Host Office Hours: Facilitating the Conversation (hangout in the ii Café)

Join Interintellect producer Maria Górska-Piszek for another weekly hangout in the ii Café. This time we’ll talk about what you can expect during the salon itself – or any other questions you have on your mind.

What can I expect during my salon? What do I need to know or prepare in order to avoid awkward hangups and silence? What is a good opening question? Is it possible to build trust between people who only just met for the first time? How should I react when someone shares something deeply personal, asks uncomfortable questions, or simply won’t stop talking?

Let’s make a plan for how to start, moderate and wrap up the conversation so that you feel fully prepared to become an amazing host. If you have some other, completely unrelated questions about hosting, this is the perfect time and place to talk about them too.

This meeting will take place in the ii Café voice channel of the Interintellect Discord and is open to all Interintellect members and hosts. If you don’t have a host account yet, you can create one here for free.
