Leadership teams today are busier than ever — but busy is not the same as strategic. In this episode, Kristin Arnold revisits the concept of Park Time: the discipline of stepping away from day-to-day operations long enough to think clearly, gain perspective, and reconnect strategy to reality. You'll learn why nonstop activity often erodes strategic thinking, how leadership teams lose perspective when they stay buried in operations, and why intentional pauses may be one of the most valuable disciplines modern leaders can practice. In This Episode: What "Park Time" really means for leadership teams Why consuming information is not the same as strategic thinking The hidden dangers of nonstop operational focus How strategy quietly drifts over time Why functional optimization can hurt enterprise performance The connection between perspective and better decision-making Memorable Moments: "Consuming information is NOT the same thing as thinking strategically." "You mistake motion for progress." "In a world obsessed with speed, perspective becomes a competitive advantage." Powerful Question to Ask Your Leadership Team: "When was the last time we truly stepped back to think — not just react?"

Ever notice how smart, capable people somehow become strangely cautious and predictable once a meeting starts? You're not imagining it. In this episode, Kristin Arnold explores why intelligent teams often produce shallow thinking in group settings — and why the issue usually isn't the people. It's the meeting design. You'll learn how subtle meeting dynamics shut down independent thought, encourage groupthink, and reward safe agreement over rigorous thinking. More importantly, you'll discover practical ways high-performance teams structure conversations to draw out better ideas, stronger dissent, and smarter decisions. In This Episode: Why smart people don't automatically think well together How meetings unintentionally create groupthink The hidden power of "Think First, Talk Second" Why leaders should often speak last How better questions improve team thinking Why dissent is essential for high-performance teams Memorable Moments: "You're not hearing the best thinking. You're hearing the safest thinking." "Meetings are not just conversations. They are systems." "You start with gold and somehow end up with oatmeal." Powerful Question to Ask Yourself: "Is my meeting design encouraging independent thinking… or just faster agreement?"

In this episode, panel expert Kristin Arnold explains how emcees and panel moderators can partner effectively to deliver a seamless, polished event. She outlines how advance communication, clear role definitions, and coordinated transitions prevent awkward handoffs and keep the program flowing smoothly. When emcees set the stage and moderators facilitate a lively, audience-focused conversation, the event feels cohesive and professional. The result? A better experience for the audience and fewer surprises for everyone on stage.

In this episode, panel expert Kristin Arnold shares a rookie mistake that still makes her cringe: mispronouncing her panelists' last names during introductions—even though she knew them well. She explains why getting names right is a core sign of respect and a key part of making panelists look brilliant and audiences feel valued. Kristin then walks through her simple system to avoid slip-ups: confirm pronunciation in advance, write names phonetically, practice out loud, double-check backstage, and honor each person's preferred form.   

In this episode, panel expert Kristin Arnold shares how moderators can confidently handle hostile, aggressive, or confrontational audience questions. Rather than getting flustered, Kristin recommends staying calm, acknowledging the concern, and reframing the question into something constructive the panel can address. She also explains when to set boundaries, redirect unproductive energy, or intervene to protect the panelists and the audience experience. With the right techniques, even challenging moments can lead to clarity, insight, and meaningful dialogue. Learn more here.

Happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today we have two guests, Kristin Arnold and Sheldon Kerr, founders of Moxie Mountain Guides. I was super excited to finally pinned them down from their busy schedule to have this conversation. When I edited this episode, I paused multiple times to reflect and ask myself questions. What is a guide? What is a good guide? What are the so-called soft skills and how do they play a role in risk management? I learned so much from them and I'm so happy that they started Moxie.Both Kristin and Sheldon are IFMGA mountain guides. IFMGA stands for International Federation of Mountain Guides Association, and their certification is the highest credential attainable by a professional mountain guide. As of spring 2024, they are 2 of 17 total women IFMGA in the US. Together they created Moxie Mountain Guides to align the profession of guiding with their values. Let me share a quote from their website “We guide for good. We believe representation matters. We want the mountain to be inclusive space for women, non-binary and trans-identifying backcountry athletes – no matter your body type, race, or gender.” Moxie strives to break down the social and financial barriers to accessing high-end technical instruction.Kristin and Sheldon are also AMGA Instructor Team members. They teach AMGA mountain guide programs, including women's Rock Guide course. I heard encouraging stories from their students and was curious to learn more about their philosophy and approach. In this episode we had a deep dive into what affinity space does, why inclusion is a fundamental component of risk management, how we should advocate equality and justice, and what professionalism means to guides. You will recognize their voices very quickly when you start listening, but to give you a head start. The first person talked was Kristin. Without further ado, let's go and enjoy the Moxie ride!
