“The most helpful aspect of Dr. Clark’s approach is his insistence on customer-centered conversation. His level of inquiry into other peoples’ perspectives is sincere and meaningful, and it both elicits honest feedback from them and prompts critical thinking about there own impacts on others. Dr. Clark is, in short, inquisitive without being intrusive.”

“You have consistently gone above and beyond in having an honest concern for the health of our team. Your approach of guiding the team to a place where we all see the need to accept each other’s gifts as well as respect for our differences, has been very effective for us. As a result of our work together, the team was able to navigate the waters of ‘storming’ and continue to move forward to once again ‘norming’. I also feel as though I am able to completely trust you as a confidant and as one who will give honest and helpful feedback. … We would work with you again in a second and we were actually a bit sorry not to have an immediate need for your return.”

“Joc Clark has a unique ability to adapt to the issues for which he has been hired. Our staff requires a bilingual approach to the areas being addressed in which Joc seamlessly moves from English to Spanish. Joc has been instrumental in the development of our Mission, Vision and Core Values that we have followed and will follow in our operations for years to come. In the past, we have also addressed significant issues of communication between staff and management via emails, which have been particularly challenging in today’s technical environment. His assistance in bringing an understanding to all of us that utilize emails for whatever purpose, has created a beneficial understanding that has created significant improvements in our in house communications. More important, Joc has led our management team in the development of specific goals within the various company departments leading to many successful years of operations.”

“Joc clearly communicates his expectation for students to assert personal ownership for their own care, success and engagement in learning. He is enthusiastic, a great risk manager and brings students awareness of objective hazard, environmental hazard and the risk of lacking communication brings when traveling in mountain environments, on rivers or while at climbing & ropes sites. Unlike most wilderness instructors in the field, Joc has used his wilderness medical skills (WFR) extensively, further extending his client care abilities.”
