 "What
The Next Level creates with their experiences translates
brilliantly into our challenges in daily life. Their activities,
challenges, their masterfully executed exercises all point
to learning that we can apply in personal and professional
contexts. They create a safe, stimulating and entirely
elegant process for people to learn about themselves, about
others and the world. Their processes and facilitation
of these processes evoke transformation. To me, nothing
was more powerful than realizing that it is me and my internal
limiting beliefs about myself and others that holds me
back - not the height of the ladder, not the width of the
rungs. In one activity, they bust a lifelong belief and
free us to create from possibility. In a day, they provoke
new and unforgettable perspectives about what it is to
be alive and playing full out with our bodies and hearts."

"I have had the great experience of knowing Tom Courry of The Next Level over
the last two years, first as a participant in the Co-Active leadership program
and then as a colleague. Tom's talents as an instructor, designer and leader
helped transformed many lives personally and professionally, myself included.
He creates a learning environment that challenges one to reach heights you do
not think possible and then to go beyond. Tom is developing such exciting programs
I envy those who will experience his magic for the first time. It's like reading
the novel you can not put down."

"I would recommend The Next Level experiences to anyone who wants to leave
something behind and move forward more powerfully. The Next Level's team creates
a safe and loving place for taking risks, for asking for help, and for using
your mind, body and spirit to discover your own courage and connection to other
humans and nature.Well worth the "not knowing" what is next!"

My testimonial - with gratitude: "Hanging by the seat of
my bosses pants, and pulling myself up to balance upon
a high wire, transformed our relationship. Time and again
since, as the success of our internal corporate project
seemed to approach impossible, we've been able to galvanize
our courage often referring to this moment; by knowing
and appreciating our capacity, we've proceeded in a chaotic
environment with a great deal of success. Looking back,
in all likelihood I would have given up on him, and he
upon me, without the relationship that we grounded in friendship
and trust while 40 feet up in the air. To "approach the
impossible" and succeed is a great feeling; yet to honestly
experience that "you and me together can do this!" is an
attitude that will continually come to bear individually
and as a team, on our hopes for greatness. The staff at
The Next Level not only hold out the hope, but have helped
us realize it..."

 "I
have always been skeptical about the effect that "ropes
courses" could have on my life and my leadership.
But, I have to admit that The Next Level literally took
me to new heights in my life and work. I learned how thrill
and fear is so closely related in my life and that I'm
not fully alive unless I'm still feeling some fear and
moving through it. The Next Level's programs are challenging,
supportive, and provide a safety net while still setting
the standards high. I forged relationships with a team
I'll never forget and saw new possibilities for myself
as a leader!"
Laura J. Moore, PCC, M.B.A
"The Next Level staff held a sacred space for us out there in the woods. Not
only did I know I was in safe hands, but the intention that we would learn and
succeed was so present. I had the feeling that somehow, this ropes course was
a prerequisite to move on to the next life, and that the staff at The Next Level
were some of the angels accompanying us on our journey."

"I've participated in many of The Next Level's courses. The staff at The
Next Level have constantly provided us with the physical and emotional safety
we needed to bust up our limited thought patterns. One event in particular effects
me on a daily basis. I was shaking from fear and asked my staff person if it
was going to be scary. She told me the truth and then had me see the event from
another perspective. As a coach, I use this info with my clients daily. I know
now that any fear I experience when doing new things will only last for a moment
and then I can be swept away in the adventure of the journey. I also learned
that I could be scared and still be a powerful leader. This gives me the freedom
to relax when I'm facilitating groups and let more of who I am authentically
show up in the room!"

"When I heard we were going to complete a high ropes course as a part of
our Leadership training I tried to put it out of my mind it was so scary. When
we arrived at the site I felt this sort of surreal experience of the environment.
I was hyperaware of my surroundings and of the pounding of my heart almost as
though my insides and the environment were blending together. I learned so much
about stepping up to a challenge that day and I learned in my body so I won't
one day forget it. When I leapt from the swing with the encouragement of my group,
I left behind the fear that I wasn't good enough. From that moment forward, I
claim my magnificence. It was a defining moment in my life. A moment that allows
my heart to speak so the world will hear. Thank you for your strength to call
us forth!"

"My experience with The Next Level enriching for me; at a personal level I learned
many new things about myself, about who I am and about my possibilities as an
individual; I truly thank the staff at The Next Level for the growth opportunity
they provided for me, not only because of the way the experiences was structured,
but because of their loving commitment to the growth of us as participants. "
