RESET Your Buttons: Enhancing Government Meeting Planning
What's pushing your buttons?
Why is RESET Your Buttons, Model, Method, and Mindset Crucial for Government Meeting Planners today?

Today's Government Meeting Planner faces increased complexities and pressure to get it right. They have to be better prepared to meet the needs of multiple perspectives and balance diverse stakeholders' interests while adapting to the new challenges of today's technology. Included in their toolkit is the need for increased empathy and practical, in-the-moment conflict resolution skills to resolve disagreements constructively.

The government landscape constantly evolves, and planners must adapt to new challenges and opportunities by understanding the factors that can trigger negative emotions and disrupt the meeting planning process and meeting. By understanding the RESET Your Buttons model and applying its principles, government meeting planners can better navigate the complexities of their role, manage stress effectively, and create more productive and successful meetings.
