The team buliding exercises taught me a lot and highlighted points that will be easy to remember. I also appreciate how much of yourself you gave over the course of the program. Relating things directly to yourself and opening up about yourself made you very approachable to everyone and, I believe made it easier for us to open up. You have developed something truly remarkable in Team Top Gun" -- Jarol Currier, Director, Visual Communications, Mary Kay, Inc.
