Speaking On Industry Panels​
Panelist
Learn how to shine during panel discussions by confidently sharing your vision and articulately describing the trends you are seeing from your desk to a targeted audience.
You will learn how to:
Tell a compelling story at the open of the panel that engages the audience.
Politely interject and add your point of view when one panelist is permitted to dominate the discussion.
Build professional alliances by referring to comments made by other panelists during the conversation.
Navigate difficult or unfair questions from the moderator by transitioning back to your main messages.
Handle questions from the audience with confidence and grace.
Use body language to appear more confident on stage and on screen.
End on a high note by delivering a soundbite during your last answer.
Moderator
While moderating a panel appears straight-forward to an observer, keeping an on-stage discussion lively and engaging requires extensive preparation. An effective moderator knows how to draw the most relevant industry knowledge out of each panelist and understands that proper pacing is a crucial to the success of the conversation.
These skills can all be learned. In a four-hour workshop, a professional moderator will guide you through several practice rounds in front of a camera.
You will learn how to:
Conduct pre-interviews with panelists.
Deliver effective introductions.
Organize information and questions so you can easily recall them while on stage.
Politely interrupt a panelist who is dominating the discussion.
Time the progression of the conversation so the audience does not lose interest.
Handle questions from the audience.
Summarize the key takeaways.
Wrap up the panel and throw back to the emcee.
