Dear Jack, This was a very emotional experience and I learned a lot. I learned to trust, to accept and to forgive others. Hopefully I keep these lessons with me for the rest of my life. This was a truly unique experience and I hope I will be able to do this again. ...

This was a very interesting and nothing like I expected. It really helped us bond and I feel closer to everyone now. Walk the line was very touching and it showed how people really felt. People who were shut tight opened up and showed their emotions. I’m glad to have had the chance ...

I want to thank you for a wonderful experience. The environment that you created made everyone feel safe & that we could be honest about ourselves & our feelings. I really do believe that together we have made a difference in many lives today. I truly thank you both for what you are ...

I really appreciate you coming to G.L. an letting us share our feelings. In November I did the program and it’ll never get old to me. I wouldn’t mind doing this 100 more times. I hope grade 9’s or even every grade from grade 6 & higher can get this chance. I can ...

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 ...

I am so glad that you guys came here today. I am not a very open person when it comes to talking about my life but today really helped and really showed me how many people feel the same way as me. You guys are an inspiration on so many people’s lives and ...

Thank you for your commitment to this Quest you’re on! Bit by bit, I believe we can change the world and enrich our children’s lives with love, challenge and purpose. God bless you both. Your parents have instilled in you love & caring for all. Thank you. (original message)

Dear Jack, This experience today has been life changing. I was unsure of what to expect coming into this, but I have left with a complete new mindset. Today you taught me things that I’ve never known before. There’s a lot going on in my life and I’ve been through a lot. I ...

I enjoyed the workshop. It really opened my eyes on things that I took for granted. Thank for the experience. You bring new life to me and my family. I really appreciate you know your job. Again, I really appreciate it.

Well this is second time coming to Quest I’m On and all I can say is you got me again! You guys are probably the best speakers I have ever heard and you just inspire me so much to grow and do something like this when I’m older. The hardest parts of today ...

Dear Jack, First off, thank you for taking your time to come here and do this workshop with us. It gave me an experience to go out and find difficulties I need to improve on when approaching new things in life (communicating with strangers, etc.). I really admire how you’re such an easy-going ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this experience, it really opened my eyes to so many things I experienced and learned today. You showed us how to work together and put us in groups so we can co-operate with each other, for us to be a leader, to be respectful and get to know ...

Everything I learned today will be very useful. I can help other people with problems and going through hard times. My promise is to help students feel more comfortable. (original message)

Leader’s Quest Program

Dear Jack, What I most enjoyed about this workshop is how you picked random people in our class for group leaders. By doing this, it allowed me to communicate better with my peers. Since I was in a group with random people, I was forced to talk and this helped build my communication ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for the workshop you did for us today. This workshop has helped me and I’ve learned many things of becoming a leader. Especially some of the activities you have done made me realize what people are going through in their life. Overall I’m glad I’ve experienced this workshop and ...

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.

I wanted to let you know how powerful an experience the “Quest I’m On” day was for the students of Roberts and for me personally. I was impressed with how well the day was structured and how each activity progressed developing a “sense to safety and sensitivity” within the participants. It was hard ...

I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...

Just wanted to thank you for being part of our special event last Friday. The energy was outstanding. I hope you were able to see some of the positivity and talent that went on in the auditorium. It was like having a leadership mosh pit 🙂
