Let's be honest, hosting a live session on MS Teams is way more than just sharing slides. You want your attendees to actually enjoy and learn from it, right? The key to that is keeping them engaged. When people feel involved and actively participate, they retain way more information and actually remember what you talked about long after the session is over. More engagement means more impact, and who wouldn’t want that from their Emotional Intelligence training?
Bringing the World Together with Magic Maps
At the start of your session, ask your participants, 'Where are you joining us from?' As they type their responses in the chat, StreamAlive's Magic Maps feature will plot these locations on a real-time map. Not only does this make the session visually appealing, but it also creates a sense of community among attendees. You can use warm-up questions like, 'Which city represents your personal growth the most?' or 'If you could visit any city to enhance your emotional intelligence, where would it be?' This sparks curiosity and gets everyone involved from the get-go.
Dive Deeper with Opinion Polls
When discussing personal growth stories or scenarios that require emotional resolve, open-ended Opinion Polls bring out the most interesting responses. Pose questions like, 'What's a personal victory in managing your emotions at work?' or 'Share a tough EI challenge and how you handled it.’ Let your participants see the results as they come in, creating a platform for sharing diverse experiences. This fosters a supportive and interactive learning environment, encouraging even the quiet voices to share.
Enlighten and Engage with Power Polls
Getting opinions from your audience is a breeze with Power Polls. Start your session by polling which areas of emotional intelligence your attendees are most interested in: self-awareness, empathy, social skills, etc. Or ask them to choose their biggest EI challenge. Seeing these poll results instantly can guide you to focus on what truly matters to your group, keeping everyone super engaged. Plus, they offer a snapshot of shared priorities, helping personalize the session and drive meaningful discussions.
Keep the Energy High with Winner Wheel
To liven things up in the middle of your Emotional Intelligence session, try out the Winner Wheel. This tool can reward active participants or those who've engaged in certain chat discussions. Imagine asking, 'Who can share a real-life example of using emotional intelligence?' and then spinning the Wheel to choose a participant who’ll win a small prize. It incentivizes participation and keeps your audience on their toes, waiting for what’s next. You could also reward the person who asked the most insightful question or recalled a previous session’s learning—you decide the criteria!
One-word Wonder with Word Cloud
Visual learners will love the Word Cloud feature. During your session, you might ask, 'Name a quality you think is key in emotional intelligence.' As responses like 'empathy,' 'self-control,' or 'adaptability' pour in, they populate into a word cloud on the screen. This provides a powerful visual summary of the group's thoughts and can act as a perfect conversation starter for deeper dives. It's an immediate way to gather collective feedback while making the session engaging and dynamic.
Simplify Decisions with Choice Circle
Getting opinions from your audience is a breeze with Power Polls. Start your session by polling which areas of emotional intelligence your attendees are most interested in: self-awareness, empathy, social skills, etc. Or ask them to choose their biggest EI challenge. Seeing these poll results instantly can guide you to focus on what truly matters to your group, keeping everyone super engaged. Plus, they offer a snapshot of shared priorities, helping personalize the session and drive meaningful discussions.
