Professional meeting facilitator Kristin Arnold suggests when moderating a panel you start strong at the beginning with an attention-getter (e.g., video, poll, etc.). Then give each panelist an opportunity give an idea, position, or challenge by using:
- Challenging questions
- Opinions for and against an idea
- Prop that helps the audience understand the panel's topic
At attention,
