senior Leadership Team as well as our Regional Sales Managers. I was very impressed with the process from start to finish. They did an excellent job of taking a great deal of time upfront to clearly understand the goals and objectives for our workshop. They had numerous calls with the meeting participants, as well as myself, to have a clear understanding of where individuals stood on multiple topics. This helped to quickly uncover current areas of strength as well as areas of opportunity amongst our leadership team. Stanley did an excellent job of presenting the customized program and explaining the ‘why’ behind it. Stanley exceeded my expectations. He more than succeeded in accomplishing the task at hand. Our team was brought to an entirely different level as a direct result of the program Stanley put together. I found him to be extremely professional, polite, focused, and hard-working from beginning to end. I look forward to utilizing Stanley in the future and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to facilitate change and growth within an organization.

Lisa Provenzano, National Director of Training Development / LipoScience

There are numerous consultants and coaches that say they can transform your leadership, culture, and teams. The Team at Propel met and exceeded every aspect of our engagement. They took the time and energy to understand our culture and existing competencies. Then used their knowledge and understanding to design programs that fit our needs.

Their backgrounds paid dividends for us. They were “all-in” and brought a breadth and depth of experience, I have not experienced before. My executive team and management staff elevated, engaged, and started to perform at the level we were looking for.

As Chief Executive Officer in the healthcare field, I have engaged Stan Sherman as a mentor and a culture transformation agent. I would highly recommend having a conversation with Stan.

David McClay, Chief Executive Officer / Okanogan Behavioral Healthcare

Stan Sherman of the Propel Consulting Group facilitated a virtual Birkman Team session for our department that had immediate positive impacts. Stan facilitated in a way that broke out team members into groups with like similarities that have established new team bonds. There’s no question about what the outcomes and results were that Stan helped us achieve to more effectively work together in today’s virtual workplace:

  • A better understanding of the communication needs and how best to approach our team members
  • Uncovered interests, needs, and stresses by team members that are helping determine future work assignments
  • Provided a career exploration overview by team members that called out the top 6 career areas to explore (or reinforce)
  • Identified a gap in our behavioral strengths that we are looking to balance with new hires coming into our team 

I’d recommend Stan Sherman to facilitate key business initiatives that have mature teams looking to take them to the next level.

Brad Kittsley, Executive Director / Comcast

Consider Stan one of the finest and most effective facilitators I have had the pleasure of working with.

Jeff Landon, Telecare

Stan facilitated a leadership course for my supervisor/management team, which consisted of mostly newly promoted managers with little to no previous management experience. His course, despite being remote, was highly interactive and engaging, and every participant received actionable leadership training they could begin using to help their teams immediately. We have seen a great impact of the training as our department is highly engaged and motivated, and the tools he provided our leadership team is what helped get us there. Thanks, Stan!

Shauna Norris, Senior Manager / Insulet Corporation

Thank you for your terrific support this year in helping us to develop our key leaders and build our  business for the future. Well done! I look forward to our continued work together!

Doug Black, Chief Executive Officer / Site One

It has been a pleasure working with Stan. My team was six individuals working in silos before we started working with Stan. Through his facilitation skills and expert process, we have come together as a true team. We have learned to depend upon one another, we have clear goals and plans, we communicate openly, and have achieved our goals. Stan has helped us to solve issues of employee retention, improve our census, and helped us to focus on staff wellness. We have done all of this and had fun while we did it. Thanks, Stan!

Stacey Devenney, Administrator of Behavioral Health / Harborview Medical Center

Thank you again for the start to this important journey and for a productive couple of days.

Facing where we can improve our performance as a team by looking at ourselves is a task few have the stomach for.  It will also require that we call out those behaviors that are not serving us and provide high support to each other as we examine those.   Our journey in the months ahead will take us to a new place of impact, connection and legacy.  Thank you for your willingness to do that work.

CEO, Medical Testing Company
