One Clients Perspective

I struggled working in my business for several years, with great financial success, but I was unhappy. When I started working with you, you helped me clarify my life priorities and focus my business and talent to be more fulfilled.  Once I had that clarity and took action I've been amazed how easy, straightforward, and fun life can be.

My business has tripled in the three years since we've worked together and now instead of being frustrated, I'm continually amazed at the opportunities that come my way, and my ability to make choices about them. Thank you!

Who is Larry Freeborg?

I've been supporting entrepreneurial efforts throughout my career. For the last 22 years, I've been working with successful business leaders and entrepreneurs who see opportunities for their businesses and are struggling to get their organizations (and themselves) focused, aligned, and inspired to capitalize on the opportunities they see.

Prior to my current role of supporting business leaders and entrepreneurs, I worked as an "intra-preneur" for 20 years at 3M Co. and Medtronic in various marketing / sales and leadership positions. The business planning and market development skills I learned in corporate America have been very useful in helping my entrepreneurial clients.

In 1984 I chose to become independent and serve my clients as a strategic business planning and problem solving facilitator. I continue to offer that service today. As a facilitator I've been very effective in helping my clients get clear about what they want to create in their lives and in their businesses. I enjoy facilitation and the results my clients achieve using the "wisdom of the group". Clarity, combined with my client's ability to take action has resulted in some outstanding accomplishments.

Five clients have been nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year or Fastest Growing Minnesota Company within 3 years of working with me.

The leaders of business teams I've worked with always became clearer about what action to take, but in some instances, they and their teams were blocked from taking action. Stuck! Wanting all my clients to succeed at the highest level, in 1989 I began learning how to be an effective coach along with being a facilitator.

My intention was to learn skills that would help my clients move through their "blocked" areas more efficiently and effectively. My curiosity and quest to learn brought me to ontological coaching at the Newfield Network, somatic coaching at Rancho Strozzi, Equine Assisted Coaching and Experiential Learning Events for High Performance Team Building.

What has become clear to me is the significant impact experiential learning can have on adult learners in helping them address their fears, self-doubt and "step through the gate". In 2004 I made a decision to bring selected methods of creating breakthroughs to business leaders, business teams, sales professionals and independent service providers to assist them in moving through challenging transitions.

One of the participants in a workshop inspired the name "Stepping Through The Gate." based on the insight she gained during the workshop. Her comment was "this is like stepping through the gate" to finally take action and realize her vision. It's been encouraging to see how many participants have taken action to move through their blocked or stuck areas as a result of their experience in the workshops.

In reflection, I realize I've been helping people step through their gates all my life as a sales representative, strategic planning facilitator, coach and now experiential learning workshop leader.

In our sessions, you can expect to gain clarity about what you want to create and move through the limiting assumptions and beliefs blocking you from moving forward.

To assist me in putting on Experiential Learning Programs I've collaborated with several gifted teachers and coaches I met during my learning journey. (see bios of colleagues)
