Moderating is hard! After hosting more than 2000 events, our team has uncovered the unique blend of skills that make a great moderator. Whether you're leading a panel discussion or hosting a webinar, here are our 3 top tips to elevate your moderating game to the next level. 1. Name Drop - Using names frequently helps establish an intimate atmosphere and allows you to give participants a ‘heads up” before bringing them into the conversation. 2. Easy Does It - Begin with inclusive, low-stakes questions. Choose one that everyone can answer easily. 3. Look For Cues - Pay attention to participants' body language. Look for signs of engagement such as nodding, leaning forward, or taking notes. #OrtusClub #KnowledgeSharing #roundtable #discussion #events
