Ellen Weber has some amazing gifts for facilitating inspiring meetings. No one touches her skills to crank up brainpower from entire groups. And she ends right on time or even early. On a whim, I jotted down several strategies Ellen seemed to pull from a hat to make this happen.
Ellen was amazed to see these listed so I encouraged her to write a book. Since many folks agonize about ways make meetings effective, whether a participant or facilitor, it seemed like a winner. When Ellen saw the list, her creativity hit the top with ideas that would not wait. She hunted and pecked vehemently to type the first draft.
Strategies in the book [in press] are written for leaders and learners who expect more brainpower for innovation at meetings. If you were to use this book [in press] to guide your next meeting, what topics would you like to see addressed?

What is the best way to calm a by-polar coustomer? This is an issue I need to cover with my employees.
Warren, I can offer some general principals which will help divert the area of the brain highly activated by switching to a different area of focus. Please to keep in mind that there are many other possibilities that may work better with some individuals since humans are all very unique.
1. Start by using a soothing voice - calm brings more serotonin - a brain chemical of well-being
2. Avoid cornering the person
3. Use music - Music moves human brain waves and can help change moods quickly. Change music on speaker system to something soothing
4. Offer a cup of tea - often calms a person
5. Give them a piece of paper on which to write down a solution for the issue and assure them that you will have it exactly right for the person who takes care of matter - Writing helps people to know and to sort out issues. Solutions coming from the person can bring resolution.
Keep in mind that I am not a medical doctor and as stated earlier, individuals are all different - so may need one, a combination of these or even something entirely different as a way to help.
One more thing, it is best not to touch the person because that might be upsetting.
Hope these help.
