Last week
I was a presenter on a panel consisting of three other entrepreneurs
and moderated by a college president – all of us women. It gave
me a chance to revisit the potential power of panel presentations,
so I decided to highlight what I feel made and makes a panel presentation
successful.
If you
are the member of a board of trustees, in a leadership role of a
company or organization, or even a staff member of a company going
through some changes, you have probably attended a retreat or special
off-site meeting. The most successful retreats and/or special meetings
I have been involved with have all had excellent facilitators. The
job of a facilitator is to make sure that the time spent by the
assembled group is worthwhile – this is no small task. If you have
been asked to be a facilitator, you will find some tips in this
article that should help you succeed in this important position.
Once
you are known as someone who handles him or herself well in front
of a group, you will be asked to lead a meeting and/or introduce
the speakers. If you have ever been introduced by an ineffective
emcee, you know how important this position is to the success of
a program. When you accept the position of emcee, you will want
to not only present the others on the program professionally, you
will want to orchestrate the occasion in an exemplary fashion. In
the following article, I will share some ways that will guarantee
your success as an emcee.
This
past week I was listening to a tape by Fred Gleeck, a highly acclaimed,
dynamic speaker from New York. He mentioned that while he was traveling
and giving a large number of presentations, he decided to run his
own survey on what audience members feel are the three most important
qualities of an excellent speaker. If you were asked to rate the
top three qualities of a speaker and/or his or her presentations,
what would they be? His overwhelming response was as follows: number
one is Sincerity, number two is Content and number
three is Humor. How do you rate? We will discuss these qualities
in more depth in this article.
