Facilitator Guidelines
- Documents to read: Description and Value Proposition, Objectives
- Stay on the call for the “Cool Down” period afterwards if at all possible.
- Help me by your own “Word of Mouth” marketing, which is how my programs spread.
- I run the call. In VCall parlance, I’m the “presenter”, i.e., control the screen see the hands raised, messages sent etc. Only one person can be presenter @ a time and switching is awkward!
- It’s imperative to connect via phone beforehand re. the whole process and possible issues.
- 3 or 4 slides are max. for the limited amount of time available. Should be posted ahead and forwarded to those who have accepted the calendaring notice.
- I’ll generate some?’s for polling, and post them ahead, and also have some ?’s or comments to interject , hoping to engage more of the participants.
- Some of these will be directed towards those on the call.
- I need a digital essay or business bio., to circulate ahead, & show briefly during introduction and post on Ecto.
- Please specify what feedback you might like from the call.
- This is not a “speech”…… and requires frequent “pauses” [which always seem too long when you’re pausing], and more careful listening than usual. It’s a very different media, but one much more frequently to be used in the future, I believe!
- I will often interrupt the person I have asked to do this, both in an interviewing process, and to call on participants.
- Brevity of expression, i.e., very short sentences, no more than 4 in a row, is not only important, it’s crucial to the value of virtual calls.
- I will send out contact information and materials with the personalized feedback form immediately after each call.
- I also want direct, full, feedback on your involvement/preparation/our Execution [as if you were a participant, please]
