#Panel Discussion

Get ready to screenshot my notes for crushing it as a panelist 📲 Notes: 👉How to be a great panelist 👉What not to do on a panel 👉How to make the most out of your panel experience I’m always shocked at how many people don’t know what the hell to do when they get invited to speak on a panel. Panels are such an awesome way to get great content, make relationships and get other speaking opportunities. Being a great panelist is absolutely a skill that every expert should master! Hopefully my personal notes to myself are helpful for you ❤️

Another “pinch-me” moment for 2024! 😱💥 @Meta invited me to be part of a panel discussion at their iconic space where I shared my journey as an #Instagram creator. It hit me just how long ago I posted my first-ever IG pic (my shoe collection) that somehow landed me on the Popular page—back when Explore wasn’t even a thing. Being a creator often looks glamorous on the outside, but there are a lot of behind-the-scenes realities that aren’t always discussed. Here are a few things no one tells you: 1. It’s emotionally draining: Constantly creating, editing, and engaging can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. You’re not just putting out content; you’re putting out pieces of yourself. It’s easy to feel burnt out, especially if you’re trying to keep up with trends or meet your audience’s expectations. 2. You’ll face rejection: Even if you put out great work, not every piece will hit. There will be times when content flops, or you’ll face criticism, or worse—no feedback at all. It can feel demotivating, but it’s all part of the process. 3. You’re running a business: Being a content creator isn’t just about making cool stuff. It involves branding, marketing, contracts, finances, and sometimes customer service. Many creators juggle this on top of creating content, which can be overwhelming. 4. Success doesn’t happen overnight: Despite the viral success stories, most content creators spend years honing their craft, experimenting with what works, and building an audience. Growth is slow and requires patience, persistence, and adaptability. 5. You’ll get distracted by metrics: It’s easy to obsess over numbers—views, likes, shares, and follower counts. But focusing too much on metrics can take away from the joy of creating and lead to unhealthy comparisons. At the end of the day, being a creator is a deeply personal journey. Speaking from experience, it comes with both rewards and sacrifices, and it’s important to set boundaries and prioritize your well-being along the way. #Meta #paneldiscussion #contentcreator

A snapshot from my panel discussion last week at the @fiiksa in Miami. 🎙️ #FII #Miami #paneldiscussion #middleeast

VOLUME UP ⬆️ I had the pleasure of speaking alongside some visionaries and thought leaders at the first annual Inspire to Excel Event organized by @abiolainspires. It was a knowledge packed, thought provoking, mindset shifting experience. I learnt more than I bargained for and I hope you also take away a few nuggets from these clips. My highlight was the pitch competition and being opportuned to witness the level of hardwork and innovation that Nigerian entrepreneurs possess. I live it daily (the good, the bad and the ugly) but to have seen that degree of resilience and persistence in some of the contenders…. who am I to ever lose hope lol. Once again thank you to everyone for your immense support and here’s to many more opportunities for Impact despite the odds 🙏🏽 Outfit - @elizabethanworld Hair - @goodhairltd #inspiretoexcel #theentrepreneurshipjourney #speaker #paneldiscussion #impact #inspire #grow #learn #educate

Here’s what most people get wrong about debating. World debate champ Julia Dhar says the foundation of debate is rebuttal—it’s not just making claims, it’s responding and engaging directly. At first, she thought the best debaters had to be extreme, able to make polarizing ideas sound good. But actually, she realized, the strongest persuaders start by finding common ground. They focus on what everyone can agree on—no matter how small—and use that shared understanding as the foundation. This shared reality is what pushes back against the confusion caused by alternative facts. Here’s the tip: face-to-face conversations make a difference. Hearing someone’s voice helps us see them as human and encourages us to truly listen instead of just arguing. #Politics #Communication #TED #Tips #Debate #Advice

“To be a great moderator, you have to be smarter than your panelists.” I disagreed, until I understood. It’s not about ego. It’s about preparation, precision and listening deeply. To being smart 👊🏾 #thedialoguecatalyst #hosting #moderation #listeningskills #commandingthestage
