Rapport Leadership International

Before attending the Breakthrough Leadership retreat, I knew that this was going to stretch and challenge me – get me out of my comfort zone. I was encouraged to trust the process. So I determined to do that – and had a great learning experience over the three days. This leadership retreat encourages self-​awareness and provides opportunities for personal growth and development. For those who have a desire to develop and improve their leadership skills, I highly recommend Rapport’s programs. Be ready to immerse yourself in the retreat and be willing to stretch, play, work, and have fun!

The classes at Rapport have helped me get better clarity on who I am and what I’m capable of. I highly recommend their classes to anyone wanting to grow as a person and make a difference in the world.
I’ve studied and followed numerous leadership and self-​improvement books and programs over the years but none of them come close to Rapport in terms of rubber-​meets-​the-​road principles and action steps.

I have attended both Leadership Breakthrough 1 and Leadership Breakthrough 2. When a dear friend suggested I attend, I shrugged it off, as I have been through countless sales seminars and personal development workshops. At 41, I thought, how different could it be…
I finally agreed to go after 4 months. I had no idea what to expect and soon the thought of «What am I doing here?» was running through my head. I had never been so «outside» my comfort zone. I know it is cliché to say, but it is life changing! I became a better person in all aspects of life, as a mother, a friend, business owner and community member. I gained the confidence to take action and to stop settling for «good enough». I thank you Rapport! And look forward to PC and Eagle Quest! I

I’ve recently attended LB1 and it was without a doubt a life changing experience. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done though it was the best decision I’ve ever made to do something. I loved it.
LB1 is truly, truly a life changing experience. It was out of my comfort zone from the get go and the support that came along with it was from the beginning was very heartfelt. The classes pushed me to bring out my best, to give everything my all, and it was amazing to look back on my years and realize how much I had in me and how much I let ride along in my comfort zone of «good enough.»
From just this first class, LB1, I will forever be solid my ability to be a great leader. I am very, very thankful.
As they say… TRUST THE PROCESS.

In the last three months I have attended both Leadership Breakthrough 1 (LB1) and Power Communication (PC)
The skills and perspective that I gained from LB1 were so impressive that I literally jumped at the chance to attend PC. This is not one of those things you attend and maybe get one or two good things out of it. This is a get you out of your comfort zone process that you get many positive returns from.
PC also lived up to the hype. I work in HR, and have successfully applied many of the skills I learned in PC to my regular work day; and experienced amazingly positive results.
Through these two classes I have better discovered myself, met lifelong friends, and gained a confidence to take action.
I have already planned to attend Leadership Breakthrough 2 next year, and look forward to being considered a Master Grad.
I highly reccommend Rapport Leadership International.

Rapport is a great experience – I’ve been through Power Communication and Leadership Breakthrough One and found both programs to be very valuable for learning to communicate and to build positive teams. Met many wonderful, positive people and was treated really, really well by everyone from the trainers to fellow participants to staff at the facility. Great food and an absolutely beautiful setting too. Don’t hesitate to attend one of these workshops if you get a chance.

This is nothing more than a scam, wrapped in a pyramid scheme, masquerading as a «professional» organization which only exists to make participants conform to their incredibly twisted world view. Neurolinguistic Programming is not an academically sound field. There is no causal link between anything Rapport teaches and actual human behavior, let alone styles of communication. My trainer decided to make a comparison between an in-​class exercise and world events like terrorism and school shootings – a leap in logic that is not only unfounded in any sort of reason, but also one that completely trivializes the highly complex nature of both of the aforementioned issues. These baseless claims make me absolutely sick. One of the final exercises involves physically raising your hand to another’s face as if you are about to slap them – a «process» which essentially glamorizes domestic violence. Since when is this okay? Moreover, if one raises one’s hand to another and they believe they might incur physical harm, this is considered assault. Is this an experience you really want to have, especially with your loved one or co-​worker? I sincerely hope that anyone considering attending any one of their «courses» thinks long and hard about supporting an organization with such questionable values. I want absolutely nothing to do with Rapport Leadership International and I will tell anyone who will listen exactly why they need to not only beware, be suspicious of everything you are told, and furthermore, run away as fast and as far as you can.

I found out about Rapport Leadership International from someone I interviewed for a position with my former company (Jeff). Jeff told me about how the training instilled confidence, absolute belief in oneself and a respect for teammates. He highly recommended it for teenagers as well.
My son (17 at the time, September 2011) was blessed with God given gifts that he wasn’t developing so I signed him up for the training. The training lasts roughly 48 hours and takes place 90 miles outside of Las Vegas in Alamo, NV. Participants generally fly into Vegas on a Friday, take a taxi to Rapport’s office 10 minutes from the airport, meet their classmates around noon and depart together on a bus to Alamo at 1.00 in the afternoon. The bus takes everyone back to the Airport on Sunday afternoon, arriving between 5.30 & 6.00 that night.
I attended the graduation ceremony and was absolutely blown away by the transformation I saw in my son and in the class of 18 teenagers. Training starts with attendees who have never met. We naturally «size up» people and make up our minds about who they are, about their value or lack thereof based on initial impressions. Through the training the group grows to be very close and each participant learns how to look within people to see good and to understand how we each have a great deal of value.
Participants learn leadership skills and emerge from training knowing they can accomplish anything they choose to accomplish. Through the training participants learn what holds them back in life. Each of us are responsible for our own success. We make daily decisions to lead, to follow or to make ourselves irrelevant. The training teaches skills so that attendees understand how to choose to lead daily.
I attended shortly after my son and have sent my other two children and my wife. Only my youngest went willingly… the others went very reluctantly. All were very glad that they went and will tell anyone that asks how valuable the training is.
The training is intense. I’ve been to a number of graduation ceremonies and, when asked, 100% of attendees say it’s the hardest training they’ve attended. I agree. Attendees also have 17 – 30 new very close friends (their classmates), they have a new outlook on life, are extremely happy and are ready to knock down walls. Rapport has a unique way to getting the best out of each attendee, never pushing anyone unnecessarily, but challenging each participant to be the best version of themselves. It is truly an amazing transformation.
I reflect on what I learned regularly. This is unique in all training I’ve attended and has made an impression unlike any other training.

I was nominated for the Power Communication course by my employer and I dreaded it from the moment I was told. I made up my mind that I was not going to enjoy it and just «do my time» until I could get back to work to get caught up from the 2 days that I missed.
What a life lesson I learned. I thought that I, at 41, had already matured and learned all I needed to know. This course and I my classmates changed me. Rapport+ teach us things that we already know, as members of a civilized society, but the way in which they point out how your narcissism affects people around you is heart wrenching.
I entered as a closed off and bitter individual and left as an open and rejuvenated member of a «work» family.
I know that we will keep each other accountable as we re-​enter our work environment and I hope that I get to experience the magnitude of the change after ALL employees get the opportunity to experience this attitude altering class.

Improve the person, improve the family, improve the business then improve the community.
These are the areas of leadership that Rapport takes to a new level.
This fast paced, intense leadership programs are worth it, then nominate a friend or colleague and see the excitement grow.
