Hey there, looking to make your Career Transition Workshop in MS Teams more than just another day at the desk? You know, keeping your audience glued to their screens and genuinely learning from your session is key to its success. Engaged attendees not only pay more attention but are also more likely to remember what they learn and really make the most of your expertise.

Get Geographical with Magic Maps!

One way to kick things off during your Career Transition Workshop is by using Magic Maps. Start by asking participants, “Where in the world are you joining us from?” and watch StreamAlive plot each location on a real-time world map. This ice-breaker not only gets everyone involved right from the start but also adds a personal touch as attendees see their locations displayed. You can also mix it up a bit by asking them to share a dream city they’d love to work in, or a place where they'd like to see their career take them. It's a super fun way to show diversity in your group and start conversations about global opportunities.

Spark Thought with Opinion Polls!

If you’d like to dive deeper into your audience’s minds, try out an Open-Ended Opinion Poll. Ask, “What's one piece of career advice you swear by?” or let them suggest topics they're eager to explore in future sessions. Opinion polls are fantastic not only for nurturing a participatory atmosphere but also for gathering ideas to tailor future sessions more closely to what your attendees want.

Gauge with Power Polls!

Getting real-time feedback or taking the pulse of the room is easier with Power Polls. Use StreamAlive’s Power Polls to ask, “Which career transition challenge do you face most?” or “How often do you network online?” It’s a powerful tool to collect insights and adjust your session according to what your audience needs. Plus, participants love seeing instant results, which keeps the energy high and everyone engaged!

Pick Up the Pace with Winner Wheel!

In the middle of your workshop, when you notice a few folks going silent, it’s time to spice things up with the Winner Wheel. Consider using it after a session or discussion, by picking a winner who shared a thoughtful comment or asked a great question. The thrill of potentially winning something small, like a shoutout or even a gift card, can motivate the quieter ones to join in. You could say, "The prize goes to someone whose comment really caught our attention!" It breaks the monotony and injects a jolt of energy into your session.

Capture Thoughts with Wonder Words!

Finally, give a voice to your audience’s thoughts with Wonder Words. During your session, you can pose fun questions like “What’s one skill you’re proud of?” or “Name a tool that you think every professional should know.” StreamAlive will transform the words into a vibrant word cloud, highlighting the most common thoughts and ideas. This visual representation can prompt more discussion and feedback, making your workshop memorable and giving you insights into their collective mindset.

Decide with Ease using Choice Circle!
