Helping You Create Meetings That Work

“Thank you for your assistance in facilitating our City Council's September 25th Shoreline Update Workshop… The meeting was definitely a success and you played a pivotal role in getting us there. The group of invitees was strong willed and the potential for conflict was high and you helped to ensure that the dialogue remained focused, constructive and respectful. I was particularly impressed with your ability to summarize key themes and pose questions that helped to enrich the dialogue… We've now had the chance to work together in both a large group as well as a smaller and more personal one and you were effective in both settings.” 

“I just attended the negotiation class that Michael Fraidenburg taught and it was awesome!  I just wanted to take it upon myself (he didn't ask me to) to put in a good word for him.  He was amazing.  The class was 2 days and was packed with excellent information. He knows his stuff…”, - Cindy.

“Hi Michael,

I took your course on facilitation in Minnesota about two years ago. I have taken several courses on facilitation and wanted to send you a note to say that your class was by far the best. I feel that you took the best aspects of the different facilitation theories/practices and created a “best of” guide. I have shared your book with others in my agency, the Department of Natural Resources, and they seemed to be in agreement that is a great, concise guidance on facilitation.

I wanted to say thank you for sharing your experiences and skills.”

 “Thank you so much.  I told my boss this was one of the best trainings that I have attended.  Thank you for making it so.”

“. . . the Five Year Strategic Plan you helped the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission craft is serving us well.”

“Mike Fraidenburg helped my office develop our first strategic plan. He crafted a process specific to our needs that brought together diverse areas of interests and specialties. His [Mike’s] generous spirit and thoughtful approach brought out the best in my team. He made hard work enjoyable and we have a strategic plan that has helped the organization meet its most important goals.”
