About Jeff Arnold

I am an association leadership strategist who helps association CEOs and their Boards of Directors build world-class strategy, world-class boards and world-class board/staff relationships. My company, Leading Associations, provides training, consulting and management services to associations, showing them how to provide visionary leadership, establish an aspirational culture and produce remarkable results.From strategic planning to executive leadership retreats, I am an experienced facilitator for both large and small groups. Starting with your desired outcome for the session, I am skilled at building consensus, keeping the conversation focused and meaningful, and delivering a high-impact deliverable within an aggressive time-frame, if necessary. I\'m a firm believer in start on-time, end on-time and keeping the conversation directed at the desired outcome, while ensuring all voices are heard.I have a fun and engaging presentation style delivering Leading Associations\' experiential based learning programs, such as \"Building a World-Class Board.\" I deliver content-rich, practical, immediately applicable systems, using real-world examples, not just \"cotton candy\" for the mind. I am an association CEO, not just a consultant. So I\'m speaking not just from past experience but current application. When it comes to what I teach, I \"eat my own dog food.\"
