Panel Discussion Training
Panel discussion training. For teams or individuals, either in-person or online
"Say yes to panel discussion training and get known, liked and trusted!"
When you say yes to taking part in a panel discussion, as a contributor or moderator, you get to shake hands with the whole room in one go. Do a great job of it and you are instantly seen as someone with expertise, with your organisation getting noticed for what it does too.
But many people shy away from this incredible opportunity because they're unsure about what to expect or they worry they'll not get their points across.
Like most things however, as soon as we get some practical experience and professional guidance under our belt, our concerns vanish.
"People who shine when they take part in panel discussions put their organisation at an immediate advantage."
Engage audiences by being relatable and memorable.
Learn how to efficiently prepare what to say, and respond brilliantly to audience questions.
Show diversity and include a range of company representatives to appear on panels.
Take full advantage of opportunities for exposure.

Incredibly useful
We found the chairing and panel training from Penny incredibly useful, both for individuals who had some good experience of chairing and contributing to panels, but also for beginners. Penny immediately gained credibility with the group of directors and senior managers with her strong broadcast and chairing background, alongside the interactive nature of the discussion.
Tim Reid, Customer Relationship Director, NHBC
Changed my mindset from blind panic to looking forward to the event
I met with Penny over zoom for two coaching sessions leading up to a panel I was moderating, and in only two sessions she has changed my mindset from blind panic to me actually looking forward to the event. I highly recommend!
