Great points! Also starting on time and ending on time. Attendees and speakers appreciate the promptness and it keeps all following sessions on time as well, making for a smoother event.
I’ve moderated a number of panels over the years, and I sometimes return back to podcasts or RU-vid to advance my practice. This has been the best and most informative version. It offers a great perspective on having a fantastic flow that most likely resonates well with an audience.
Great tips. Thank you so much! I'm designing a panel of 5 rookie panelits, and I think of presenting on a slide the 2 or 3 questions each panelist will snswer in 5 min, including tell us s story... Then once they are done, ask just one question about an opportunities from their perspective to elaborate in 1 min. Then audience Q&A. How this dynamic looks to you? Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for sharing this fantastic video with us, Scott. I applied your tips during a recent fireside chat and received such great feedback. One person told me it was the best fireseide he has been to, and that he has attended many! Thank you, Scott!
This is super helpful! I'm prepping a moderator and guest for an upcoming fireside chat. I plan to include your video in my prep materials. As always, great job!
TY for sharing this information, I will be doing a Fire side moderator in a few days and watching this was very helpful. DO you have additional tips on how to prepare to do an interview?
Going in to moderate a panel for the first time in my life infront of a live audience! This is great! Thank you so very much. Especially for those anecdotal “how to say it samples”! I’m gonna listen to it a few more times including the day of! You awesome 👏 😊
Absolutely great tips, I will use this method next week in UK where I will be moderating a panel discussion. If I remember I'll check back in and let you know how it went :)
Thank you so much Scott! Combining this awesome idea with what I learned from Kristin Arnold's 7 part RU-vid lessons about moderating, my very first ever panel was the most talked-about session among the C level attendees of the conference. I did trash about 30 index cards to get one right but an outstanding 'hack' for any moderator.
