Our Total Recall team-building program was very organized. The communication needed to complete the activity was a great team builder, but the competition was definitely the most fun. Your lead facilitator was excellent and as far as our group enjoying the program as a whole, we give it a 10 out of 10!

The program was awesome! The facilitator did a very effective job of engaging our employees, challenging their listening and cognitive skills, working together skills, and leadership skills. Our technicians and supervisors were eager to try each new challenge. We got lots of great feedback and appreciation from those that attended (no negative feedback at all).

Our group loved their Igniting Team Performance Event. All the participants were engaged. The best teambuilding aspect of the program was the card sorting challenge and the most fun was the zoom activity. The program was very well organized. Your lead facilitator was energetic and engaging and provided tasks to our group that could be easily linked to our job responsibilities.

How did I feel our group as a whole enjoyed the activity? They LOVED it! And they enjoyed the gaming part. Our Virtual Competition to Collaboration program was very organized, and Roy and Ryan were awesome, we had quite a few compliments on the program!
Susan,

Our group as a whole enjoyed the training quite a bit. It was very organized and the most fun was during the breakouts and the interactivity of the session in general. We are looking forward to diving deeper into the content, that will come with subsequent sessions with our trainer, Steve. We rated Steve a 5 out of 5 for his presentation!

I have to give a presentation to our vice president on Wednesday and after having participated in your Virtual Presentation Tune-Up program, I feel so much more confident going into the presentation. Thanks so much for everything today!

Our group enjoyed this event! It provided a good overview and refresher of the basics. We most enjoyed the whiteboarding portion of the session, which the team found fun. Everyone bonded well while reflecting on different styles for dealing with change.
Adam,
Celeros Flows Technology
We enjoyed getting to know each other through this activity. Spending time together was the most fun, and getting to know each other in a structured event not directly attached to work. Paul was great at keeping us all engaged, got to know and used all our names, and empowered each team member to participate.
Melanie,
Feonix – Mobility Rising
Your Presentation Skills program was a wonderful addition to this year’s retreat. The facilitator did a fantastic job engaging the team, and wrapping up everything they learned into coherent and useful follow up tips and check lists. Many of our people continue to draw from your lessons, which shows just how effective they are. We were glad to have you participate in our retreat, and look forward to working with you again!

After the last training session I asked your trainer if he would do a debrief and brainstorming session with the shift leaders. He did, and it gave us some very helpful feedback. Your company is truly professional! You paid close attention to the functioning of each group and the verbalization of comments and questions, usually lead the team members to think harder and out of the box.
