The parts I found most useful were:One reason I wrote the book is that no one really tells you what to do when you're asked to moderate, and the result is lackluster moderation or panels that get out of control. So I'm glad Cate was able to access the information before embarking on a moderation career!
- The step by step guide to preparing as a moderator – I read it contemplating my first moderator gig and having no idea what to do! (It fell through, so now I’ll have to look for another opportunity to use what I learned.)
- The set of exercises and questions to make the panel less generic.
- Ways to interrupt! Which let’s be honest is useful for women in meetings, too.
