- [FAQ](https://adriannecarter.com/faq/): It is important not to mislead people about what the consultant is there for and to be proactive is explaining the value to everyone of moving more speedily and easily to an agreement based on the best understanding of what people want and value. The consultant can interact openly, offering suggestions or rewording comments to help tease out what works best, or can communicate privately through breakouts. Use of text messages is possible but must be done with care to avoid unease in the other party. Video calls present an easy solution, with options to stand back with video off, to communicate directly (on the shared medium or on a different side channel). Whatever the approach, the only premise for MIS is in helping to support a win/win situation. Helping clients and their clients work out how to get to the win/win is one of our core values. As a communications expert I can help everybody understand the unspoken content in meetings. It is very normal for meetings to be held with consultants on either side of the table.
