"Leading a team in the healthcare industry means adapting to constant change, stressful work environments and having to do a great deal with very little. I have twice, with two different organizations, reached out to Outward Bound to help our teams work better together, be stronger leaders and brighter citizens of our community. And it worked. Both times. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a bold and unique teambuilding program to work with Outward Bound Professional. I look forward to hiring them a third time."
