Leadership Matters: Making the Moment Matter Online
People seldom think about the role of the host - until it's their turn! Yet the host, MC, or facilitator of an event plays a key leadership role. In this session, David Newland shares insights gained from 35 years of experience as an event and expedition host. Learn how holding space, and calling attention to the moment, brings out the best of the audience, presenters, and even theme!
