FACILITATING MEETINGS

"When I hired Amy Damianakes to facilitate two Cisco meetings, she came with excellent references.  However, experiencing Amy at work in the sessions spoke much louder than the references.  Her ability to facilitate difficult meetings is outstanding and this becomes clear during her meeting preparation.  The preparation includes a structured approach to asking pertinent questions to prepare for the session. One of Amy's unique skills is her capability to come up to speed on a new topic, including all the associated acronyms.   During the meetings, her professionalism is exceptional and she appropriately keeps the room on track to meet the stated objectives.  When necessary, Amy is able to adapt to changes in the approach to insure the meeting goals are achieved."
