In my 25+ years of calling on Fortune 500 companies in the market research industry, I've been exposed to many moderators and meeting facilitators - both within more traditional focus groups environments as well as within hundreds of high-level executive business meetings. I'd put Marni's facilitation skills in the top 1%. She is an incredible listener, she creates a safe environment for the participants to express what's on their minds, and she has an innate ability to draw upon material raised by the meeting participants and reference outside but related information that raises the quality of the interactions in the meeting to a whole new level. Furthermore, because of her background as an English professor, Marni is more than capable of teaching these exceptional skills to audiences who don't naturally possess these facilitation qualities.
