Our Services

FRN strategically designs and facilitates customized retreats, training and meetings for forums, management teams and boards of directors. Our professional facilitators personally tailor our learning products to fit the needs of your group, so that you and your members can experience dynamic growth and group health.

We can also help build a forum or peer group program for your association or organization ¿ or work with you to enhance a forum program you've already started.

Customized Forum Retreat

A forum's annual retreat is a time to step back, assess where you are and evaluate current learning needs in the group. Although it's a significant investment of time and energy, an annual retreat allows your members to reaffirm their commitment to each other, build trust and address conflicts within the group.

A qualified facilitator draws upon a wealth of personal and professional experience with scores of forums when guiding your group through its annual retreat. By engaging a professional facilitator, you'll have a catalyst to address whatever issues exist in your forum — whether it's mediating a complex situation or sparking a time of deep growth. Outsourcing your retreat facilitation means each member of your group can participate on equal footing. It ensures a powerful, effective experience for every member.

It was one spectacular day...to say the very least. Too bad we just can't be a roundtable, but now it's our job to spread the learning with others. I truly enjoyed everyone yesterday and the wonderful content of our time together. Grateful. Hopeful. Energized. Renewed. Encouraged. Amen!
