Roy Sheppard Moderating Overview

ROY SHEPPARD – EXPERT HIGH-STAKES, SMALL & LARGE MEETING FACILITATION

No matter why you are holding a small or large meeting that includes genuine discussion and dialogue, it often pays to bring in a well-briefed, experienced external facilitator like Roy to keep everyone focused and moving forward towards a common goal. When the stakes are high – Roy can be trusted to deliver.For those meetings where there’s an ‘elephant in the room’ that needs ‘managing’.

So, if you have a meeting or conference which may (or should) include some ‘difficult’ conversations, but you or your senior team are afraid to address them, Roy can help you. And then guide everyone during the event. Roy has worked on conferences and meetings that were highly-charged – such as mass redundancies, hostile mergers and other ‘bad news’ scenarios.

Roy Sheppard has also facilitated countless ‘deep-dive’ corporate, not-for-profit, public-sector and medical advisory boards.

ROY SHEPPARD – HIGH-STAKES ADVISORY BOARDS FOR SMALL, SENIOR EXECUTIVE GROUPS.

Roy has many years’ experience chairing complex medical and technology advisory boards for global corporations.

I have met, and experienced, Roy on numerous occasions over the years … he has moderated our HP Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) NonStop Customer Council, a gathering of C-level executives of our most important HP NonStop EMEA customers, where Roy was the facilitator for this 2-day meeting. This is not a marketing meeting!

This meeting serves as an important evaluation of the business relationship HP NonStop has with these customers; positive as well as negative, and always highly sensitive, information gets discussed in this, at times, highly charged meeting. Roy’s role as facilitator for this meeting requires him to be sensitive to the issues being presented, add himself in where the meeting is heading into a “dead-end”, and equally important, he knows when to just be quiet and let things flow!  One of his welcome trademarks is his knack for asking difficult questions, which, for whatever reason, are not being asked (either of the customer or of HP NonStop). His keen sense of timing, his ability to think on his feet, add humour when appropriate or required, all have made Roy a welcome repeat host for not just our HP NonStop customer council, but other events as well! Roy understands, that the facilitator role is not a “show-case” for him, but a role to make the meeting the best it can be.   His personality and professionalism put the organizers at ease, and creates excitement in, and for, the audience, wondering what he will do or say next! I encourage you to experience him yourself in one of your next events. You and your event will be better for it!  Mike Hurst, Director, Global Field Marketing/Business Development, HP.
