How many times have you seen a poorly-run meeting derail progress?

We’ve all been in meetings where:

  • The meeting agenda got off-track and off-topic
  • People didn’t contribute ideas or speak up
  • Conflict arose over diverse viewpoints
  • No real decision or action plan was determined

The result? No results. Unless a team agrees to action, your meeting is a waste of time.

Bottom Line: When people are invested in the process — when they put their fingerprints on an idea or decision — they’re more likely to invest in the outcome.

Meeting facilitation is like an insurance policy for your high-stakes meeting or conference.

Kristin's Process

There are no one-size-fits-all meeting plans here. Kristin uses a 4-step process to create and facilitate meetings that are customized to your outcomes, company culture, and the players involved.

Kristin talks with the meeting sponsor and gets crystal clear on the objectives. She’ll help you turn your general ideas into targeted deliverables.

In designing a meeting, Kristin’s goal is to truly “step into the shoes” of the people involved. She goes to great lengths to understand your company’s issues, culture, and unique challenges.

Before the meeting even begins, Kristin solicits the ideas of meeting attendees to discover areas of agreement—and where they don’t agree. She deploys a variety of tools and techniques to gather data, including attendee interviews and web-based surveys.

The result? A meeting uniquely tailored to your group, that engages participants and gets your goals accomplished.

Kristin guides the conversation and keep things high-energy and on track. During the meeting, she captures action steps as they arise. At the end, she confirms any agreed-upon action items that need to be done, and who is accountable for them.

Your meeting is only as good as the actions that come from it. Kristin ensures there’s a structure in place so you can maintain momentum. She provides a quick turnaround of the meeting minutes so the team can take immediate action.

Ensure the success of your high-stakes meeting. Contact Kristin at (480) 399-8489 now.
