We& #39;re off with a bang — Jennifer Goldberg of @tavanberg announces that we raised a total of $2,097 for the @mediagfs Scholarship. THANK YOU #PandemicU!
#PandemicU @garveyschild: Preparation is ESSENTIAL. It shows respect and honour to the guests entrusting you with their voices. @mediagfs
#PandemicU @HannahSung: Prep is the most important stage because you want to go places together with your guests, make it feel effortless -- even though it& #39;s the furthest thing from it. Prep is the effort for an effortless feel.
#PandemicU @namshine says, "Your job is to direct the conversation. Do your research." Don& #39;t say no to a topic just because you& #39;re not preinformed. Research with genuine curiosity and that will shine through as you learn from each other, like wonderful dinner party conversation.
That said -- sometimes you& #39;re just not the right person for it. @garveyschild says, pass it on to someone capable and deserving of the opportunity. @mediagfs #PandemicU
@namshine encourages everyone to look for those little crumbs that guests leave online -- lectures, social media, early accomplishments, etc. They& #39;ll be more generous with their answers if they know you did your homework. #PandemicU
Hot tip from @garveyschild: In preparing to interview a guest, don& #39;t just follow them on Twitter -- follower their high engagement followers and watch their exchanges in the lead-up. What are they debating? Celebrating? Thinking about these days?
@HannahSung says 4 is the max number of panelists before her job becomes "air-traffic controller."
Proud, self-proclaimed "old broad" @garveyschild says: "If you& #39;re new to this, assert your power now." Don& #39;t let the panel or handlers have their run of the show.
@garveyschild: Be on the same page as the organizers and panel, THEN bring the audience in on the same goal. eg: "So that by the end of the panel, we& #39;ll all have a better idea of how we can move the political dial."
Don& #39;t try to be the smartest person on the stage (cuz you& #39;re not). Just try to be the most curious one on the stage. Let it be a conversation, create a circle of discourse. @mediagfs #PandemicU
