What are we going to do?

Practice, practice and practice even more. Practicing is the only way of mastering the job of being a moderator. In two intensive days we train all the basic skills of the job.

Tone, pace and style Pick the right dynamic in any situation.

Moderation You will gain experience with techniques & tricks that will help you to bring participants get into real conversations with each other.

Q&A How to manage a room full of questions? How to make sure the content remains on target?

Nightmares Every moderator will encounter challenges. The unstoppable speaker, the silent crowd, the endless question, verbal aggression ... we will cover them all.

Interviewing No matter if you're interviewing one person, moderating a panel or engaging a large audience, the on-stage interview is a profession in itself.

Stage Presence How is your appearance on stage and which vibe do you give your audience? You want to feel confident and move smoothly through the room.

MC-ing How to write good announcements & introductions? You’ll learn how to make content-driven choices, how to choose the right tone.

Meeting design What is your role in the event? How will you deploy interaction and your skills effectively?

Panel Moderation This is one of the most chosen ánd one of the most problematic types of conversation in meetings & events. We will teach you how to make it work and how to align content ánd energy.

Gamification More often, playful formats are chosen to present content. You will learn to find your inner show-host, when a quiz or awardshow needs to be presented.

The many faces of a moderator you are Master of Ceremony, interviewer, (talk)show-host, debate-leader, meeting designer, quizmaster ... and so much more.

Tricks of the trade A long list of small, yet very important tips & trics.

In the workshop, you will play multiple, alternating roles: that of the moderator, the participant, the speaker, the meeting-owner. Everything you learn will also be applicable online.
We will work in various work formats, so you will learn how to use and moderate those on the go.
