In live TV thereβs no going over your agenda. You have to keep your audience glued to their screen. Itβs your job to weave between interview guestsβwithout anyone feeling like theyβre being cut off. You have to bring in a range of voices, not just the loudest.
After working with Fortune 500 executives to lead and communicate more effectively, Iris Mansour realized that meetings were a huge source of pain, frustration, and money-loss (β approximately $39 billion a year β the annual cost of bad meetings to U.S. companies).
So she started to train business leaders in the moderation, presentation, and audience engagement techniques she learnt in her first career as a TV reporter at Reuters TV and international media. Clients saw meeting length decrease and engagement increase.
In this session youβll learn to:
- Run shorter virtual and hybrid meetings.
- Keep participants engaged throughout.
- Have presence and inspire through a screen and in-person.
- Redirect a conversation if it goes off-track.
- Increase collaboration, bringing in the best, brightest, and overlooked β not just the loudest.
