Hey there! So, you're running a Zoom session on presentation skills, and you want to keep your audience more engaged, right? You know how it goes—sometimes folks start zoning out after a bit. But we want to change that because the more engaged your audience is, the more they'll learn and remember. Engaging interactions make your session stand out and leave a lasting impact. Let’s make your session the one they remember!

Kick Things Off with Magic Maps

Start your Zoom session with a bang using Magic Maps! When your attendees pop their locations into the chat, Magic Maps turns it into a fun and interactive world map. It's not just about seeing where everyone’s from; it's a great icebreaker. Ask them, 'Where are you tuning in from today?' or 'What’s your dream travel destination?' Seeing those dots pop up on the world map gets people excited and eager to participate right from the start. It's perfect for setting the mood and making everyone feel like they're part of something big and global!

Explore Ideas with Open-Ended Opinion Polls

Open-Ended Polls are gold for gathering diverse perspectives. Invite your audience to share their unique answers and experiences, like 'What’s the best opening line you’ve used in a presentation?' or 'Share a memorable presentation moment.' You'll collect a treasure trove of insights that you can weave into your discussion, making it even richer and more dynamic. It encourages sharing and learning from each other, which is what a great training session is all about.

Power Up Engagement with Power Polls

Bring in Power Polls to get real-time opinions on something like, 'What's your biggest fear about public speaking?' Let attendees choose from prepared options, or let them submit their own via chat. These polls provide instant feedback and can guide your session. For example, if most folks are worried about stage fright, spend a little more time on those tips to conquer it. This isn’t just about engagement—it's about making your content more relevant to your audience.

Get Everyone Involved with the Winner Wheel

As you dive deeper into your presentation skills training, use the Winner Wheel to keep the energy high. It's a neat tool to pick a random winner from those participating in the chat—or maybe even someone who asked a really thoughtful question. You could say, 'Everyone who shares a tip on overcoming presentation jitters gets a spin!' It’s a fun way to reward interaction and keeps the chat lively as attendees will want to join in and see if they get picked!

Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words

Wonder Words are fantastic for summarizing everyone's thoughts visually. When you ask something simple like, 'Describe public speaking in one word,' you'll see the most common words pop out in real-time. It's a great way to acknowledge and reinforce the key ideas your audience is discussing. Plus, it provides a colorful break from slides and speeches, keeping your session vibrant and lively. It's those little visuals that stick in people’s minds long after the session is over.

Make Decisions Fun with Choice Circle

Bring in Power Polls to get real-time opinions on something like, 'What's your biggest fear about public speaking?' Let attendees choose from prepared options, or let them submit their own via chat. These polls provide instant feedback and can guide your session. For example, if most folks are worried about stage fright, spend a little more time on those tips to conquer it. This isn’t just about engagement—it's about making your content more relevant to your audience.
