Aramark

"As you know this was the first time this entire management team got together and it was truly incredible! I am a big person in believing that there is a triple bottom line (people, profit, and planet) and this kind of activity hits each manager on multiple levels which we sometimes skip because we are so busy or we don't want to spend additional resources."

Teledyne Isco

"The sales force came back pumped up and had a great time. They expressed that this was a very good activity to have at a sales meeting. Much had to do with your program and the activities we did, but it also had to do with the mix of our group and how they know and trust the others. The roles and communication model was great for our group to see the different personalities at work and what happens with "too many cooks in the kitchen." It was also good to have a 3rd party point out some of this to us. Overall, everyone loved it and we got to have some fun!!"

"As for Fusion Associates. I highly recommend them. We used them on two occasions for a team building workshop. Specifically around understanding and developing better leaders and fostering better teams. Peter is very strategic in understanding and coordinating a program that can meet your needs.

We have plans to bring them back towards the end of the summer for another workshop."

In the words of my CEO in his closing presentation, "Roy was a tremendous asset to our event.

PRIDE Youth Development Agency

"Thank you for an excellent program with our staff and student leaders. PRIDE is an after-school program working with Title I schools in Central Brooklyn. Activities that promote integrity, communication, trust and teamwork are high on our agenda. The program you facilitated for us helped advance that agenda. In particular, during the design phase, I felt "heard." I made a request that the facilitator emphasize the debrief and applications portions of the day, and he did so. It's always empowering when a vendor makes room for your needs and acts on them! Thank you for a good day. We'll turn to you again.

Explorer Post 201, Clarkstown, NY

"Thank you so much for everything you did last Saturday. Our Explorer Post truly enjoyed every second of our bonding experience and will certainly become a much stronger post thanks to your expertise and assistance. The entire day was perfect, and our post was able to get to know each other a little better. In addition, the skills that you taught us will enable us to grow and mature as individuals, not just as a group. Our experience has truly strengthened our ability to embody the four characteristics that our post finds most important: teamwork, leadership, communication, and community service. For that, we are very grateful.

"Our latest event with Fusion Associates was a big success, despite the rain. The rain added an edge of challenge and adventure to the proceedings. Everyone had a great attitude about having to find shelter in the ratty old tennis building. We accomplished our primary objective: The two teams met under unusual and structured circumstances, accomplished some things together, had a good time, recognized the humanity in the other group, recognized that "they" are a lot like "us" and made business contacts that will be important to them in the near term future."

"Program was fun and a good bonding exercise for the team.
- I thought it was great – it combined lots of different skills which helped us find strengths (and weaknesses) for everyone, which I think really brought us together as a team.
- The program was very interesting - it gave us an opportunity to work as a team and bring forth different qualities from each person.
- Compared to last year this was hands down the best in my opinion, it really had everyone's attention no matter how tired everyone was.
- Combining the teams for the one event was good. The exercises helped to point out people’s strengths and weaknesses and helped me learn my own.
- Good fun. Showed how planning, assigning roles, communication and ongoing evaluation are important.
- I thought this program was unique and quite different than those that I have participated in previously.
- Well organized, friendly, fun, and challenging – everything you’d want from team building.
- Thought the team building exercise was excellent. Promoted good team spirit and helped me understand how teams work."

- Working with Fusion Associates reinforced my belief that efficient and prompt customer service is still present in this world. So, thank you again, for following through and remaining consistent throughout the whole process.
- We decided to purchase from Fusion Associates as you came highly recommended by Dolce Norwalk Conference Center. The pricing was reasonable and the activity was specifically tailored to our team. Great company!
- Rick was described as efficient, engaging and charismatic; a great asset for a facilitator!"

United Technologies Corporation
