``Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters.``

Margaret Wheatley

“We plan with you and help you deliver great conversations, on topics that matter to you and your stakeholders” – Bertha Dlamini

Session Chairs  and panel moderators are crucial to the success of an event, whether online or virtual- they draw out themes and divergent points of view, they help to create an inclusive and equitable environment.

As a moderator my interest is to create an environment for inspired conversations, it is not for me to showcase my views. I listen and reflect, and encourage participation.

I work with a team of experts to plan for your event, together we follow these steps:

What to expect

You can expect that I will take the role you have given me as a moderator seriously and will diplomatically wield the necessary power  where necessary. My role includes bringing order to an unwieldy group of strangers and somehow unify their disparate perspectives into a meaningful conversation. I achieve this through detailed planning and preparation of panellists and speakers in advance, so they know what to expect.

If necessary I am quick on my feet and can improvise onstage!

My sole mission is to ensure a great audience experience.

I am firm but not over bearing.
