So, what was your experience being a host at our latest webinar, talking obviously to the
camera, but abroad trying to coordinate with three different rooms actually at one point
in time?
I think for me, being a host is definitely something that I'm trying out for the new for
the first time and it is great fun. I was a bit nervous at the beginning in terms of
kind of memorizing your lines and really being, I think a host can really make or break the
whole webinar and it's a conversation that I've had with many webinar experts who are
really saying that the role of the host is to kind of guide the whole webinar throughout,
having that kind of red thread and flow. So it is an important part and I'm very much
looking forward to getting better at it even. So always welcome for all kinds of feedback
and yeah, just working on that. So can you share a little bit on the pieces of advice that you've
received from other webinar experts in terms of the role of a host? Yeah, so definitely I'm a
person who speaks very quickly sometimes. So kind of having that idea that it's okay to speak slower
and even though it might sound in your own head that you are very slow and there's an awkward
silence actually makes it completely natural when the others are listening to it. So being able to
kind of just take a deep breath in your mind and count to two or three and then kind of continuing
on to the next topic. And I think that has been also another point that we kind of talked with
the webinar experts and they were saying kind of structuring the webinars into different phases
so that the audience has an easier time to actually follow and know at what part or at what section of
the webinar they are at. And so having a very clear intro welcome and talking about the housekeeping
on its own kind of section and then actually mentioning that okay now we are going into the
questions, into the interview, whatever is the format that you're working on.
Definitely was something that helped me also for myself to structure it.
