TESTIMONIALS

"For the third year in a row, Stuart Wachs and Impact Group have led the Arizona Veterans Medical Leadership Council (VMLC) through our strategic planning process — and the results speak for themselves.

Since engaging Stuart, our revenue has doubled over the past couple of years and is projected to triple from our original baseline this year. More importantly, our leadership team now operates with a clear understanding of priorities and objectives. We are more aligned, more disciplined, and more focused than at any point in our organization’s history.

​

Stuart has a unique ability to challenge assumptions, create clarity from complexity, and guide productive, sometimes difficult, conversations that ultimately strengthen the organization. He doesn’t just facilitate a meeting; he builds alignment and accountability that lasts well beyond the session.

In the end, the real beneficiaries of this work are the Veterans we serve — those at risk of losing their job, their transportation, or their home. By strengthening our strategy and execution, Impact Group is helping us “Stop the Spiral” that can lead to Veteran suicide.

We are grateful for the partnership and highly recommend Stuart and Impact Group to any organization serious about growth, clarity, and measurable impact.”

President
Veterans Medical Leadership Council (VMLC)

"Growth is never easy, it is often painful. Even more so when you don’t have someone much wiser and more experienced to help you through it.

I have been working with Stuart for many months now and I become a better executive and a better person with each meeting I have. There are subtle coaching moments that help me see things with a new perspective and other not-so-subtle moments when transformative moments are needed. I can’t speak highly enough of Stuart and of his transformative impact he can have on others.” ​

-Vice President Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance

"As CEO, I have often felt overwhelmed with having to make decisions alone.  Running a nonprofit organization I have learned to be frugal in what resources, tools or other services I bring to the table.  Stuart has not only become a trusted thought partner, but the relationship has become invaluable.  He brings perspective, accountability and encouragement that gets me out of the weeds and into the role of visionary leader.  I’ve grown not just as an executive, but as a person and that growth is positively impacting the organization and my team.  Thank you Stuart!” ​

-CEO

"The strategic planning session with Impact Group provided a valuable opportunity for our team to come together, step back from the day-to-day, and think more intentionally about our direction. It sparked important conversations and helped us align around shared priorities — something we don’t often get the time to do.” ​

​

-CEO

"Excellently facilitated and executed. I thought we had a decent team dynamic and alignment before, but we clearly had gaps. The whole kickoff process for Full Growth Services really got us on the same page, and I could feel it. We didn't just develop Any vision and plan, we developed OUR vision, plan, and execution strategy. Stuart was an awesome mentor and guide.” ​

-GM Operations - Drake

"As a person who has worked in academia for decades, I have attended many workshops and retreats aimed at building teams, defining visions, and setting goals. Most of those experiences left me feeling like my time was wasted. I walked away feeling more confused about where our organization was headed. Stuart Wachs and Impact Group provided a completely different experience. I was engaged throughout the full day event. Every minute was spent learning and discovering in functional, meaningful ways. I left knowing my role, my actionable items, and with a clear focus for our Board's future. I left feeling energized and excited about where we are and where we are heading. If all corporate retreats provided meaning and clarity the way Stuart Wachs at Impact Group does, we would all be much further ahead.” ​
