Hey there, MS Teams hosts! We all know that running an Emotional Intelligence Workshop online can be a bit of a challenge, right? But don't worry. To make sure your participants don't just sit back passively and instead actively engage, we need to make it fun and interactive. Engaged attendees are more likely to remember what they've learned, contribute their own thoughts, and even carry those skills into their daily work. That's where boosting engagement through interactive tools comes into play, making sure your session is both impactful and memorable.

Put Your Audience on the Map

Using StreamAlive’s Magic Maps, you can kick off your Emotional Intelligence Workshop on MS Teams with a bang! Start by asking your audience where they're joining from or their all-time favorite getaway spot. This not only breaks the ice but also helps attendees feel connected to the workshop right from the start. You could even ask where they think they use emotional intelligence skills most in their daily life and have those responses show up on the map, connecting people through shared experiences worldwide.

Share Thoughts Openly with Opinion Polls

Emotional Intelligence is deeply personal, and Open Ended Polls let participants share their insightful thoughts and experiences freely. You might ask, "Describe a time your emotional intelligence helped navigate a tricky situation." Participants can share their stories in the chat, and StreamAlive will capture and highlight them. This kind of sharing promotes a communal learning environment and can foster some great discussions and idea exchanges.

Gauge Understanding with Power Polls

During your workshop, getting feedback is crucial. Use Power Polls to ask questions like "Which emotional intelligence skill do you find most challenging?" or "Are you a natural empath, or is it something you're working on?" This not only gives you valuable insights but also helps attendees reflect on their journey. Plus, showing the real-time results can spark discussion and deeper understanding, letting attendees see where they align with their peers.

Spin to Win with Winner Wheel!

Who doesn't love a little competition? The Spinner Wheel on StreamAlive is perfect for rewarding participation throughout your live session. Maybe you have moments where you'd like everyone to share thoughts or insights. Select a winner from those who contribute during these discussions to keep the interaction lively! You can also use it to randomly select attendees to share a story about emotional intelligence in their workplace, keeping everyone on their toes and invested in the dialogue.

Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words

Lastly, Wonder Words is a fantastic way to visualize your participant's thoughts live during the session. When discussing emotional intelligence, ask everyone to summarize their current mood in one word or describe the biggest personal takeaway in two words. As responses come in, the word cloud grows, visually representing the group's collective mindset and learning progress. This can provide a powerful moment of reflection as participants see how their peers are feeling or what they're focusing on.

Decisions Made Easy with Choice Circle

During your workshop, getting feedback is crucial. Use Power Polls to ask questions like "Which emotional intelligence skill do you find most challenging?" or "Are you a natural empath, or is it something you're working on?" This not only gives you valuable insights but also helps attendees reflect on their journey. Plus, showing the real-time results can spark discussion and deeper understanding, letting attendees see where they align with their peers.
