We needed the training...it showed me how deeply we embraced the ruinous empathy mindset (myself included). It was emotionally difficult for many at first to have the real conversations. The initial feedback felt difficult to receive. I am not only more aware of how I incorporate red arrow behaviors, but also how others do too. It provides more insight into getting past them and getting to the substance to create positive change.


profile picture   Erin Cardinal - MOAA

This training changed my 'relationship' with feedback. Instead of seeing it as 'negative' or 'positive' or 'good' or 'bad' I now frame it in terms of usefulness / effectiveness. I am more confident in providing feedback and I am more thoughtful about the feedback that I give in terms of usefulness. I ask myself, 'is this just my opinion, or can someone actually do something to move the needle with this feedback'? I think it will take some more time for this to have a notable organizational...

profile picture   Rachel Barth - Military Officers Association

I got a ton from the training in terms of really seeing my blind spots and how my behaviors affected people in ways I didn't even know. I also started to connect the dots between listening, paying attention to details, speaking up and how this all helps create high-performing teams.


profile picture   Daniel Sipek - Ohio Department of Education

*Take aways from the training. I hadn't thought much about self-improvement in this way and the term Red Arrow Behaviors was something I had not ever heard before. Thinking about this term has given me a new vision of self-reflection. I hope that thinking about RABs will part of who I am in all settings and have a positive impact on my work * I learned that my interactions in different settings have had an effect on the value I bring to the group I am working with. I think at times I have... Read more


profile picture   Adam Klimas - State Support Team Region 5

Throughout the training, I learned about my behavior, and I also learned ways that others in my group manage their own behavior. I have not spent much time considering ways that I shut down feedback, but after very little reflection it was clear that I engage in many red-arrow behaviors.

This module of debating to learn has taught me a great deal about asking questions to be more curious, vs trying to win a debate. I have normally leaned toward looking at the negative of a situation and leaning into the positive of how something can succeed has been situationally hard for me and I've been practicing more on thinking and speaking more positively.

This most recent iteration of PRT - Module 3 10X, was great training to continue to be 'in the arena' working on my RABs, dialing down, but also awareness of what getting messy looks like. It felt like I touched the surface in getting messy, but really good in getting in the reps and practice of it. Debating to learn and be curious is alot harder than it seems, and I continue to grow and learn to do that - I keep developing that thicker skin to give and receive feedback and not LHF! All of it...

PRT Module 3 was useful in gathering and structuring my thoughts using ladders of inference, to argue for or against a scenario. Getting the reps in week after week meant that this became easier and almost second nature.

Learning to listen and give out feedback makes me a better employee in work and better person in life.


profile picture   Jason Cardinal - QR Pay Ltd Co

Being vulnerable and letting in full-blown critical feedback is both a vital and painful process for self-improvement. You can't improve if you don't know your shortcomings, and no one is willing to risk a decent relationship to give you their honest opinions. The PRT-A training helped me become a better listener in my professional and personal life.


profile picture   Katie Onufer - Shark Bite Fitness and Nutrition

PRT with Steve and my group was extremely helpful. I never realized how difficult it would be to observe my own behaviors and try to address them. With the help of the other members in the group I've begun the hard task of working on myself and have also improved my ability to give others feedback.


profile picture   Lisa Zancewicz - Town of Holliston

Awareness is the key word that I continue to use when I talk about PRT-A/B. As a teacher, I love to look at behavior and what causes or drives behavior in kids. Until PRT, I had never really related it to my own behavior. I didn't really connect the dots that my own actions drive my behavior and impact how people interact with me. PRT-A/B have given me the tools to be aware of my own feelings and actions. Moving through my day, I can often identify that "fork in the road" where there might be... Read more

It was great. It helped me gain some more self awareness, as well as helping me grow in my ability to provide honest and constructive feedback to others.


profile picture   Thomas Regier - Greater Purpose Health & Fitness

It made me much more aware of them. I had never really thought about if before or where they might have came from. The awareness that was brought to them and then the challenge to actively go out and work on improving them and getting in some safe reps to start was great!

I had a very positive experience in PRT. I’ve done many different types of trainings through the years but I actually felt like I learned something that I will use moving forward.


profile picture   Hamish Stewart-Smith - BDO

I'm way less in my head, constantly thinking about the right action to take, and much more able to move fast, see and evaluate the consequences of my actions, adjust or keep going, learn, learn, learn, repeat and keep moving. Way more confident and calm.


profile picture   Tim Furbush - Team Furby

I was working on a better version of myself long before I ever heard of Next Jump, but short of therapy - nothing accelerated my personal development faster. In PRT-B you get personal coaching plus a platform to capture reflections and emotional state. And because it's done in a group format, you have the added benefit of sharing in the experiences of each group member's own unique challenges. If you do the work, you end up with data...lots of it. And it's all about you. I found it a... Read more

This PRT experience continues to keep me in the arena, learning and growing. It has allowed me to continue to look inward instead of blaming others for the ways conflict goes unresolved. The more I am engaged with others that are in the arena, the more opportunity I have to consistently go in the dark and make a habit of paying attention to my self and push the boundaries of my comfort zone of the appearances I keep. I am grateful to those that don't just take my BS of niceness and passivity... Read more


profile picture   Sara Carter - Portside Fitness

PRT-B gave me a deep dive into paying more attention to my RABs and then getting reps whole on them. Being able to share that with other people who are working to better themselves gave me the opportunity to be extremely open and honest with myself and with them. Mike was a great leader and seeing how he spoke the truth with his own team gave me great insight.


profile picture   Tao Xu - authright

it's an impressive expreience


profile picture   Christopher Iafelice - Adapting Social

The biggest takeaway that I had when taking PRT was self-awareness and how important it is for your growth. Not only professionally, but also personally. I didn't realize how much my RAB's crossed over from my professional and personal life and when I started to self-identify these arrows that were prohibiting people from giving me the truth, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. During the 13 weeks I was attending PRT, not only did I see an improvement in the relationships I... Read more


profile picture   Michael Maccarone - Avenues: The World School

The PRT-A course was a really powerful way to begin to build a better routine around inviting and receiving feedback as a leader. It helped me to examine some of the conscious and unconscious things that I was doing to keep others from being able to be honest with me, and that kept me from being able to accept their feedback. I tend to want to explain my rationale for everything when things don't go smoothly, and that can be seen as defensive or resistive to feedback. It's something I will... Read more


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

Sometimes I felt like I was searching for things to probe on, and felt like I would be rated poorly for not asking questions, so sometimes I may have just been talking to talk. But other times, what was being shared was more in my wheelhouse and I felt I could contribute more. You have to learn there is a balance, and sometimes it may be okay to not probe if others are probing, etc.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

This was a 2% thing for me. I tried to do this and LIP each week, and it proved too much. I had conflicts with this a few times, but this was the more critical thing for me to join, and the LIPs have had to move to the backburner. As time progresses, maybe I’ll be able to pick them back up, but I think this relates to that intensity vs consistency Becca talked about today.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

Truly listening to the others helped open my eyes to things I was also doing but hadn’t thought of. So again, fully investing helped break down some walls and allowed me to grow more internally while also being able to speak from experiences.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

You get out what you put into it; nothing new, but you really need to engage fully to get the full benefit. There were days I wasn’t feeling it and was distracted, and I felt I offered less and took away less than others, whether or not it appeared that way. Practicing intentionality is sometimes hard, but it’s critical to grow.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

Want to improve, but find it daunting? Take smaller bites out of the process by running a few low-drag experiments, to relieve some of the pressure to get it perfectly right the first time.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

If you want to receive honest, critical feedback, then first ask yourself how you are putting up barriers that prevent others from telling you the truth.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

It’s all about the reps: the consistency allowed me to hold myself accountable to the growth I told the group I was going to take. If I didn’t take it (which was sometimes the case), it forced me to explore why, which led to a deeper realization of my RABs.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

The more I gave, the more I received: the deeper I allowed myself to go, the more I grew. I think the PRT framework allows people to grow at their own pace, but there is full support to go as deep and real (vulnerable) as you want to go.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Rice U

I appreciated having a group that met consistently because that was a form of accountability for me. The PRT framework helped me get out of my comfort zone giving and receiving truth. (Both during our weekly meetings together and through the feedback app).

PRT has changed not only my professional life and strategic thinking; it has also made me a better person all around.

PRT has upgraded the way I see and experience the world. It has taught me how to improve my decision-making process to land on more optimal solutions.


profile picture   Josh Hurt - Rice U

How I have seen PRT help people grow: 1) Participants become better at changing their worldview as they see the world change around them. 2) Participants seek out feedback instead of shying away from it. 3) Changes how participants see mistakes, instead of trying to hide them they now see them as learning opportunities. 4) PRT helps participants that see challenges as threats, instead see them as growth opportunities. 5) PRT helps dial down ego and participants are more inclined to ask for help...

profile picture   Simon Sparks - Mythical, Inc.

It's the foundation of leadership, without being fully engaged in PRT I think as a leader(at what ever level you are) you will limit yourself and create 'glass ceilings'. It's also the bedrock of inclusive cultures. If you bottle up what makes the elite teams in sports, business etc perform better then the rest it would be PRT.


profile picture   Nadia Bajan - Next Jump

I am also grateful for the people in our resiliency training as everyone is trying to give their POV on how I can improve….. I think that as soon as I can dial these 2 As down, people will more likely feel comfortable giving me feedback and that will help me grow. …Thank you all for helping me work on myself, helping me knowing myself better. No one has ever invested in Better Me that much. I am really grateful.


profile picture   Jing - Next Jump

Our resiliency training group is very supportive. At the same time, I got a lot of honest feedback during the process. At the same time, I am a little shameful because it took me so long to have those awareness and willing to take actions... because of the shame, I feel extra grateful for the people who are patient and support me through this journey. I still have a long way to go. I am less scared now.

Extremely Grateful Resiliency Training is giving me a great opportunity to reflect deeper on what is restricting me to become a better version of me and realize my full potential. And also how I make it difficult for others to give me feedback and truth.

Surprisingly enough the participation in group discussion continues to get better.

I have also been receiving better feedback (verbally) from my teams at work and family at home. ... Read more

to be able to talk about, get feedback on and really look at my desire to control every situation – it’s been eye opening for me on how much I can improve my behavior.


profile picture   Clarke - USAA

Two distinct situations this week that I saw the effects of PRT. In both situations, I approached differently, the conversations were more real, and watching monika navigate a really tense situation yesterday – was so impressive.


profile picture   PRT Participant - FSA

This is a course where everyone learns something different....about themselves. The learning is, therefore, difficult to truly measure. I did not realize this until the course concluded that I've actually learned something about myself.


profile picture   PRT Participant - FSA

One of the best aspects was the opportunity to meet in a safe place with colleagues. I think the concept of feedback did help to get the conversation moving and allowed some of us to open up more than we normally would have done. Can we incorporate some of the learning from the on demand Next Jump videos into the future courses?


profile picture   PRT Participant - FSA

This was an excellent workshop and I would strongly encourage that this opportunity be offered to all FSA employees. The workshop was timely, substantive, and timely!! Kudos to the awesome facilitators on a job very well done!!

Thank you for sponsoring this program I believe others would benefit from future

The timing of the program was great as there has been tremendous change and uncertainty in recent years and starting each session with what's on your minds led to multiple rich discussion on a number of different topics that helped to strengthen relationships among participants.

I just tried one of the Resiliency training on Tuesday and it was great. Makes you think of past leadership training that didn't work (checklists/procedures from more of a liability/employment law perspective...not practical approaches) and how you can relearn by unlearning your old training/management approaches.


profile picture   PRT Participant - FSA

This was incredibly valuable. It helped me realize that I had to step up and show that I have the leadership skills and courage to lead. Many thanks for the feedback and believing in me.


profile picture   PRT Participant - Next Jump

Sometimes it can be easy to think you are the only ones struggling/making mistakes/tired etc but it’s so grounding seeing this group of people who all have so much care also facing the same things. I feel grateful.

I feel grateful for being part of this. Felt really emotional while presenting during resiliency training. It has definitely given me a new perspective and energy and I feel more confident today. I feel, I am really enjoying what I am doing… I feel touched and grateful to be a part of this


profile picture   PRT Participant - FSA

I would like to recommend that this workshop be offered at the employee level. I believe employees may benefit from understanding their red arrow behaviors to help them improve themselves. By having both supervisors and employees knowing how to deal with red arrow behaviors may create a more cohesive and collaborative working relationship.


profile picture   Monika - USAA

I’ve been in several resiliency trainings before (classes) – this has been so much more effective. Documenting how I am in my head – feeling less alone hearing what others are struggling with. Without PRT, I would be in a worse state right now – I feel so much more hopeful – empowered to bring up these topics and work on them

PRT group – I feel like I finally have the safe space to be honest here. I’ve gotten feedback over my career to tone it down, be less direct. I can share my messiness and I’m blown away with the courage of others

PRT has forced me to slow down & be more introspective during the day.


profile picture   Christine Bhe - Tai Chi Wellbeing

I have experienced a bit of a catharsis with the first exercise in exploring my fears and what is the worst that could happen. It has helped my realize that my fears are causing me undue stress, leading to negative outcomes such as self-limiting behavior, and real and/or imagined pain and suffering.


profile picture   Kori Keane-Bautista - ADP

Being more mindful of my personal brand and how I present myself to others has been enlightening.... I am typically reserved, so opening up and showing vulnerability is a new concept. It's not as intimidating as I thought it would be.


profile picture   Maria Rodriguez - Pizza Express

I have gone to some Resiliency training in the past on a personal level and having gone through the first few sessions of Resiliency at the workplace has changed the view of the meaning quiet a lot. PRT has made me seen a complete other me, making me think about myself and how others see me making me realize that I don´t know myself as good as I though.

I have enjoyed the different perspectives of group members. I think it is a great forum for sharing because we have no preconceived ideas about who each of us are and it seems easier to share things because of this.

PRT has helped me in other ways that I believe the intentions are. I have been constantly avoiding doing things that make me feel uncomfortable (like talking about myself, my struggles, speaking publicly in general) so this has been great and I now look forward to it.

It’s hard to put into words the affect PRT has on an individual. To me, and bear with me here, it’s kind of like quantum physics.

I've been working with the group for over a year. I feel I'm far more receptive to feedback now, looking to see what might be behind it if I disagree. I feel more attuned to situations where feedback has been softened for me, where previously, I'd only hear the good parts (who doesn't want to hear how great they are). Before I started resiliency training, I would be defensive - I always had to win.

Thanks to friend’s reference, I have the great honor to attend PRT-A training. Within only thirteen weeks, I reflected several crucial RABS with the help of my coach and TP’s co-practice: 1. I’m always right. 2. I’m short-tempered. 3.

It was a self-awareness journey, it helps me to find some RABs which prevent others to provide me feedbacks. Furthermore, a supportive group and an insightful coach brought some different prospective which I have not seen myself in these ways. Thanks for the program to encourage me to be more candid with confidence to speak out my mind, meanwhile, to build the trust in a group.


profile picture   Degang Wang - (Digital Health Startup)

PRT-A is one of the best expereinces in my work in my life. The PRT training dramaticly improved my awareness on my RABs and helped me dial it down in several ways through the 13 weeks practice. It was like muscle-buidling process and we became stronger along the journey.


profile picture   Liqiang (Derek) Tou - SAMA

I have had a very rewardable experience. I think PRT-A experience is a very important step for me to become a true leader after showing more of my true self and dialing down my RABs, though it is not easy. I am so glad with all the help from my group I finally figured out my motivation to make a change in my life.


profile picture   Tim Sweeney - Connecticut College

The PRT-A forced me to look directly at some patterns in my communication with others. The realization that my defensiveness and avoidance tendencies were slowing me down was significant. More than anything, the practice of providing (& receiving) direct feedback was very helpful & I'm excited to build off of it. I can see these concepts applied directly to my own life, but also could be very useful for the team I coach and the community where I work.


profile picture   Ryan Mee - Vassar College

Truth-seeking was the biggest take away. We all want to be direct, so we can get to the REAL issues/topic. My RABs of selfishness and passive aggressive behavior came out quickly during our sessions. This class was a safe space for us to share our individual experiences and receive feedback from group members with no other intention than to help you improve!

PRT training has made a significant impact on my productivity at work. One of my RABS that i wasn't aware of until going through PRT was when I get stressed out or frustrated I tend to go silent & shut down. Just by having more awareness around that has helped me better think through why what I'm struggling with and seek assistance where needed vs trying to do things solo.

Awareness of my RABs has been the biggest thing for me. While I kind of always knew that they existed, I was not always aware of how much they play into my daily actions as well as my decision making processes.
