My comments on this
session overall:
Fun & very challenging great
team building.
Good. You were right it was frustrating not knowing
what to do but in the end, that was the biggest thing I took away from
today. Learning what it takes to
complete a task like that.
It was a very positive experience
for myself and the entire team. The future looks bright. I feel that we can overcome challenges in the
future.
Really made you have to think and
realize all the work, time, creativity and committees that are involved in a
company. So much goes into one simple
product that you see why everyone must work together to be successful.
I had a great day and bonded with my
team.
I think it was very well planned
out, and gave this company an opportunity to challenge ourselves and still have
fun doing it.
It was a fun team building exercise.
Awesome!
Thank you for your service this
was different than any other retreat.
Definitely more rewarding to our company.
I always tell my friends that I work
with a bright, dynamic group that has the potential to do amazing things
regardless of their environment. *Today
really drove that point home for me.
The staff did an amazing job!
I wanted to be on The Apprentice
since the first episode. This was
perfect!
We are a stronger and smarter team
because of the experience. It is
inspiring to see the company moving in this direction.
It brought out strengths that
everyone on our team contributed what they excel in. It brought us closer as a group and we
learned from one another how to be successful and accomplish a goal together.
Brought the region together as a
team great morale building. Our region
(new) was able to see strengths and weaknesses outside our norms.
Had a great time really getting to
know my region and making great relationships.
I had a great time. It was neat to see how every team came
together and came up with something great.
I felt like I was in camp as a kid again and that is one thing from my
childhood that I always enjoyed.
I was glad I got to participate in
this event. It really made our region a
team and developed great working relationships.
Great time. Thanks for the bonds that I made.
Great time - learned about many
different aspects of introducing a new product.

Fun, challenging and created a great

It made everyone work together and
like many said, identify each persons strengths so we
could contribute with that portion of the product.
It was great.

Very amazing experience. I learned a lot.
The ambiguity definitely aided in
