 FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCES | TESTIMONIALS

"Greeks are beyond friendly and willing to celebrate life even in tough times, and finally you get what you give. I will never forget this experience. Thanks for the opportunity.”

 "In Greece, the culture is significantly higher context and drives a very different business culture.  It was difficult to step back from my normal cadence and have more personal and contextual conversations with both the client and vendors.  However, after adjusting I found it to be very rewarding to feel a personal connection to these individuals that I barely knew by name prior.  It is a completely different train of thought that I enjoyed on a personal level.”

 “The AGILE Greece trip was an extremely valuable part of my education; so much so that I found myself telling my parents all about it before I had even left Greece.  I have already gone over the various things I am going to describe to my employer about the trip the moment I get back as well.  I found myself immersed in the program and feel it has been my most significant educational experience to date.  The AGILE Greece program was completely worthwhile and will help me succeed for many years to come.”
