Natalia Tafur has over 15 years of experience using research results and activating them on the client side. In addition, I have over 10 years experience moderating several types of qualitative research from focus groups to one-on-one interviews.

Natalia founded Keyhole Research and Consulting out of a passion to apply a tangible human element to research and convert research findings into easily-digestible and actionable insights. Her areas of expertise include product design, concept testing, quality, luxury and customer journey. She has a deep understanding of generational cohorts, as well as societal and cultural macrotrends. Her methodologies include focus groups, one-on-one interviews, ethnographies and online diaries and surveys.

Areas that Natalia Tafur can provide expertise and clarity in:

1. Here are some of my business objectives, how can research help me achieve these objectives?
2. Can you review some questions I would like to include in a DIY online survey?
3. How can I find the right research respondents to answer my survey?

Hera Hub Tuesday Accountability Group
(Get those goals, gals!)

Here's how the group will run —

Brief introductions around the circle - 2-3 sentences of who you are and what you do (10 min total)

Divided up time so each person gets 5 minutes (depending on group size) to lay out:
* What they accomplished from their list of tasks and goals last week
* What they are putting on their list for this week
* Any requests for resources or connections
(approx 30-45 min depending on group size for this section)

Last section of the meeting is open for anyone to ask for help with a business challenge.�(15-30 min as needed)

Meeting should be contained within 1.5 hours. If we complete early, we end early so we can get to work!

Helpful Group Interaction Guidelines —

1. Respect confidentiality — what other people share about their lives belongs to them and should stay with them.

2. Be present in the moment — keep devices to a minimum and stay attentive to whoever has the floor.

3. Hold yourself accountable to your own journey — only you can create the change you want.

4. Ask for what you want clearly and specifically — especially when it comes to how you’d like the group to support you.

5. Speak respectfully, without blaming, shaming, or fixing.

6. Ask permission before offering feedback or advice — if someone hasn’t specified, it’s best to start with “what kind of support would you like right now?”

7. Be willing to allow for mistakes — yours and other people’s.

8. Make space for humor and the unexpected — keeping an open mind allows for the flow of miracles.

9. Be on time and stay until the end — this helps everyone feel valued and respected.

10. Please mute all electronics — use vibrate if you have to be on call for anything critical.

Get ready to state your goals, then work toward your goals in 25 min chunks of time with the virtual support of other Hera Hub members. No need to look pretty; just have your to-do list ready and arrive ready to work for as long as your schedule allows. Hope to see you there!

Check our private Facebook page for upcoming topics!

Writer’s Lounge is simply a way to carve out time and space to write in a comfortable environment. Members enjoy the sense of accountability to work on writing their blog, bio, book, or…

Each week one of our professional writers will be on site to help give you input/feedback. Simply write alone or swap writing projects with others.

Be encouraged, inspired, and held accountable by your peers! What else will get you writing regularly?
