Hey there! If you've ever hosted a live session, you know how crucial it is to keep your audience engaged. Nothing's worse than seeing people zone out when there's valuable info being shared. Engaging your attendees not only helps them get more out of the session but also makes them stick around for your future ones. It's all about creating a vibrant, interactive environment where people are active and buzzing, rather than just passive listeners.
