What People Are Saying
My team was fully engaged mainly because Riff knows how to create a comfortable, playful and fun environment. Feedback from the group was very positive, one said it was a great way to connect with people that they don't normally don't get to spend time with. Others said they just had so much of fun.

Jeff and Emily led a customized team building exercise that allowed us to be creative and build on each other’s ideas, and ultimately reminded us of the importance of listening and staying present. We found our time with them invaluable and a great use of our team’s time.”
— Joyce, HR Business Partner
The workshop was put together so carefully. Our team members have varying strengths & it felt like everything that Riff put together presented everyone with a challenge in a fun and enlightening way.
We have noticed such an improvement and a refreshing energy in our team since the workshop. they are slowing down to take a breath before their next move which in turn enhances the quality of their work.

My favorite thing about Jeffrey's coaching style is how he seamlessly bridges the gap between theoretical and actionable. I was able to implement his teachings immediately. Jeffrey's a great guy who never misses a beat and could probably hold court for hours in any setting. Highly recommended!
