"The Greater Menomonie Chamber of Commerce had the distinct and rewarding opportunity to work with Bruce Siebold on our strategic plan this year.We were fortunate to have his expertise to lead our Board of Directors through a very structured session with a targeted focus on change management. We were able to effectively move our organization forward, so that we were more strategically aligned with our goals. As a facilitator, Bruce is focused, energetic, and driven. He truly wanted to help the Chamber and even took the time after the session to develop an action plan that has helped us to stay on task and achieve many of our goals. If your organization is looking to make changes and work with both innovation and vision, then Bruce is an excellent choice to facilitate that process." Lisa Montgomery Executive Director, Greater Menomonie Area Chamber of Commerce	"Bruce's strong people skills and adaptability allow him to work effectively with a wide variety of people. The focus group experience and candor evident in the interview reports attest to his ability to make people feel welcome and create an environment where everyone wants to participate. He thinks strategically about the client's needs and goals allowing the information assembled to speak and do so without bias or hidden agendas. As a savvy "outsider," he brings fresh eyes and new approaches to problem solving. As should be evident, my professional experience with Bruce has been very positive and I look forward to future work with him. In addition to professional knowledge and skill, I have found him to be a congenial person of high integrity with whom it is a pleasure to interact." Larry R.

"I just realized that it has been just over a year ago that I ask you to help me with strategic planning and change management for Riverland Laser. After a study of these subjects I knew that understanding isn't the same as implementing. You've not only been a great teacher, but also a mentor for all of us over the past year. It's been interesting, to say the least. I read somewhere that reinventing a company is not for the faint of heart, and I think we've proved out that theory. Your knowledge and leadership has been an important part of the success we've achieved since we began to work with you. You helped everyone here to understand the underlying principles related to strategic planning and change which, in turn, helped all of us to find our future. I learned that preserving the past was not an option. Riverland Laser had done some great things over its first ten years of existence. The business plan that I developed before I started the company worked well, to a point, but was supported in large part by my own personality and drive. The employees didn't really have anything invested in the mission, vision, or core values of the company. You've turned a "one man show" into an ensemble performance. I appreciate your help and look forward to your continued involvement as Riverland Laser moves into its second decade. "
