What our Guests Say

We’re able to just spend time together. Be real, be human. Get to know each other outside the work environment. And then also the creative juices come together when you’re away from the phone and the day-to-day activities. It helps to have trained people to walk you through the processes to get there.

Russ Greenlaw, CEOAssociated Grocers of New England

The SEL program Alnoba/Pinnacle was beautiful and one the Next community will always remember. We received positive feedback from our staff and students about the days. All of the activities were enjoyable and well put together, the ropes courses were exhilarating and provided opportunities for everyone to communicate in a vulnerable and authentic way. We were able to step outside our comfort zones while also having fun. We are so excited to return!!!

Amy M., School CounselorNext Charter School

It was helpful to spend time with our team outside of our day-to-day obligations. It pushed us to think differently. Scott pushed the group to stay focused on the big swings instead of being bogged down by the details and planning. He was patient, firm and supportive.

Yi-Chin ChenFriends of the Children, Boston

The combination of expert facilitators who know how to transform groups into high performing teams paired with the inspirational atmosphere and accommodations is the best professional development I have come across. I recommend Alnoba highly to a leader and their team who is looking to get to that next level of impact and accountability.

Gabrielle King MorsePresident & CEO, Center for Women & Enterprise

Our facilitator provided an outside perspective on team dynamics and gave us the opportunity and structure to share feedback with each other in a constructive way, and getting out of the office and into nature inspired creativity that we wouldn't have gotten in a conference room.

Jenna HohmannVP of Finance & Operations, EnVerid

In the past I've often felt as though I had to be the only one responsible for making sure things were getting done. During our Pinnacle Leadership team offsite I learned to trust my team and delegate certain roles and responsibilities.

Greg HillExecutive Director, Team New England

I have had the opportunity of working with Alnoba and the Pinnacle leadership team; to say we are a better company for having met them would be an understatement. We have grown, relying and trusting each other like ever before and I credit this to doing the work with each other.
