Let's be honest, we've all run meetings or training sessions on MS Teams where the engagement just wasn't there. It's like talking into the void, right? But when you're hosting an Inclusive Leadership Training Session, engagement is key. It’s not just about sharing information; it’s about sparking change. An interactive, lively session not only keeps your participants interested but also enhances how much they retain. If they're involved, they’re more likely to remember what they've learned and apply it to create more inclusive environments. So how do you turn your next session into a conversation rather than a monologue?

Using Magic Maps to Connect Attendees Worldwide

Imagine kicking off your Inclusive Leadership Training by asking, 'Where in the world are you joining us from today?' With StreamAlive’s Magic Maps, you can turn this simple question into a visual delight on MS Teams. It makes everyone feel like they are part of something bigger—and it’s an easy ice breaker! You could dive deeper by asking them to share a special memory from their city or a place they would love to visit. This not only warms up the session but also fosters an instant connection among attendees, showing the global diversity right in the virtual room.

Inclusive Discussions with Opinion Polls

Getting everyone's thoughts with Opinion Polls can reveal diverse perspectives within your group. Pose open-ended questions like, 'What does inclusive leadership mean to you?' or 'Tell us about a time when you felt inclusivity was lacking.' As the responses come in, you can address them on the fly, sparking a rich conversation. It’s a fantastic way to surface a wide range of insights and experiences, making your MS Teams session that much more engaging.

Interactive Learning through Power Polls

Add some flair to your session with Power Polls! Start a discussion about key inclusivity challenges by polling your audience on scenarios or solutions. You might ask, 'What’s the most critical leadership trait for inclusiveness?' or 'Which strategy do you think is most effective: A or B?' This instant feedback allows you to adapt the session in real time based on what your participants value most, ensuring that everyone’s learning journey is tailored and relevant.

Announce that you’ll be spinning the wheel to give out a fun prize or simply for recognition at the end of the session. If someone shares a particularly insightful comment or question, use the Winner Wheel to showcase and reward that engagement—nothing jazzes up a session more than a moment of surprise and fun.
