Presenting, moderating and chairing
I enjoy the challenge of working live – from presenting ideas to chairing an event or hosting an award ceremony. When chairing I aim not only for things to go smoothly and to time but to keep it on topic and really come alive.
I particularly enjoy facilitating events and creating experiences that bring people together to form new conversations and ideas, or to tell stories.
For your event this can mean a higher level of engagement, better questions to panelists, more buzz in the coffee break, increased networking and a stronger sense of participation.
