What’s a Cradlerock?

Our name connects directly to our roots in the Cradlerock farm area outside of Princeton, New Jersey. A favorite spot for climbing and bouldering enthusiasts, Cradlerock is an actual physical rock that is famous for the unique way that it remains balanced along a larger tabletop formation. The boulder is roughly as big as a medium sized truck and people have been known to rock the multi-ton structure simply by pushing at the right place. 

For us, the formation has always been a clear metaphor reminding us of the potential of every single member of your team to literally move mountains…

The Cradlerock Group excels at customizing its work. Every session they’ve done for PeopleSoft has been tailored to meet a specific group’s particular needs – before and even during a program as group dynamics changed. This personalized approach has helped us to clarify our goals and also to build relationships to help us achieve those goals.
