Testimonials

Bryan Marks, Area Director, The Rose Group (Applebee's) - "Within our company, we run 9 different territories with 9 territory heads. It is a competitive group due to the fact that our goal each and every day is to out perform not only our competitors but also each other due to our hardened competitive nature. Upward Enterprises worked with our group to break down those competitive walls and forced us to coach ourselves to work together. We notice from the first group activity, our problem was our pride. Bu the end of the day we were laughing and team building throughout our group and to this day, we continue to use each other for support, strengthening our entire company. Our company results are better than ever!"

Tony and Becky Robbins, The Anthony Robbins Company - "Your professionalism and creativity are so appreciated; your efforts helped us produce a great program that stretched our team physically, emotionally and spiritually. We were also impressed by the high caliber of the facilitators who led with attention, energy, and gentle strength."

Brian Naegeli, The Montgomery Conservation Corps - "We found the entire experience greatly rewarding. The trust falls and other team exercises instilled an awareness in us of the dynamics of a team situation, which is vital to an organization such as the Corps. The ropes course allowed us to explore our individual strengths and weaknesses. So we can now more actively confront our own unique problems and rely upon our strengths with more confidence. We also had a lot of fun doing all this!"

Denese Lombardi, The Foundation School - "Thanks so much for a great day with Upward Enterprises! Our students and staff had a very good first experience and we look forward to another opportunity to work on the Challenge Course!"

James Gray, NASD - "All of you did a wonderful job and your enthusiasm made the afternoon all that more enjoyable."

Todd Jewell, Green Acres Summer Day Camp - "I want to say thanks again for providing our group with a well-run and challenging outing. The kids who have been on other ropes courses made comparisons of their experience and all agreed this was the best time they'd had yet.

A large part of the better experiences have had to do with the leadership of the instructors. What I feel was particularly effect in our outing with Upward Enterprises was how well the staff made themselves part of our group. Through doing all this, trust was a natural outcome. The way you pulled the group close together and talked to them in a low voice, rather than addressing the group from a distance and talking at them invariably helped create a "group" consciousness that I believe was felt by all."

Richard James, Troop 241 - "I just wanted to write and tell you what a great time we had at your ropes course in November…Your professionalism, calm demeanor and personal attention were a key to the success of this outing."

Charter Behavioral Services - "Thank you for a wonderful, fun-filled day! We were very pleased with our trip and all of the smiles it generated. Your professional skills and kind words really made us feel safe!"
