Good telesummit hosts aren’t born, they’re trained. Okay, maybe that sounds a bit cliche, however, not everyone can be an effective telesummit host.

Some of you may be saying that you speak in front of large crowds or you train people for a living, so you’d have no problems facilitating virtual sessions. Well, I’ve seen some of the best speakers and trainers fall apart trying to host a virtual event because they can’t “feel” the energy from attendees, nor can they see them.
