Speakers Hive - Role Players & Templates

We, at Speakers Hive are conducting online and offline meetings regularly. We meet everyweek, to practice communication & leadership skills - learning to adapt to the needs of the modern fast-paced world. 

Each role player gets a mentor assigned to help them effectively play the role. We also do a dry-run once with all the role players to ensure that we have a high quality meeting, with smooth transitions. 

We give opportunity to 20+ speakers in a 60 minutes online meeting, every week. In offline format, our meetings are 90 minutes long and we can accommodate even more speakers.

Take a look at how the roles are played during our weekly meetings in our Speakers Hive Youtube Channel.

Given below are the descriptions about the roles played in a Speakers Hive meeting:

1. Master of Ceremony: Anchors the full meeting, introduces the different role players (based on the meeting theme), ensures smooth transitions and on-time meeting start/end
2. Hive Talks Speaker: Comes prepared with a speech and delivers it at the hive meeting. The speech gets reviewed by a peer-reviewer.
3. JAM Master: Comes with a set of 10 Just-a-Minute Talk questions and selects random participants (non-role players) to answer them. You can also use the JAM Master Kit. It provides you an option to visually show the topic to each speaker, in addition to reading it out. This will be quite useful during the online meetings.
4. JAM Speakers: Random participants will be selected during the meeting from the list of hivers who do not have an assigned role in the meeting (aka non-role-players). 
5. Peer-Reviewer: Highlights what they liked about the prepared speech (3 points) and what can be improved (2 points) in a constructive tone
6. Time Keeper: Shows green / yellow / red cards at different time limits.
7. Wordsmith: Introduces and keeps track of the word of the day usage. Keeps track of the good / not-so-good grammar usage.
8. Votes Counter: Prepares a google form with the names of the role players (during the meeting) and sends out a link to the participants at the end of the meeting to decide who is the best Hive Talks Speaker, JAM Speaker and best Peer-Reviewer.
