I can be a bit cynical when it comes to a stranger knowing what’s best for a team. Between that, and the fact that this was slated to be a social event, made me unsure of how it was going to go.

Rich knocked it out of the park. We had about 40 attendees and I think he knew us all by name by the end. He had us rooting for each other and working together in ways we’ve never been challenged.

Our leadership has been buzzing with energy and taking a more proactive, forward thinking approach to our day-to-day. It seems our few hours with Rich may have been a shakeup we needed.

Looking forward to future events. I’d encourage any organization to get to know this company. “
