Involving Virtual Audiences in Meaningful Ways

Whether your meeting is completely online or a “hybrid” with some folks meeting face-to-face while others join in virtually, your meeting success is directly related to the ability of the speakers and participants to connect with the topic and each other.

That’s where Kristin Arnold can help!

“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! I highly recommend Kristin to any organization looking for the best of the best in this critical area.”

Recently, Kristin was a presenter at ISA’s “first ever” virtual Annual Business Meeting – a high stakes, crown jewel event that significantly influences ISA’s value proposition.  ISA pivoted, as did many, to build a virtual program when the live face to face beloved event was canceled. On a dime, she came thru in a pinch, last minute as in three days before kickoff. Her presentation on Thought Leadership was excellent – customized to the audience, strategically practical, and engaging. Her ratings were in the top three.
