Clubhouse Moderation — A beginner’s guide
Clubhouse is a new audio-only social network that has been gaining huge momentum lately. Since joining, I have been attracted to its unique format. In Clubhouse, there is no video, no text communication, no visual, only voice. You join different rooms that are part podcasts and part group calls. The audience can raise their hands and join the speakers on ‘stage’. I have joined many meaningful discussions from startup investment to company culture to personalities.
During a recent discussion on the topic of introversion, a group of people wanted to learn how to be a better moderator. Many introverts felt awkward in speaking up and running discussions. Being an introvert myself, I felt I could help. Drawing from my experience in interviewing people and running panel discussions in professional events, I put together the following simple guideline for anybody who wants to start moderating Clubhouse rooms.
Another reason that I want to put this guide together is that I love the current culture in Clubhouse. I want to encourage more moderators to run rooms in a structured, polite, and civil manner. Only through structure and politeness could we have deep, meaningful conversations.
