  • Thanks for breaking the ice

    Dear Jack, thanks for breaking the ice. I enjoyed myself with the families we worked with. Thank you for your learning experience to share with us to be the best we can possibly be. To be open is hard but you made that easy for us. God bless you and your family.

    What an awesome experience. You certainly have a talent for dealing with people and developing rapport in such a short period of time. Many of the students expressed how much closer that they felt to one another as a result of your workshop. It was truly a blessing to have you.

    My expectations for the day were that it could get the majority of people emotional which would most likely get me emotional too. Personally I think the most important message you guys were trying to get across was that people have problems in their lives and when you tease them it doesn’t make ...

  • Great for boys to be allowed to cry

    There should be more things like this & uplifting things for schools on a regular basis. Great for boys to be allowed to cry. They’re always expected to be tough. (original message)

  • I enjoyed the experience

    I enjoyed the experience. This is the first time I attend to a workshop of this nature, and with my daughter! Thank you, Jack. It was a lot of valuable information to absorb in one day. I hope to remember them all or the most important: listening to my daughter.

    I would just like to tell you how thankful I am that you guys came here today! You both are brilliant guys and have taught me so much over such a short period of time. I think I’ve learned some of the most important values of life today. This program has opened my ...

    Aaron age 15, grade 10

    Thank you so much. I have felt so alone and unwanted. It’s so hard for me to find that one person that I can talk to. The last couple days me and my mom have been butting heads. She took her anger out on me and hit me. This made me feel so ...

  • It wasn’t boring at all

    Hi Jack, I really enjoyed this leadership workshop! It wasn’t boring at all :). The “Cross the line” game made me realize that we’re NEVER ALONE! People will always be there and I know I’ll be there too. I’m going to be my normal self: outgoing, humorous and loving & I promise to ...

  • It made me realize what I needed to do

    Dear Jack, I wasn’t here for the whole day, but from when I came to the end of day the activities that I did were very helpful. The last game we played, cross the line, was very “intense” because the questions weren’t simple questions, they really made you think and express what you ...

  • I learned to be a better listener and a better leader

    Dear Jack, Thank you for today. I enjoyed it. I learned to be a better listener and a better leader. At the beginning of the workshop, I thought I’d feel left out. I saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces. I expected today to run more different than it did, but it was interesting. ...
