How do you create the best panel experience? Viv talks to professional moderator, Alexandra Antwi-Boasiako, about managing nerves, getting the best out of interviewees on stage and handling feedback.

Based in her home city of Hamburg, Germany, Alexandra hosts an array of sessions – from author interviews to tech start-up pitch events and festivals such as the African Book Festival in Berlin.

It's about taking charge of a space in a way that makes everyone relax.

And while it all seems to come naturally, Alexandra hasn't always been so confident in front of an audience. In fact at school she was known as the quiet kid. Find out what made the difference and set her on a different path, picking up some priceless tips along the way.

Viv's new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is out now.
