1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:07,170
Before we really set our goals for the panel presentation beyond the idea of coming across well and

2
00:00:07,170 --> 00:00:12,360
communicating some ideas and being remembered you've got to know the ground rules of the panel so you

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:19,320
should always ask the person who is invited you to be on the panel or if it's your own organization

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:25,130
your own event you need to know exactly what the ground rules are a panel discussion could mean you've

5
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:26,890
got two panelists.

6
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:33,900
And each person stands talks for 30 minutes then has sort of cross talk with the other panelists.

7
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,490
Then you take questions from an audience.

8
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:37,710
That's one way of doing it.

9
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:41,650
A panel could be you and ten people.

10
00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:47,210
Nobody has a set speech and all you do is answer questions.

11
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:54,810
Now the more common way would be something in between where each panelist is overall opening remarks

12
00:00:54,810 --> 00:01:01,380
for five minutes or so and then you take questions but you've got to find that out.

13
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:07,020
So I need you to either try to find out the next time you'll be on a panel exactly what the ground rules

14
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:14,040
are or decide right now what the ground rules should be for your practice session that we're about to

15
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:14,880
do so right.

16
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,300
The ground rules down.

17
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:21,740
How long do you have to speak in a sort of set way at the beginning.

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,350
And how long will the whole thing be.

19
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:27,820
How many other panelists will be there.

20
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,300
Will you be standing or sitting.

21
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:32,710
Now it shouldn't make a difference.

22
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,910
But I want you to know in advance so you can practice standing or sitting.

23
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,790
Based on what it will be like for the real panel So write down the ground rules.

24
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:42,230
Now.
