"To go outside and have the instructor show us different knots and relate it back to how we can use that in the corporate world was a great experience. Belinda has the capability to bring good collaborations together. "

"If you don't deliberately plan to be a good leader, it just won't happen. Wildside's services are so important because of the hands-on aspect and it's needed more now, post-pandemic, than ever."

"I've been inspired by Belinda's attitude and positivity. We were able to learn outdoor skills that I wouldn't have thought would apply to everyday life. It was really unique. My favorite part was stepping outside and relating it to how I could impact co-workers and others. It was very empowering."
