Stacey did an excellent job facilitating the virtual meeting. I feel she kept everyone engaged and helped us answer a lot of questions we had about a variety of different topics. I look forward to receiving a copy of the topic discussions. Thank you, Stacey.

I want to follow up on the question above about virtual versus in-person. I prefer in-person, but this session broadened my perspective on the virtual meeting. I don't know that in-person I have seen the level of individual participation that the virtual meeting showed me yesterday. I sensed a level of comfort with everyone on the call to freely...

I wanted to share that I thought this webinar was fantastic and one of the best I’ve ever attended. I got so much out of it, and Dr. Codrington was such an excellent presenter. I can’t wait to see the next one from him in September. Thanks!

I just want to say thank you for this awesome presentation from Dr. Codrington. He is such a knowledgeable and charismatic person. I hope we can have more and more of his content. Your team is always raising the bar.

Today's #womenonwednesdays shout out goes to Stacey Schroeder - Founder of EVelop and Director at The Institute for Management Studies!

I was first introduced to Stacey years ago when she sat on a panel at a Women in Manufacturing event. What struck me immediately was how realistic she was. She was sharp and in-tune with the challenges...

I really enjoyed getting to hear your story and understanding how you got to the place you are today with owning your own business. It was very reassuring to hear that I do not have to have my entire life planned out as a sophomore in college, and that I can continue to learn and grow well after my time in school.

Some of the most valu...

Thank you for offering the one hour "lunch" learning sessions. Not only are they conveniently scheduled to squeeze in an hour of leadership conversation but the caliber of speakers is top notch. The last one that I attended with Lida Citroen provided great insight into leadership and personal branding.

I am very impressed with IMS training development. Every speaker is real expert in the subject matter. Truly appreciate the opportunities for development.

Building a leadership Brand presentation as outstanding. Brought this topic to the attention of our highly skilled group

Thank you Stacey! I have to give credit to Carrie Tyree….she had sent me some info last year about a training with IMS that she thought I might be interested in attending. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to keep coming back!

You all do wonderful job of bringing interesting and relevant topics to us.

Woohoo……thank you! IMS has excellent course offerings, such as today’s. I’m very grateful to SITE Centers for providing the opportunity.

hank you so much! IMS is such a great resource. I always learn so much from the sessions.

I’m grateful Medical Mutual offers staff the opportunity to attend. I look forward to attending more in the future.

Thank you for inviting me to attend Dr. Shatte’s session on the Resilient Leader. Here is a summary of feedback on the session:

Technical Component:

• The Zoom platform functionality was optimized to include engagement techniques throughout the session (polls, chat, audio participation, video, breakout rooms. The breakout roo...

Hi-Stacey, I’ve been looking at quite a few webinars lately and this was one of the best I’ve seen. Liked the content, the pace, the clarity, the format, etc. Thanks so much for including me. Jean

Stacey provided database design, metrics development and implementation for key training performance effectiveness indicators. Additionally, Stacey's analytical experience, technical knowledge and lean skills were instrumental in executing a functionality assessment of a Learning Management System.

I have worked with Stacey for some time now, and her project management skills are among the strongest I've seen. She is organized, thorough and thoughtful with her approach. She also gets the most out of the teams she manages because she leads by example. Stacey also exhibits strong instructional design acumen. I look forward to many more years...

Stacey managed our learning and development group at Swagelok. When Stacey began managing our group, we had a solid foundation for how we do business. In her role as manager, Stacey took the foundation and moved it to the point of being a vision that engaged our group and positioned us for improved effectiveness. Stacey's systems knowledge was i...

Dr. Hannah was engaging and personable and told good stories to illustrate concepts. I wouldn't make any changes! I recommend to others – I don't have a military background, and I appreciated those ideas communicated in a different way.

We appreciate you, too, Stacey!  A lot goes into what you do to help keep us up-to-date on current training.  Ongoing self-improvements is important is key to our success.  This year I think I want to concentrate on collaboration with new teams and organization.

Hi Stacey,
As always, this was another outstanding learning seminar.  I have gathered so much information that I can apply both professionally as well as in my personal daily activities.  Thanks for designing all these resources to help us in our awareness to grow as an individual.
 

Hi Stacey! I was able to view all of these great resources and I wanted to comment that I couldn’t stop talking to my family about Carol Kinsey Gorman’s messages about body language.  I really had several aha moments during her presentations that I think answer some of my questions about myself and how I could be perceived differently than “my b...

I attended the virtual IMS program, Leading vs. Managing: The Difference is Key to your Success with Ann Tardy. I found this session content to be exceptional. Ann’s method to inspire us to become better leaders is inspirational and her dynamic and energetic personality is both captivating and contagious. She encouraged group discussion in a way...

Hi Stacey,
I completed the survey, but this was one of the best IMS webinars I have attended in a while, and I really appreciated Nicole’s perspective. I cannot wait to hear the feedback from others at Smucker who also were able to attend.
 

Q: What did you like best about the virtual format?
A: The virtual format was most enjoyable in that the participants can establish connections with each other via chat! I was able to connect with some individuals on LinkedIn and share resources and contacts.  

Q: What is your perspe...

Stacey
Thanks for the privilege of working with you and Women in Manufacturing back in November.  I really do want to applaud you because you were way ahead of the curve.  You were planning out virtual meetings months before that became about the only way training would be delivered … at least for a while. It’s no wonder you’re so success...

Hi Stacey,
Thank you for copying us on your message to Lucy.  This is great!  We are so happy to be part of the IMS group which allow us to provide our employees continued learning opportunities!  It has been such a wonderful experience this year in getting to know IMS and you!!!   Thank you for all you do.
 

Stacey has done a great job sharing her expertise with workshop participants. She provides an insightful presentation to help them understand an important manufacturing concept - Lean Six Sigma. It is volunteers such her that help our clients gain valuable information to help them pursue jobs in the manufacturing industry

...just got my GRE scores back and wanted to let you know I got a 305 with a 153 on the quantitative and a 152 on the verbal. I also got a 4 on the writing. Thank you so much again for your help, my scores should definitely be what I need for the grad schools I am applying to.

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the highest) how important do you think effective communication is in the workplace?" Stacey said, "11, if you can't clearly communicate your vision you can't accomplish what you want." She was gracious enough to give me a couple of tips on effective communication; pay close attention to the questions a person i...

I just wanted to take a second to say thank you again for allowing me to interview you and capture all of those great nuggets of advice for school and for life! I especially enjoyed what you said about really trying to enhance your soft skills when it comes to those higher level positions that have to deal with a wide variety of people. I defini...

I definitely recommend the content and Dr. Hannah! When will he be back? I want other leaders, my boss included, to attend this session.

Dr. Hannah is awesome, Stacey displayed utter professionalism in facilitating the event. I gained more in 6 hours than in three weeks of Lean Leadership Training.

Great presenter and great content / materials that can be taken back to staff and other leadership within my organization. As hard as it is to be away from the office for a day, this was a great six-hour session.

I led a 90-minute session on Objective Setting, Delegation and Performance Management for 30+ members of Women in Manufacturing as part of the Management Development Program in October 2023. Needless to say, it was a hit!

This course helped me create a vision for myself in life - striving for a better future by learning from the past, but not forgetting to live in the month. Also, I learned that you can always reach higher - you just need to find the motivation to do it!

The topics felt very relatable and grounded. I liked that there were clear solutions to the problems addressed and I feel like I'm leaving with a great toolkit to help me manage these situations better.

Enjoyed the training and 5-day challenge! Every long journey starts with a single step. Small changes like this 5-day challenge would definitely have a long-term positive impact.

Regardless of your position / title or tenure, this course is very beneficial for all new and tenured leaders. We all need dynamic courses like this to remind us of our corporate / life values, goals and people.

Excellent seminar for new managers with real-world examples and an experienced facilitator. You leave the workshop prepared to apply the skills learned, immediately.

The IMS Training was excellent and I have already recommended it for my management team as well as other managers in our service. The training and facilitator prompted us to earnestly reflect on our personal leadership competencies and where we may need to improve to adjust to our new normal. We reviewed the keys to problem solve and be prepared...

I really appreciated the presentation by Margaret Morford. All 7 strategies spoke directly to me. I was particularly glad that she reminded me of something that I had failed to remember. As we transition from one leadership management style to another management style, we need to be cognizant of our behavior. The only thing that I have control o...
