Participant Comments
 
"After completing this session, I feel more likely to help my co-workers explore further any wild ideas with encouragement. Exercising the extraverted side is important and uncomfortable but, it will make us better. In regards to my approach to customers, I am more confident that I can engage them with my story. The cooperative exercises helped for client meetings when we have little time to prepare. This session was like salting your mind with pepper!"
Peter Nicholson, Chief Creative Officer

"The most important takeaway was the feeling of empowerment we got -- the value of our personal and professional message and the right to share it. I will respect my co-worker's voices more, for sure, and encourage them to share their point of view. I will make sure people are heard."
Jennifer Landers, Reputation Director

"Now I'll try to bring more energy and general interest in people, aside from the day to day business. I'll also try and get more prepped and pepped before big meetings, create more of a game plan for roles. Just the right amount of improv and life skills to be less afraid of making a fool out of yourself. I would like to see more of these session as it's important for us to remember we are all people trying to get along, and this was a humanizing experience that I find can quickly get forgotten."
Gina Reimann, Senior Product Designer

"I thought our session together was great. Like most people I had a few pre-conceived notions about what was going to be discussed/happen. I thought the session was very well organized and I realized a lot of things along the way that I don't think were necessarily about my work life, but for me the messages/lessons translated into one another perfectly. The session reminded me to shake it up."
Jason Punches/Designer

"This session showed me I can mix things up, interact more with my co-workers and be more direct with clients. It was good to take a step back and re-assess - regardless of past and/or current successes."

"There is more to life than work - even in work settings. We forget how powerful the simplest elements of communicating can be - especially for ourselves and also how to take responsibility for our own thoughts and actions - and make sure you communicate and continue to communicate until they receive your message. As this relates to my co-workers, I have to own my thoughts, successes and failures and with customers share my energy and myself."
