We're all about keeping it \"real.\" Here's an overview of our approach: Strategy and tactics. We want to unpack the strategy and how-to's of creating great learning solutions, frameworks and teams. CONVERSATIONS, NOT SCRIPTED DISCUSSION Our podcasts are professional but not so edited and polished that they lose their authenticity. We want our audience to hear real people having real conversations and sharing real examples and advice. PROGRESSIVE We want to showcase the \"unsung L&D heroes\" out there doing great work, being brave and trying new things. PRACTICAL We invite our guests to share tips and strategies to help listeners take their solutions to the next level. We aim to provide actionable takeaways for our listeners through show notes, links and downloads wherever possible.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-30T06:20:05.857606+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-uncut-430075"},"episode":{"title":"Elevate 47: The Craft of Conference Chairing – Niall Gavin, Helen Palmer & Anit Mahay","slug":"elevate-47-the-craft-of-conference-chairing-niall-gavin-helen-palmer-anit-mahay","published_at":"2026-04-20T15:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-uncut-430075/elevate-47-the-craft-of-conference-chairing-niall-gavin-helen-palmer-anit-mahay","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-uncut-430075","url":"https://learninguncut.libsyn.com/elevate-47-preparing-speakers-for-a-conference-niall-gavin-helen-palmer-anit-maha","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/learninguncut/Elevate_47.mp3?dest-id=720224","summary":"Most conference chairs open with applause and slip off stage. At Learning Technologies, chairing starts two months before anyone sets foot in the room. In this Elevate episode, Michelle Parry-Slater speaks with three Learning Technologies 2026 chairs: Niall Gavin, Helen Palmer, and Anit Mahay. Join our range of Chairs, both new and experienced, as we discuss what it really takes to prepare speakers for the stage. From reviewing slide decks and managing nerves to handling off-topic questions and being the voice of the audience, this is a masterclass in why the chair role matters far more than most events realize. Whether you organize events, speak at them, or attend them, this one is for you.
