Here is what they have to say...

"Our staff enjoyed the mix of fun and serious business messages and left the session having had a positive shared experience that has been helpful moving our organization forward this year. "
- Mary Hoekstra, General Manager, VP Finance, AMEC

"Since our day with Critical Pathfinders, the Adventure Playday games have become reference points in our discussions of how we could improve our group. As the person who took the risk on allocating budget to this event, I feel very well rewarded with the outcome."
- Doug Halverson, Director, Land & Community Affairs, Westcoast Energy

"Our objectives for the day were to have fun, get to know each other better, and to highlight the importance of teamwork and accountability. The Paddling Decathlon and afternoon games achieved these objectives."
- Shannon Beatty, Office Services Manager, Mountain Equipment Co-op

"I highly recommend Critical Pathfinders as an outside source to motivate and challenge staff"
- Linda Diskordia, Head of Peopleworks, Flight Centre

"The director's cut team building activity was excellent. It was a great way to creatively work with our co-workers and it was a good change of pace from what we normally do together. It was a lot of fun."
- Melanie Mena, Charity Village

"We had such an amazing time last year with the workshop."
- Ornell Douglas, Coordinator - Youth Tobacco Initiatives, The Lung Association

"Please accept this letter as my thanks for the outstanding work you did with our executive and senior management team, earlier this month. The communications workshops were good learning experiences for the group, and, in addition, they enjoyed the experience immensely. As I mentioned to you, this group is very business focused and it is always difficult to get them to “switch gears” in the middle of
business meetings to take an active part in a learning experience. You had no difficulty
engaging them."
- Marjorie Calibaba, Director of Human Resources, The Oppenheimer Group

"With enhancing leadership, communication, team building and taking responsibility for one's actions as our day's objectives all the workshops were well-suited to engage discussion that related back to our working relationships. As a new group that has experienced much change it was a valuable exercise that promoted teamwork through full communication."
- Sean Lanigan, Area Manager, Molson Brewery

"The series of challenges created for ISA were expertly facilitated and provided us
with a unique understanding of areas of opportunity for professional growth and operational effectiveness."
- Stephen Reid, Managing Director, Insight Strategy Advisors

"I am a manager and will be able to implement these concepts with my staff."
- Participant, The Body Shop Canada
