Today, I share my personal framework that has helped me host engaging and lively panel discussions.
I break it down into four essential parts that I call the 4Ps. By the end of our chat, you’ll see how a bit of preparation and a clear vision can make all the difference.
1. Philosophy
I start by explaining how having a strong vision and clear values sets the tone for your panel. I talk about why balancing diverse viewpoints and keeping the audience’s interests front and centre matters to you and your panelists.
2. Preparation
I dive into the nitty-gritty of doing your homework—researching your topic, getting to know your panelists, and crafting sharp introductions. You’ll hear how I go the extra mile to get familiar with every detail that can enhance your discussion.
3. Pre Briefing
Next, I highlight the importance of connecting with your panelists before the event. I share my approach to setting expectations through a quick email or video, ensuring that everyone’s on the same page before the spotlight hits.
4. Performance
Finally, I take you through what happens on the day. I explain how you can keep the conversation dynamic and engaging, making sure that every moment on stage truly counts.
I hope you enjoy these insights and feel inspired to try out these steps for your own panel events.
Remember, a bit of planning goes a long way in making your panel conversations memorable.
