Alright, let's be straight up—who among us hasn't zoned out during a corporate training session? You know the ones I'm talking about—the session starts, and our minds start to wander. This is why engaging your audience during live sessions is a game changer. Not only does it make the session better, but it really boosts the impact and helps your audience actually remember what they learned. Getting them involved and interacting with you in real-time makes it more likely they'll walk away with key insights and a greater understanding of corporate ethics and values.
Put Your Audience on the Map with Magic Maps
Let's kick things off with Magic Maps. Imagine you're in the middle of a session on Corporate Ethics & Values, and you want to know where everyone’s tuning in from. Why not ask them to drop their locations in the chat and watch as the Magic Maps feature lights up showing everyone's spot on the globe in real-time? It's a great way to connect with your audience right from the start. Plus, you can ask fun questions like, 'Which city are you in, where would you move if you could pick any place?' or maybe 'Is there a city that exemplifies corporate values to you?' This not only warms up the session but sets a collaborative tone.
Gather Thoughtful Insights with Opinion Polls
If you're looking for a more open-ended engagement, Opinion Polls can be your best friend. Instead of simple yes/no answers, ask in-depth questions that invite detailed responses. During your session on ethics, pose a question like, 'In what ways do you see corporate values impact decision-making?' Attendees can type their thoughts freely, and you get a pool of insightful perspectives to share, discuss, and even debate. It's a goldmine for initiating meaningful conversations during the session.
Get Real-Time Feedback with Power Polls
Who doesn't love a good poll? Power Polls are a fantastic way to grab your audience's real-time feedback on various topics. Say you're halfway through and want to measure the room—just ask, 'Which ethical dilemma do you think is the most challenging for corporate teams?' With results displayed instantly, it’s easy to see where everyone stands. Use it to vote on case studies, or get a quick pulse on how many hours people felt the most ethical dilemmas arise. It makes them feel heard and part of the session's direction.
Keep Them Inviting with the Winner Wheel
Next up, you’ve got the Winner Wheel. Want to encourage more chat participation during your ethics session? Try using this tool to select random winners from those who join in on the conversation. You could say something like, 'Anyone who shares a valuable takeaway or an example of ethical behavior could win a spot on our Winner Wheel!' This creates an atmosphere where everyone feels their input is valued and it might just score them a cool prize, even if it's just bragging rights. It keeps the energy up and keeps people commenting.
Visualize Insights with Wonder Words
Visual content can be incredibly engaging, and that's exactly where Wonder Words come in. Let’s say you're teaching about core values. You ask, 'Name a core value you think is pivotal in the workplace.' As people type in their one or two-word responses, a word cloud forms, highlighting the most-common words in larger text. It's a dynamic way to engage everyone and share thoughts visually. Plus, you can refine it by removing irrelevant words, making sure the conversation stays relevant to your session on corporate ethics and values.
Make Decisions Fun with Choice Circle
Who doesn't love a good poll? Power Polls are a fantastic way to grab your audience's real-time feedback on various topics. Say you're halfway through and want to measure the room—just ask, 'Which ethical dilemma do you think is the most challenging for corporate teams?'

It makes them feel heard and part of the session's direction.
