Administrative: “There’s a lot of “puppet string pulling” in the Consultant role.  We’re the quality assurance department, event coordinator and scheduling wizard all wrapped into one.  Between scheduling meetings, collecting and managing documents, and helping communication happen effectively and efficiently, our team members would be lost without us.  I remember just joining a new client team and not more than a day in I was asked to schedule 30 senior leader interviews in a matter of weeks.  There are times when it feels like an impossible “thread-the-needle” kind of task to make everyone’s schedules align, but it’s also incredibly rewarding knowing you were the one who made it all happen!”

Back of the Room: “So much goes into the successful execution of a Kotter event, meeting, or presentation- and so many of these things happen behind the scenes.  Great facilitation is enabled by careful preparation, attention to detail, and intentional stakeholder alignment.  Kotter Consultants drive these efforts.”

-Sam Stewart, Senior Consultant, Boston, MA

Front of the Room: “When I began my career at KI, I wanted a very clear path to growth and success.  Although that path hasn’t been direct, it has been filled with opportunity.  One such opportunity for front of the room facilitation experience.  It is virtually unheard of that a Consultant-level employee at a major consulting firm would be given the opportunity for front of the room facilitation so early in their career.  In the past year, I was on a team working with an international client that had employees speaking in more than nine different languages.  The opportunity to facilitate such a diverse audience was invaluable.  One of the greatest pieces of advice given to me by a client regarding front of the room facilitation was to think about the audience:  what do they care about, what are their levels of education, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc.  It is essential that one learns to speak to the audience in a manner that engages and draws them in.”
