Strategic Facilitation That Drives Clarity, Alignment, and Action

“Kristin is my first choice to help me identify and resolve the challenges associated with any large team building exercise. She has my unqualified recommendation as a facilitator, mentor, and problem solver of the first order.”

“Kristin’s preparation, rapid assimilation of our needs, and facilitation provided my teams the necessary forum to build our strategic and annual plans from which our success is built.”

“Kristin is certainly the best at her profession. She is the best Team Facilitator Trainer in the WORLD!”

“Thanks for hitting a home run for us!  You were fabulous to work with and helped me meet expectations.  A true professional and an excellent speaker and facilitator. Keep on doing what you are doing…you are really good at it!”

“Kristin Arnold is the very best in that virtual meeting facilitation and most recently that was reconfirmed when she helped our organization lead our first Zoom CEO event. As you might expect with doing anything for the first time in a high stakes environment, there is a great deal of fear and uncertainty. Having Kristin involved in this process was invaluable and allowed us to successfully navigate through this new virtual environment. As the commercial says, that is priceless!”

“Panels. The very word causes most of us to groan as it brings up feelings of dislike and disdain. Kristin Arnold has taken the dry, boring, traditional panel format and infused it with excitement, engagement and anticipation all for the audience’s pleasure. Her book Powerful Panels provides a step by step approach to creating 21st Century panels and is a must read for all who plan meetings, events and education formats.”

“Your guidebook, Powerful Panels, is a great reminder of some of the basics.  I read it a few days before moderating the panel – and it’s amazing how much better the panel discussion was!”

“I have been to so many bad panels, and been a culprit in putting on more than a few, that I have developed a real aversion to them, but now I have hope that they can be done well! We’re talking about requiring our moderators to go through the training you make available on your site, and at the very least we’re going to up our game in terms of trying to make sure the moderators are up to doing the job the way it should be done. They’re too important not to really spend time training them. We’ve been playing with different formats in recent years, but I am inspired to try some of the new ideas you gave us. So many takeaways from your your Web site, your book and your training!”

“Most of us have sat through panel discussions where the panel was ‘ho hum’ instead of engaging and thought provoking. Kristin Arnold’s method will put an end to those! Planners & panel moderators take note.”

“For a deep dive on producing great panels – everything from curating panelists to choosing AV to extending the experience after your event – check out Kristin Arnold’s book, Powerful Panels.”

“I attended your session on Reinventing the Panel Discussion and came up afterward saying your session was “worth the price of admission.” Many thanks for an excellent, thought-provoking session!”

“Kristin is fierce on stage whether moderating panels or presenting.”

“Kristin Arnold is truly the best moderator I have had the pleasure to work with. She was instrumental in helping our sales and marketing team properly prepare for and successfully launch an industry accredited webinar which included a panel discussion. Our goal was to make the session educational and engaging while also subtly building brand awareness. Based on comments we received, we did just that! Kristin knows how to ask the right questions in order to stay on track, and how to lead a team to set and achieve their goals and objectives. She is genuine, fun and a pleasure to work with.”

“Kristin Arnold is an expert public speaker and moderator who knows how to make meetings engaging, insightful and valuable.  In this priceless book, she shares her expertise and wisdom to help others lead more effective panels.  If you are running a conference, meeting or panel, you owe it to your audience to probe Kristin’s ideas.”

“Kristin Arnold is our “go-to” resource for inspiring our customers and team to raise the bar to make panels more exciting and informative.”

“We cannot thank you enough, Kristin, for guiding us all the way, for such a masterful facilitation, and for this quick delivery of the minutes. Two of our Scientific Avisory Board members called it a “smashing success.” Your role in this success was tremendous, and we’re forever thankful for it!”
