Hey there! You know how crucial it is to keep your audience engaged and active during your live MS Teams sessions, especially when we're deep-diving into something as life-changing as Individual Development Plans (IDPs). When your attendees are lively and participating, they not only have more fun, but they also retain way more information. This translates into a session that’s not just a PowerPoint on their screens but an experience they’ll remember and learn from.
Put Your Audience on the Magic Map
Starting your IDP Workshop with a bang is as simple as asking, 'Where's everyone tuning in from today?' and letting StreamAlive's Magic Maps feature do its thing. As folks start typing their locations into the MS Teams chat, you get a live, vibrant world map showing everyone’s spots. It’s a fantastic icebreaker! Besides feeling like they’re part of a global community, participants might want to share their dream travel destinations or the cities tied to their fondest memories. This simple map can spark a connection among attendees based across cities or countries, setting the stage for a more personal and involved session.
Gather Real Opinions with Open-Ended Polls
For the more nuanced questions you might want to float like 'What's your biggest professional hurdle right now?' grab for StreamAlive’s Open-Ended Polls. Let your participants’ unique experiences color the session. Whether it’s identifying common challenges across the group or getting suggestions on what future sessions should cover, these open-ended insights are gold. You get a peek into their thought processes, allowing you to drive the conversation in meaningful directions during your IDP Workshops.
Make Decisions Dynamic with Power Polls
Let’s say you want to get a quick read on what your audience thinks about certain career paths, StreamAlive's Power Polls are your go-to tool. You throw out a question like, 'Which skills are you planning to develop next?' and watch as the responses roll in live. It’s magic seeing real-time results and gives you a chance to address popular choices as they appear. Use it to gauge interest levels in different discussion topics or even to make live decisions about which tool or resource to explore next in your workshop.
Spin Up Some Fun with the Winner Wheel
IDP Workshops can get a little, well, structured, right? To shake things up, throw in StreamAlive’s Winner Wheel. Have a prize for the participant who contributed the most in a particular segment, or simply surprise an audience member to share their takeaway from the discussion and watch everyone light up with anticipation. You can set it so only those who've thrown in comments during a specific activity can win, making it a great incentive for interaction. This simple act of ticking a box and spinning a wheel keeps energy levels up and encourages even the quieter folks to dive into the chat.
Visualize Ideas with Wonder Words
A picture’s worth a thousand words, literally, with StreamAlive’s Wonder Words feature. When you're discussing personal strengths or brainstorming career goals, encourage everyone to share their thoughts in a word or two. As these words flood into your MS Teams chat, a live word cloud forms. Bigger words mean common themes, instantly showing what’s on your attendees’ minds. This visual not only highlights key points for all to see in real-time, but it also fosters a sense of unity as common threads weave through each participant’s contributions. Plus, it’s just plain cool to see those words floating around!.
