Corporate Team Building Testimonials

The success of OTI and its students continues to fully represent your vision of developing counselors professionally, personally and socially. There continues to be such a spirit, “the magic” at OTI, and the great thing is that it is replicated cycle after cycle. The graduation really brings it forward as we see the pride and accomplishment of our students and the pride experienced by their families (and with us as their teachers and advisers). I just wanted to congratulate you on the success of OTI and its impact.

You are the closest I’ve known to a magnetic counterpart. To me your field is foreign, and frequently, depending on my direction, one that might forcefully repel me. Yet when I’m turned in a complementary direction, it’s as though the polar fields join. It’s an impossible revelation, a revolution. You guide me to reinvention. I read that the British army band played at their surrender at Yorktown a song titled “The World Turned Upside-Down.” Shortly thereafter, the British conquered, for better or worse, the known world.

Mark was a great administrator at the Outreach Training for counselors for substance abuse. He inspired so many people in this program because of the special way that he connected with people. This program was one of the best run training programs that I have experienced and I am sure that the knowledge and personal attributes that made this program top notch also make Mark a great counselor. Many people told about how the program had changed their lives and I am sure he is continuing to help people change their lives as a counselor.

I am a student at Outreach Training Institute and Mark has been an instructor/lecturer a few times during my tenure there.

I've had the privilege of knowing and working with Mark for more than five years. Mark interviewed me for my position at Outreach, and from that very first day I met Mark, I knew he was exceptional in terms of his warmth, intellect, intuitiveness and dedication to helping people. My interview was truly enlightening! I’d also heard from colleagues prior to coming to Outreach that Mark was well-known and respected in our field.

When I was hired as Fort Lauderdale’s City Manager five years ago, I reached out for Mark’s help in rebuilding the City’s management team so we could better address a government in organizational meltdown.
