Meeting Moderator
Attempting to facilitate an important meeting
can present a number of challenges, including the following.
- Maintaining objectivity is not easy when you have strong personal
feelings or viewpoints about the meeting's focus — a
meeting facilitator must remain impartial so as not
to force his or her perspective or opinions on the meeting attendees.
- If you are one of the parties in a dispute, any attempt on your part to
facilitate the discussion is likely to be viewed by the other party (or
parties) as biased.
- Your duties as facilitator often limit your opportunities to fully
participate in the active dialog.
- For conferences and large corporate meetings, you need someone who can MC the event
— keeping the event on track and moving along while keeping the participants
interested and engaged.
These are the best reasons for engaging the services of a trained
facilitator. A professional facilitator relieves you of the responsibility for meeting
logistics and flow so you can participate fully. Such a facilitator has no personal
stock in the outcome of the meeting and can, therefore, remain objective throughout.
A professional facilitator is also trained in conflict management — a necessary
skill in meetings where the topic is hot and emotions are high. A corporate
event requires personality and presence to keep participant energy high and focused.
Yvonne Ryan is such a facilitator. She has thousands of hours experience
in meeting facilitation and conflict mediation. She can simplify your life and increase
your group's chances for reaching a successful meeting outcome. In addition to
being discrete and considerate, Yvonne will also keep your meeting on track and
maintain order with a deft hand. Yvonne's sense of humor and stage presence can
make your event memorable.

Audio/Video Conference Moderator
The new telecommunication technologies provide us with fantastic
potential for better worldwide communication. However, moderating an
audio or video conference presents additional and unique
challenges that many leaders have not yet learned to address appropriately. The
opportunities provided by the Internet have only expanded the challenges for
the uninitiated. What do you do when one party wants to dominate the conversation?
How do you keep track of who is speaking? How do you record the session for
later reference or review? How do you arrange the necessary logistics?
What should the "ground rules" be for such communication? Let
Yvonne Ryan help you with these issues and more.

Conflict Mediator
Wherever there are people, there is difference of opinion. Differences
of opinion create opportunities for conflict to arise. Although conflict is inevitable,
it needn't be painful or anxiety-arousing. You and your colleagues can probably manage
most day-to-day conflicts among yourselves. However,
when tempers flare and/or objectivity is lost because all parties are too close to the
situation, it's usually time to call in a third-party mediator to assist conflicting
parties in reaching a satisfactory resolution to their dispute.
Leader's Edge CA can provide a trained
mediator to help resolve these more serious matters.

Learning Facilitator – Live
Your organization may already have learning facilitators
(trainers) on staff, but are they well-versed in working with techies?
Perhaps you've down-sized your Training Department (or never had one).
Whatever the case, Yvonne Ryan, the Techie Leadership Coach, is a resource you can
call upon to work with your technical professionals in any learning situation.
Yvonne employs experiential training techniques and methods
that take into account the varied learning styles of participants.
Yvonne's humor and engaging manner help make learning dry material more
palatable and fun (and, as we all know, people learn better
and retain more when they are fully engaged and having a good time).
As a certified instructor of trainers, Yvonne can also assist your learning
facilitation staff in understanding the techie mind and how to get best results
with techie participants.
If your organization is in need of a dynamic learning facilitator for
teleseminars or live classroom learning experiences, especially where technical
professionals are involved, Yvonne T. Ryan is a resource you'll want to tap.

Team Development Facilitator
Building and developing a high-performance technical team
is a process. Teams rarely (if ever) gel immediately. It takes time and
know-how to help a team become a synergistic entity capable of accomplishing
spectacular outcomes.
Although we at Leader's Edge CA can, with adequate time,
educate and coach your team leaders to better facilitate this evolution, there are
times when refocusing a team requires immediate attention and an experienced hand.
A team development facilitator can help jump-start the
team development process while your leaders come up to speed. If you are in
need of a team coach or an experienced short-term team development facilitator to
get a new or stalled team focused and on track...
