"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 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.”

“Facilitation of a meeting where there is a wide diversity of opinion and broad range of experience represented in a group is a daunting challenge! Of course that is always complicated by one or two in the audience who think that they know all the answers and have the most incisive comments to offer. How I wish I were as sure about anything as some are about everything! You handled that all admirably. It was fun to watch you at work!”

- Donald E. MacLauchlan
Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies
Asociacion Agencias de Pesca y Vida Silvestre
Washington, DC


". . . things looked bleak for awhile with constant news stories about 'an impasse' in funding us. But I used some of the terrific negotiating skills I learned in a book written by some Fraidenburg guy to get to the win/win!"
