SOME GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
– Pick a topic of interest to you and that will be interesting to your classmates/target market
– Topic should be relevant to elements of course that validate, explore, or may even dispute them
– Consider thinking global but picking local
– Be creative!!! Challenge yourselves (How would you manage a Cruise ship? Bronx Zoo? UN?)
– Consider recruiting a mentor for your Team
– Recruit 1-4 speakers. Too many doesn’t give everyone a chance to speak. Too few may be dimensionally limited
– When soliciting speakers listen carefully and judge to how they will present in class
– Ask them if you they would like to come in a little earlier than 8:40AM to share a cup of coffee the morning of the presentation. Don’t miss an opportunity to network. Hopefully you are picking your speakers because you find them interesting. Save your receipts and turn in to TAs for reimbursement.
– Speakers should be relevant to theme, course
– Go for diversity ( large v small, corporate v service, local v. global), brand names
– Partner- look to Professional Associations (Women n Wall Street), organizations/clubs on Baruch Campus (Grad Clubs- Women’s MBA, Alums, EOC)
– Watch the newspaper, news for relevant topics/themes, speakers (Crain’s Magazine- Book of Lists: Crain’s 40 under 40, Crain’s Largest Privately owned Companies in NYC)
– Consider asking Panelists how they would prefer to proceed, if they would prefer to be on panel with someone else
– Make sure everyone is clear how Agenda/Panel discussion will work
– In general
– 9:05AM Class Panel discussion
– Opening statement
– 10:00AM Class Q.& As
– 10:10AM Closing statement by student
– 10:15AM Professor‘s comments
– Give panelists 5+ questions in advance
– Questions should be relevant to course and leading to a conclusion
– Assign team members to chat up every speakers when they arrive. They mat be uncomfortable. Introduce them to other speakers. They often like to network themselves.
– Speaker often enjoy a mini tour of Baruch before or after the panel presentation (Check in with College’s Ambassador Program)
– Your opening statement should set the context of what the students are about to hear. Your Closing should remind them of the key points they have heard.
– Pay attention to what’s going on. Listen to their answer when you ask them a question. Don’t shuffle papers or be thinking of the next question. Be in the moment with reflective listening.
– Provide instructions for admittance to Security. Use Template on Wiley.
– Watch the clock! Monitor the use of time during Panel discussions
– Put team member in back of room to encourage speakers to speak louder if they are speaking to softly. Give panelist 5 and 1 minute warning sign.
– As we move thru successive panels, learn and improve on weaknesses
– Loosen up. Relax and enjoy. Make this ‘edutaining’

SOME GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FROM PREVIOUS STUDENTS (see posted comments from Fall 2009, Spring 2010 class)
– Start soliciting speakers from day 1
