Praise for the Resilient Leadership Bootcamp

"The information is fantastic and wicked timely, it couldn't have come at a better moment. It's a great topic and I'm going to recommend it to more of our staff.”

- Tom Butler, VP of Skier Services, Sugarloaf Resort, Maine

“I did not know what to expect when I started this course - to be honest I was busy and not sure I had the time - but I made the time, and was hooked. Whether you are new to the ski industry, or have been working at an area or for the ski industry for 50 years, this was a great course and reminder of what we each can accomplish.”

- Mary Bozack, MountainGuard

"The course was extremely helpful and provided insight on how I process my thoughts, emotions and decision making. It gave me hope for myself, knowing others are experiencing these same processes inside themselves. Thank you very much for putting this all together. I feel stronger and more resilient than I realized prior to taking the course. Keep up the great work.”

- Andrew Lanoue, Interactive Marketing Coordinator, Jay Peak Resort, Vt.

“The flexibility of this course was the best part about it, it was so easy to fit modules into the little bits of downtime throughout the day”

- Rylee Meyer, lift Ops Manager, Red River Ski Area, N.M.

"For me, listening to the stories and experiences of the speakers were the most helpful. The practical examples they shared resonated with me well. Overall, a great course!”

- Marshall Clark, Manager, Smugglers Notch, Vt.

“I really enjoyed the course! The topics covered are so relatable to the COVID times we are all dealing with but will also benefit participants outside of these times given all the uncertainties we face in the ski industry on a daily basis.”

- Stephen Remiliard, Mammoth Mountain, Calif.

"The tone of this [course] connects so strongly to what we’ve experienced through our tough times at Jay… That relationship building, empathy, respect, supporting each other, problem solving, etc.. aren’t borne inside a crisis, but they can be forged there and make you better prepared for the next crisis.”

- Steve Wright, General Manager, Jay Peak Resort, Vt.

“Fantastic course and fantastic material! This is exactly what I needed heading into this unprecedented winter.”

- Tom Royther, Marketing Manager, Ober Gatlinburg, Tenn.
