Hey there, Zoom hosts! We know how tricky it can be to keep folks engaged in live training sessions. If you're hosting a session on Emotional Intelligence, it's super important to keep that chat alive and bustling. When your audience is engaged, they learn more and remember better. Plus, a lively session means everyone's getting the most value out of it. Let me show you how StreamAlive's got the tools to make your session unforgettable.

Put Their Locations on the Map!

Starting your session with Magic Maps is like hitting play on a global meet-and-greet. Ask your participants, 'Where in the world are you today?' and watch as their answers light up the map. It sets a friendly tone right from the start. In an Emotional Intelligence session, you could switch it up and ask something like, 'Which city inspires your inner zen?' or 'Name a place that makes you feel your best self.' This little exercise not only breaks the ice but helps everyone feel like they're part of a worldwide community, boosting that all-important engagement.

Let Their Voices Be Heard with Opinion Polls

Opinions, opinions – everyone’s got them and you definitely want to hear them! During your session, use Opinion Polls to find out what your audience really thinks. Questions like, 'How do you believe emotional intelligence impacts leadership?' or 'Share an unexpected benefit you've seen from using emotional intelligence at work,' open up dialogue and invite richer conversations. This interaction not only validates attendees’ thoughts but also provides new insights for everyone involved.

Get Instant Feedback with Power Polls

Power Polls are your go-to for quick and easy engagement checks. They’re perfect for questions like, 'How comfortable are you with using emotional intelligence at work?' or 'Which emotional intelligence skill do you find the hardest?' Live results let your audience know they’re heard, and you can adjust your session based on what they need most. It’s a win-win – you get valuable feedback, and they get a session that fits them like a glove.

Spin for the Win!

Keeping that energy up is key, and the Winner Wheel is your ace in the hole. Give your audience an incentive to participate with a fun prize draw. You can say, 'Every time you share an example of how you use emotional intelligence in your life, you get a chance to spin the wheel!' It's a neat way to encourage contributions and keep your attendees on their toes. You could also use it after a group discussion, rewarding brave participants willing to share their thoughts. By mixing a bit of fun with learning, you'll keep the momentum going strong.

Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words

Wonder Words is a fantastic way to capture and visualize your audience's thoughts in real-time. During your emotional intelligence training, encourage participants to type in words related to 'What emotion are you feeling right now?' or 'Name a key trait of emotionally intelligent leaders.' As words fill the screen, it highlights common themes and emotions, providing a visual snapshot of what’s resonating with your group. It’s a dynamic way to keep your session interactive and insightful, and it helps in making those concepts sticky.

Let the Circle Decide!

Power Polls are your go-to for quick and easy engagement checks. They’re perfect for questions like, 'How comfortable are you with using emotional intelligence at work?' or 'Which emotional intelligence skill do you find the hardest?' Live results let your audience know they’re heard, and you can adjust your session based on what they need most. It’s a win-win – you get valuable feedback, and they get a session that fits them like a glove.
