"When I reached out to Axe & Arrow I was looking for a way to bring my newly formed team together. Our Axe & Arrow consultant met with myself, key stakeholders and all the members of the team before putting together the "teaming" off-site program.  Axe & Arrow implemented a 2-day event that allowed the team to get beyond the surface, dig into individual strengths and weaknesses, provide feedback where needed and set up a collective mission.  The entire experience brought the team closer together and fast tracked our path to peak performance.  If you are looking for a way to pull your team together, I highly recommend Axe & Arrow as your partner."
- Helen Hwang, VP, Exec Ed Industry Solutions & Strategy at Salesforce.org

"We needed to reset our culture. Axe & Arrow's process helped us define cultural norms and break down silos.  Our teamwork accelerated, and the company found its true 'North Star' that unleashed the full potential of the business. I am happy to report that a year later the culture and team are collaborating like never before, and the business results are stronger than ever."
