What Advisors Say

"Jason has been a three-time guest facilitator for our fall leadership retreat. He is extremely flexible and easy to work with from start to finish. He leaves our student leaders feeling empowered and confident and the student evaluations of Jason have consistently been among the highest rated. I look forward to working with him again next year."

— D.M., Director of Student Life, Lone Star College, Texas

"The reviews from the retreat this year were the best I have got back in the 3 years I have been doing this. The students really enjoyed everything you did. A lot of feedback about the Band Model, the ability to get up and move around, and how many people they actually got to meet and form relationships."

— B.S., Specialist, Student Organization and Leadership, Fox Valley Technical College, Wisconsin

"We had about 350 students attending our student leadership conference this year and through his interaction he was able to get them excited and really get them out of their shell. It really helped set the tone for the whole conference. If you want to get your attendees engaged and involved, Jason and his team-builders are a perfect way to do that."

— A.N., Director of Student Involvement & Leadership, Weber State University, Utah
