“Joel, you were awesome! From your advance fact-finding to your "Solve It Now!" workshop, I can report first hand: This program really works. Of the three ongoing issues we tackled, we solved them all - just like you promised. As a facilitator, you were entertaining and encouraging. But best of all, you led us to solve our problems ourselves, creating maximum buy-in for everyone in the room.”
Kathie Nirschl,
Director of Human Resources, Aquarium of the Pacific
“You posed some tough questions we've all been struggling with, then helped us see how we could break out of the mold and do things differently. Everyone on the team has a new perspective on some important issues that directly affect our bottom line. Plan on coming back for follow-up sessions.”
Felicia Ricardo,
Director of Marketing, Small World Toys
