Hey Zoom hosts, we all know how tricky it can get to keep everyone engaged during those long live sessions, right? Especially during Inclusive Leadership Training, where the message is so important. A well-engaged audience isn’t just a happy accident—it's the secret sauce that makes your session effective and memorable. Engagement doesn’t just keep people from zoning out or scrolling through their phones. It actually boosts attendance and helps attendees retain what they're learning, which is the whole point, isn't it? Let’s talk about some cool vibes and audience engagement magic you can pull out of your hat with StreamAlive’s interaction features.
Map Out Inclusivity with Magic Maps!
Alright, so one of the first things you can do to kick off your Inclusive Leadership Training session on Zoom is to use Magic Maps. You know when you ask that classic 'Where's everyone tuning in from?' question? Well, Magic Maps lets you take that info from the chat and plots it onto a real map right there in real-time. It's like bringing the world into your session. For instance, you could ask folks to share where they're from and then watch as the map lights up with their locations. This not only is a fun start but highlights global perspectives, which ties into inclusivity. Or flip it and ask about a dream location they’d want to lead a diversity initiative, which can spark some awesome discussions.
Hear from Everyone with Opinion Polls!
Sometimes you want a deeper dive into the minds of your attendees, right? Opinion Polls are perfect for this. Get creative and ask open-ended questions like 'What does inclusive leadership look like in action?' or 'Share an experience where you felt included.' It captures everyone's unique viewpoints, and you get a variety of insights in real-time. Plus, it helps attendees feel heard and valued, which is crucial in these leadership sessions. Use this input to steer the conversation for more interactive engagement and rich dialogue.
Spark Conversation with Power Polls!
Got a burning question and want to take a pulse of the room? Power Polls is your go-to. During your Inclusive Leadership Training, shoot out a quick poll like 'Which leadership trait do you prioritize in your team?' or 'What barrier do you feel is most critical to address in your organization?' Participants can pick an option, and instantly everyone sees what the majority thinks. This not only gets folks engaged because who doesn't love seeing how their answer stacks up to everyone else’s? but also fuels deeper discussions on prevalent issues.
Amp Up the Game with Winner Wheel!
Let’s face it, getting everyone to participate can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. But the Winner Wheel changes all that. It’s like a game show right in your Zoom call! Say you're discussing key traits of inclusive leaders and want to encourage input. You can entice more comments by telling folks there's a chance to win a prize via the Winner Wheel if they share their thoughts. It could also be used to select someone randomly to share an example of inclusive leadership from their experience. It's a lively way to get more people talking and avoid having just a few voices dominating the chat.
Visualize Inclusivity with Wonder Words!
If you’re wrapping up a topic or kicking off a new one, Wonder Words can be a visually impactful tool. Ask a quick question like 'In one word, what does diversity mean to you?' and watch as everyone’s input forms a word cloud. The more people say a word, the bigger it becomes. It’s amazing for creating a shared vision right on screen. You could also try something like 'What's one word to describe a leader you admire?' This keeps everyone involved as they get to see their contribution shape the collective thoughts of the session.
Decisions Made Fun with Choice Circle!
