Leadership Breakthrough Training, level I, class 523, June 14, 1998
This is without a doubt the best training/seminar course I have ever attended.  
If you have any doubt call me and I will bend your ear for an hour or so about how great it was.  "This is one of the hardest and best things I have ever done."
 
Power Communications Training, class 373, June 20, 1999
If you deal with people everyday and negotiate anything, this class is a must! We all negotiate everyday and we loose even to our kids most of the time, this will give you an unfair advantage in dealing with people and creating win-win situations.
 

Leadership Breakthrough Training, level II, class 170, April 16, 2000
This class was attended by six of our office staff and the bonding that went on was incredible. This training will keep us working as a true team, not just saying the words as most companies do. I highly recommend this to any organization and personally guarantee you will see some incredible results.

"On Team" for Power Communications Training, class 404, June 28, 2000
This gave me a whole new perspective of the training and I learned a lot. There is so much to absorb in one weekend, I highly recommend going back on team for any class.

Rapport was the challenge of a lifetime.  The extra punch everyone needs.   An eye opener to the most important things in life and an experience I will always cherish."

The cute gal there to the right is Denny's daughter, Lindsey. "I am very proud of my daughter, Lindsey. She has completed Teen Leadership breakthrough, and I can see the difference in her responsibility and dedication to whatever wall is standing in her way. There is no doubt in my mind whether or not she is a leader."

Power Communications Training, March 23, 2001

"Teen Leadership Breakthrough, was definitely fun, yet one of the hardest weekends of my life! Not many teens my age get the chance to attend Rapport Leadership, and I was, which was definitely an opportunity of a lifetime. The things I learned at Rapport Leadership have helped me out in ways such as getting good grades in school, picking the right crowd to hang out with, to becoming a lot closer to my family! Teen leadership breakthrough was a weekend that I will remember and cherish forever!"

"Rapport was a challenge I will cherish for a lifetime. It taught me how to communicate, speak up and be heard and that my opinion does count. It helped me crawl out of that shell I was hiding in all my life. I truly recommend this class to everyone. Thank you Rodney for giving me the opportunity to attend this awesome class."

Leadership Breakthrough Training, level I :

Before becoming a member of a team, one must look inside and make personal improvements. There are individual barriers that must be removed and walls that must be torn down. The processes associated with this training are truly representative of a " leadership breakthrough." If you're afraid of who you are, stay home. If you want to improve your life, and life is more than simple existence, this training is a must. Remember, the most important part of your tombstone will be the dash.

Leadership Breakthrough Training, level II, class 170, April 16, 2000
This training is about team building. It represents, through symbolic exercises, that certain individual accomplishments are achievable only with assistance. It instills that being trusting is as important as being trustworthy. Professionals are constantly using the buzzwords "synergy" and "brainstorming." Leader II is the place to learn the true meanings of the words.
