Engaging your audience in live sessions isn't just the cherry on top—it's the cake. When your audience is actively involved, not only do they pay more attention, but they also retain what’s being shared with them. For executive coaching sessions, especially on Google Meet, that audience connection can make or break the effectiveness of the session. Let's talk about how we can use StreamAlive tools to turn your coaching into a highly interactive and memorable experience.
Put Your Attendees on the Map
Using Magic Maps in your executive coaching sessions is an awesome way to start getting people involved. Imagine asking folks to share where they're tuning in from or a city they dream of working in next. As they type in their answers, you see locations popping up on the world map in real time. It's not just fascinating to watch; it also gives you a sneak peek into who’s part of your session and encourages more participation as they see their location up on the screen.
Express Yourself with Opinion Polls
Opinion Polls let your participants express themselves freely. Imagine asking them to describe their leadership style or their thoughts on a new strategy. These polls give you a wealth of perspectives that can ignite rich conversations. You could ask something like, 'What’s a challenge you recently overcame in your role?' and you'll have real-time thoughts streaming in that you can discuss together.
Get Insights with Power Polls
Power Polls are versatile and handy for grabbing quick insights from your participants. Use them to check which coaching topics attendees wish to focus on, like time management or conflict resolution. Simply throw in questions like, 'Which leadership skill do you struggle with most?' or 'How many hours do you dedicate to self-improvement each week?' Seeing the results in real-time helps you tailor the session to better fit your audience's interests and needs.
Spin to Win with the Winner Wheel
Using the Winner Wheel during a Google Meet session can be a real game-changer. As you dive into different topics or open up the floor for comments, you might notice some participants keep quiet. Encourage them to chime in by announcing a random prize draw using the Winner Wheel for those who comment. You could ask questions like, 'Share a key take-away moment from today’s session,' or 'Which coaching strategy resonates most with you?' and spin the wheel for those who engage. It's a fun way to get even the shy folks to speak up, knowing they might win a little something.
Visualize Thoughts with Wonder Words
Wonder Words is a fantastic feature to visualize what’s on everyone’s mind. You could kick off with a question like, 'What’s one word that describes your biggest learning so far?' or 'What’s one quality of a great leader?' As people type their answers, a word cloud forms, making popular thoughts stand out. It’s a brilliant conversation starter and makes abstract ideas visible at a glance.
Decisions Made Easy with Choice Circle
Power Polls are versatile and handy for grabbing quick insights from your participants. Use them to check which coaching topics attendees wish to focus on, like time management or conflict resolution. Simply throw in questions like, 'Which leadership skill do you struggle with most?' or 'How many hours do you dedicate to self-improvement each week?' Seeing the results in real-time helps you tailor the session to better fit your audience's interests and needs.
