Client Reviews
“Power Lab was the best training and development activity I have attended in my professional career. Through the experience I have changed my behavior in the way that I examine others, above and below me, and can better understand how to work with them. It provides a framework for cooperation and empathy that “frees” me to do my best work. It has reinforced that the possibilities are truly broad, regardless of what status you are in.”
Kostas Mallios
Director, Venture Integration, Microsoft Corp.
"The whole Lab experience has been excellent for me and when adding in the coaching before and after the week, I consider it good value as well."
Andrew Wild, ABB Ltd.
“Besides life itself, The Power Lab succeeded completely in creating the most dynamic and potent learning environment of my long life. All else I’ve done pales in comparison. But, then, I like intense learning experiences.”
Perry Carrison, Carrison Inc.
"Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about The Power Lab and haven't acted differently as a result. Some of those different actions have resulted in better outcomes; all of them have made me feel more powerful, more intentional, more alive.
Paul Sherman, Medical Director, Group Health Cooperative
“I attended The Power Lab in 1977. I have applied your insights and behavioral training over my career and can honestly say it played a most important part of my management and leadership success.”
Richard Strathern (from an email received 11/04)
“Until I recognized my behavior and my tendency to react like a typical “Middle” in this intense experience, I never questioned the systems I live in or considered alternative behaviors. Now I am constantly evaluating systems and how I can best utilize my power to improve my experience and the overall performance of my division. This experience will stay with me for many years to come.”
Dawn Raasch, Global Product Director, Carlson Wagonlit Travel
“One does not really truly believe that there is the potential within every single human being to change anything and everything until you’ve done it or watched it happen right in front of you. The Power Lab allowed me to experience the personal challenges, difficulties, and rewards of doing just that.”
Anthony Mar, Consultant
“My learnings from the Power Lab have changed the way I consult and increased the success of my interventions.”
Richard Berryman

“The coaches at The Power Lab helped me see possibilities that I was blind to. They pushed me to take risks that I wouldn’t have taken without their support and feedback. That experience has since changed the way I lead my team back at work.”
Sabina Nawaz
Former Director of Leadership Development, Microsoft
“The coaches helped me identify quickly my leadership opportunities while providing important feedback on the impact my actions were having on people and the system, always doing this in a respectful yet challenging manner. I felt safe to take risks. It was tremendous. I felt totally supported by the coaches.”
Rick Rocchetti, Organization Consultant, City of Raleigh, NC
“After experiencing The Power Lab it has become much easier to understand why people and organizations have so much trouble communicating, but now I know HOW to overcome those problems.”
Keith Fenton, Corporate Loss Management Advisor, Syncrude Canada
“I learned more about Tops (how to coach them, how to be one) in one week than I had in 17 years in leadership development.”
Kevin Purcell, Organization Development Consultant
“The most powerful personal and professional development program I have ever attended. The experience helped me clarify who I am, what I stand for, and the choices I have before me.”
