5 Tips For Hosting Twitter Spaces As A Professional
In order to be able to host twitter spaces there are certain operational standards, rules, order of activities, manner of coordination, carriage and decorum you need to strictly adhere to and they are.
1. Learn how to pronounce people's names exactly as they are originally pronounced. As the host of the space don't ever tell anyone their names are too long or too hard to pronounce or ask for another name or an english name It is absolutely rude, offensive and disrespectful.
In addition If someone's name is Ebitimi for example, don't ask them can I call you Ebi or Timi,or if their name is Tarelayefa don't suggest to them can I call you Tare or Layefa or do you have another name/an english name I can call you that is much easier to pronounce?
Making such requests/suggestions shows you don't regard their presence and personality on your space. Neither should you allow anyone of your speakers including your co-hosts exhibit such behaviours when they need to address or refer to anyone in the room by mentioning their names, everyone adhere's to the same rules and standards of operation
Except the person chooses to be addressed by different names then you can go ahead and call them whatever different names they choose but it is not in your position as the host, your co-hosts or other speakers to request for other names of a person or suggest for them names you will like to address them by, that is outrightly being rude and disrespectful to them, if people take out time from their schedule to be in your space and find it worthwhile to attend, then it behoves on you to accord them that respect and regards in pronouncing their names correctly as exactly as they are originally pronounced.
The etiquette and professionalism of hosting spaces demands and requires you to accord people the respect of knowing how to pronounce your listeners and speakers names.
2. Conflict resolution is one of the hallmarks of an impeccable host on Twitter Spaces. Be able to resolve conflicts when they arise on your space, don't shove it off and tell the concerned parties to go off and settle the issues privately in their dms, wherever and however they like, if it happened on your space it should be settled on your space.
3. Maintain orderliness in speaking and giving responses in your spaces,so everyone is not talking over each other and creating a noisy atmosphere while the conversations are ongoing.
4. Don't limit yourself by creating a defined circle/clique of people you only interact with, constantly reach out to new people to collaborate with on your space, it refreshes your space and brings fresh energy.
5. Be versatile in hosting your spaces, don't stick to just one pattern, topic, subjects and rule, explore and apply other interesting means of spicing up interactions on your space besides your usual pattern.
