“Your (Mr. Mosten’s) presence was inspiring for the students and the faculty. I read the program evaluations turned in by the students and I cannot refrain from quoting some of the several very enthusiastic comments you received:

Strengths of the training:
- The very skilled teacher
- Achieved presenters competence felt
- Hands-on advice
- It was excellent as it was
- Mr. Mosten’s treasure of experience
- Very practical
- The training has by far exceeded my expectations, which were high!
Suggestions for improving the training:
- Make it a week-end
- More opportunities for participants to practice the techniques”
I think, it becomes obvious that we all were very satisfied by the training and very glad to have you here in Munich. Therefore, I would very much like to welcome you in Munich soon again.
In preparation for the next training we should discuss about the time you could spend teaching. Given your outstanding experience and knowledge of the matter, we should think of a two day training. Preferably on Friday/Saturday to have more professionals in the audience.
With warm personal regards, and full of gratitude,
Olaf Preuss
General Manager

Comments from Professionals About Forrest Mosten’s Trainings
The following are just a few reactions of professionals who have seen Mr. Mosten's conference presentations or attended his trainings.
 |
“I attended a presentation on mediation and collaborative law by Woody Mosten at the RESOLUTION, UK Conference in Bournmouth, England in April 2006. I was impressed by Mr. Mosten's innovative approach to family law and peacemaking. Due to Woody's inspiration, I took Collaborative Law Training and my career is progressing in ways I never dreamed of.” |
| Neil Denny, Solicitor Member The Family Lawyers Collaborative Lawyers Organisation Trowbridge, England |

“Woody, all the feedback we are receiving about your training from our members is very positive. Thank you for the energy careful thought you devoted to the planning and presentation of the program. I will definitely be speaking with our board about having you return to New Jersey as soon as possible. |
| Anju Jessani President Of NJAPM |

Following a May 2007 training for the New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators, Carl Cangelosi, the conference co-chair and a professional mediator trainer himself, wrote the following:
“Thanks again for coming to New Jersey and presenting the seminar. I thought you might like to see some of the comments that we received. Thank you also for your generosity in providing the training participants with mountains of helpful materials and even sending the powerpoints of your presentaton.”
“I thought his presentation style was excellent. I learned more from him than I did in prior advanced training sessions. While brevity is a virtue, that’s not the case with Mr. Mosten’s training and I thought that he needed more time than we gave him to make it more effective.”
“Fabulous program on May 5th with Mr. Mosten, I would like to see more of that, and do more in depth work.”
“What a terrific seminar.”

“In the training workshops conducted in April 2007, the real star was Woody Mosten. The feedback I received from my colleagues was that he is brilliant and it has been too long since he was last in Australia. I would love to see us get him back for a repeat performance if this marries in with his diary commitments.” |
| Susan Purdon, Family Lawyer Partner, Hopgood Gannim, Brisbane, Australia Member, Family Law Council of Australia |

“The presenter was fantastic: very entertaining throughout the day. His consistent modeling was empowering in itself. The concrete examples, suggested materials (books and movies), and his handouts are greatly appreciated and provide several tools for the various professions present.”
“Well worth the 600 mile round trip.”
