Testimonials
​
Initially Castlewood Treatment Center utilized Donna with ProSkills for leadership training in two of our locations (CA and MO). We were so pleased with her impact on our leadership teams that we've used her for challenges within specific departments. Because of the training and individual coaching that she has provided, our leaders are better equipped to work with their teams better but also each other. We look forward to our continued relationship with her.

Donna brings "life" into an organization because she has passion for what she does. I never knew the extent of the talent at Select until Donna brought out the best in our employees. She is dynamic and a winner.

Donna has been providing training and coaching for our company for over 10 years. Her knowledge and expertise has improved the abilities of our staff immensely! Our trainers get higher feedback scores from audiences and this is directly attributed to Donna. Donna has also presented at our annual conference every year and audiences rave about her ability to connect with them as well as the content she provides. It is always fresh and gives them real life skills and tips to help them improve their own company operations. I would recommend Donna over many other public speakers and trainers I have encountered in my career!

We had Donna train our department on three occasions: 1). Presentation Skills 2). Agenda-setting and running a successful meeting 3). Sales tips for non-sales employees - asking meaningful questions She is professional, knowledgeable, engaging, sincere, and FUN! Most employees roll their eyes when their company provides training. In our company though, people line up to get in! We even have to break meetings into two sessions to accommodate demand. Other departments stop her in the hallway asking how they can get in. I cannot say enough good things about Donna Forgy!!!

I attended a conference in Phoenix where Donna recently spoke on the topics of leadership and employee engagement. She kept me engaged for the entire day by using a combination of activities and very insightful and useful information. I am excited to take the new skills back to work and implement them with my team.

We invite Donna out to our sites several times a year --- and our staff loves attending these trainings. Donna’s wonderful personality, high energy and great taste in music provides the perfect learning environment. Donna’s engages all of her audience --- requesting that the attendees actively become part of the discussion --- instead of a traditional lecture format. While presenting, Donna is flexible and ensures that she addresses the needs of the audience. The experience that Donna shares guarantees that no two sessions are ever the same --- everyone will leave the session(s) with new skills and knowledge. Simply stated, we cannot wait for Donna’s next visit!!

When my company contracted Donna from Proskills, our expectations were very high because of her reputation, testimonials, and other references.
I’m so happy to report that she exceeded them in every way.
Our goal for Donna was to help my customer support and management team, polish their skills and morale for more effective and positive interactions with our customers.
Her unique, warm, professional, and often humorous approach hit the target and so much more. There was an immediate measurable morale boost among us. More significant, were the many unsolicited compliments from clients regarding their experiences with my team shortly after our two-day sessions which Donna custom prepared for our specific needs.
Finally, and completely unexpected, were the expressions of gratitude I received from every single employee that attended her sessions. Despite some early apprehension and skepticism from a few, the program was embraced by everyone.
Donna will continue to play a strategic role in our ongoing development and building of our most precious asset, our human resources.
