“I left Propel really motivated and inspired to expand my leadership strengths. There were practical tools I see myself implementing immediately. Though it is often hard to carve out time for training and development, this event reminded why it is worth it. I also made a few great connections. I look forward to participating in future events for those very reasons.”

“Matthew Meuleners from Focus Training provided many wonderful analogies, perspectives and workshops. The team building exercises were a highlight for me. As the friend to many MSU alums, it was great to learn about MSU Railway research and education program. I gained a wealth insight and can't wait to see how this experience grows over the coming years. It also was very dynamic to speak with and meet the Rising Stars as a PR magazine subscriber.”
