Kristin Arnold, MBA, CMC, CPF, CSP
The first thing you notice about Kristin is that she is tall. 5′ 10″, to be precise.
You’ll also note her passion for building high performance teams at work. We’re not talking about hold-your-hands, sing Kumbya teams. We’re talking about making team work happen, getting great results, using a smooth process and building meaningful relationships along the way.
For the last fifteen years, Kristin has been the President of QPC, Inc, focusing her energies on facilitating high stakes meetings, speaking to large groups about the power of teamwork, and training others to do what she does - building extraordinary teams at work.
She is the author of several books in the Extraordinary Team Series (Team Basics, Email Basics and Team Energizers) and contributing author to myriad other team-based books such as The IAF Handbook of Group Facilitation. Kristin is also on the faculty in the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto.
Kristin is no primadonna, either. She knows what it takes to lead, facilitate and participate on high performing teams. Kristin was one of the first female graduates of the United States Coast Guard Academy and the first woman stationed onboard the USCGC Buttonwood, a sea-going buoy tender. She currently serves on the National Board of Directors for the National Speakers Association and also served as President of the Downtown Hampton (Virginia) Development Partnership (2001-2), a nonprofit business organization attributed to turning Downtown Hampton from a quaint, sleepy town to a thriving, bustling entertainment, retail and residential center.
And, just in case you were wondering about all the letters beside her name, Kristin is highly credentialed: she has earned the CMC (Certified Management Consultant), the CPF (Certified Professional Facilitator) and the CSP (Certified Professional Speaker).
