Tegan draws on her deep knowledge of wellbeing neuroscience, positive psychology, emotional intelligence and more to ensure her presentations and conversations are enlightening and practical.
The term 'fireside chat' describes a conversational event where the audience observes a conversation unfold between at least two guests or a panel of presenters. The host or interviewer asks the guest speaker/s targeted questions that they believe the audience will find interesting and informative. This helps attendees to gain valuable insights in a quick timeframe. In some cases, there is an option for audiences to contribute to the questions and answers.
Fireside chats enable you to reach a larger audience online in a more relaxed and personal way than a virtual classroom or webinar, and a low level of time commitment is required by staff (approximately 30 minutes).
We recommend that the fireside chat is hosted by a senior staff member or executive that is well known in your organisation and has some experience/interest on the discussion topic.
The Oranges Toolkit fireside topics can be tailored to meet your organisation's wellbeing plan, event and needs. Potential topics include:
The Oranges Toolkit will coordinate a preparation meeting with the executive, CEO or People and Culture leader who will be leading the fireside conversation. Here we will confirm the agenda, delivery format, key challenges and messages that will be explored in the fireside session and promotion/coordination of the event. We recommend:
Following the Iive broadcast event, the recording of the chat can be shared with your employees for a period of 28 days, giving them to opportunity to catch-up on the session if they missed it.
Note: If it is possible for both presenters to be in the same room together at an in-person event (perhaps by an actual fireside!), we will explore this separately and it may incur additional costs (such as travel and production costs).
