Selina Larke Herrington

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Avila College in History, English and Education. She has worked with such international organizations as Bristol-Meyers, General Foods, and Hyatt Corporation.

In addition to marketing and instruction, she's active in needs assessment, consulting, and workshop design. She co-designed and instructs such courses as:

She also co-authored the Leader Meeting Practices Survey (L-MPS) and the Participant Meeting Practices Survey (P-MPS), both used in the MEETING-POWER workshop.

Selina is an accomplished meeting designer and facilitator, having planned and facilitated such events as a:

• four-day strategic planning retreat for 40 senior managers

• multi-day retreat for the 30 person MIS department of a major bank, which resulted in ideas that saved $250,000 in the first year alone

Whether consulting, designing, facilitating or instructing she's at ease with workers and managers at all levels. She has a unique ability to draw people to her, put them at ease, and to communicate with them at a very direct, personal level.

She has lived in places as diverse as Fairbanks, Mexico City, and Atlanta. Her travel interests have taken her throughout Canada, the US, Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Guam, New Zealand and Australia. She now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, accompanied by her husband and business partner Dean, and their Official Office Kitty (OOK), Sinja.

When not working, Selina enjoys animals (especially cats and meerkats), reading, interior decorating, flower arranging, traveling, driving the cart and giving advice to Dean as he golfs, and handling the navigation chores when she and Dean go flying together.
