Melissa cole, dean, College of Health, john carroll university

“Working with All Forward to organize our retreat at Cuyahoga Valley National Park was an exceptional experience. The team's ability to facilitate meaningful discussions and activities brought our team closer together and provided valuable insights into communication, collaboration, and recognizing each other's contributions. Their guidance helped us embrace the importance of learning from failures and celebrating both successes and setbacks. All Forward's expertise and thoughtful planning have had a lasting impact on our team dynamics, and we are grateful for their support in making our retreat a memorable and transformative event.”


Jeff Klemm, Director, Professional Development & Leadership Initiatives | College of Business, University of Akron

“All Forward has contributed extensively to our students’ personal growth and how they better understand their surroundings. The curated experiences that were created for us allowed our students to get out of their comfort zone, learn more about themselves and others, and connect it back to their day-to-day life. I would suggest these opportunities to any team!”


Jackie Bebenroth, Founder & Principal, Muse Headquarters

“We trusted the All Forward team to produce a memorable CVNP event for one of our top clients. Not only did they deliver a spectacular experience the day of the event, they were responsive, collaborative and service-oriented throughout the planning process. As event variables changed, they went above and beyond to modify the plan to suit our client's goals. We couldn't have asked for a better partner! All Forward also led our agency field day with a memorable nature and art experience for our team. The event was both inspiring and invigorating; we returned to the office ready to take on the world!”


Rory O'Neil, Executive Director of Alumni Engagement, John Carroll University

"We LOVED working with Roseanne and All Forward. She curated a truly unique outdoor experience at purplebrown farm for our Women's Networking Group and helped John Carroll University connect with one of our most important alumni constituencies in a fun, engaging, and inspirational way." 


Elizabeth Voudouris, President & CEO, Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU)

“All Forward curated a thoughtful staff retreat for our team. Set in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the experience combined nature, team building, art, and fun. We talked through our staff survey results, zeroed in on ways to work better as a team, and then set out to get to know each other better with outdoor activities. Our team came away from the day with a renewed commitment to each other and our mission. ”


Jason, All forward participant

“Hiking actually gave me some confidence as I hadn't hiked in a while. I learned that it is so liberating to simply let yourself go, immerse yourself in an experience, and trust that those who organized it have it well-thought out to the point where you can simply absorb it with all senses.”


David, All forward participant

“What did you learn from your peers? We share the same struggles within our profession and leadership roles.”


Karen, All forward participant

“I find it vitally important to take breaks from my daily routine to engage in activities that I am passionate about and bring me joy. I love to try new experiences especially if it involves nature. These trips proved to be a fantastic challenge that helped me to feel revitalized and refreshed.”


Kevin, All forward participant

“My experience with Roseanne started a new chapter in my life. While I’ve done some outdoor trips, I hadn’t ridden a bicycle in 28 years, but I decided to join her on an outdoor experience. Her encouragement and enthusiasm for outdoor adventures sparked my decision to buy a bicycle and train for the Great Allegheny Passage and Camp from Pittsburgh to Washington, DC.”


Juan, All forward participant

“This experience was one of a kind. Sometimes we travel far to see new things, but only forty minutes from home we can see all this beauty. It was a great experience with great people and amazing guides. Would do it all over again!”
