“Galen’s session with my extended leadership team was both fun and impactful. His core message of harnessing the principles of improv to enable a stronger, higher-performing team was very well received. He delivers the content in a way that is interactive, uplifting, and exudes positive energy. The leaders on my team enjoyed the experience so much, I subsequently brought Galen in again to allow my entire organization to share in Galen’s insights and energy. This session was well worth the investment. Thank you, Galen!”

CFO Worldwide Services, Microsoft

“The core of Galen’s genius is that he disguises deep work that all companies and leaders need to do as simple lessons that anyone can learn – and should learn because it will not just make them a better leader, they’ll be a better human being as well. Galen is a phenomenal force and a much-needed voice in the conversations that are going on about corp culture. Some of the work that Galen does with teams is immediately apparent in how your teams change their conversations. The bigger work and the tougher stuff becomes apparent over time – and it’s worth investing in.”

VP of Communications & Education, Albertsons Companies

“Galen’s unique approach to shifting culture is fun, simple, and extremely high impact. His ability to get 100% of the room quickly engaged, relaxed, and leaning into the experience makes him truly one of a kind. My team walked away immediately changing their approach to how they operate as one team, stay positive, get more engaged, and find paths to yes. I’ve never left a training session where I’ve heard so much positive and immediate impact made in such a short period of time. We are better today than we were yesterday as a result of our experience with Galen.”

VP of Sales & Service, North America, Expedia

“We have engaged with Galen and Shift Yes twice over the past year. At both sessions, Galen brought a level of excitement and enthusiasm that was contagious. We had a large group (over 100 people) for one of the sessions and he was able to get everybody involved and excited about shifting from a standard “no” response to saying “Yes, And,” as well as being more mindful about how their actions affect others. Since the sessions, I continue to hear positive feedback about Galen and I witness a changed attitude in our employees. Who would have thought a two hour session could make such a difference!”

Associate Vice President & CIO, Portland State University

“Galen kicked off our Annual Bank Management Retreat with our entire team of officers. The change in how our people interacted with one another after working with Galen was unbelievable. Our whole team was leaning in, saying yes, being positive, collaborative, and fully engaged while tackling a number of important strategic initiatives. The success of our management retreat was increased tenfold because of Galen’s work, and our managers absolutely loved it! Thanks a million for your help, and the effect you’ve had on our team.”

Executive Vice President, Bank of the Pacific

“Thank you so much for the amazing session. Everyone was engaged and asking questions in a way that can be rare on video calls lately-it was very impressive! Thanks again, I truly appreciate all of your time and hard work on this session, and it paid off!”

Chase Farrington, Training Coordinator, California Park & Recreation Society
