Very well known Exeweb poster
Following on from Hants post I would really like to congratulate Scott on all he has done during lockdown and in particular his skill and style in interviewing. So much so well put together and the genuine ability to get the best out of interviewees by careful preparation, tailored different approaches to different personalities and above all remembering (unlike so many interviewers) that it is about the person being interviewed.
this also applied to chairing the forum. A favourite moment was at the end of the Exiles forum/practice run when with the camera still rolling Scott was congratulated on his chairmanship. And I thought ’I don’t remember Scott saying or doing anything significant’ before realising that the difficult art of chairmanship is like refereeing; it’s the ones you don’t notice who are the really good ones. That forum had been run so well it almost seemed as if it ran itself, a real mark of quality.
