“All of us in the TeamOne village keep making references to using the right brain, listening to the pulse, and keeping the beat. I know you generally give these team building sessions for larger companies, but I feel it works extremely well for smaller companies too. It gives everyone a real meaning of how to work with cooperation.”
—Kirk Norlin, Director, Corporate Communications
Center For Professional Development
“I was particularly thankful for your flexibility of being able to take a brief overview from me of what I was trying to accomplish for the entire course, as well as daily objectives, and select most appropriate movement and musical activities.... You demonstrate ‘community’ through your behavior and I found it very easy to work with you. In fact, I felt like I had a colleague on stage with me.”
—Charlotte C. Bretto, M.S., President
Apple Computer
“We have created an organization with representatives from throughout our 300 person organization for the purpose of improving the way we do our business. We have named this group ‘The Village Counsel’ in recognition of the values we experienced in your event.”
—Steve Clark, Apple Quality Group
Canada National Defense
“The success of your village concept was astounding. I could not believe my eyes as I saw around me a group of people who, one week ago, had not seen the need to form a team, gradually transform itself into a village....
We are still on a high and this is a very different and pleasant feeling for all of us. You have shown us that together we can withstand anything, surmount any challenge and discover in ourselves people we really like. You have touched our souls.”
—Micheline Clairoux, Director, Facilities Management
