Hey there, fellow live session host! So, you're about to dive into a New Manager Orientation session on Google Meet, and you're wondering how to keep everyone engaged, right? We all know how easy it is for attention to drift away, especially in online settings. Engagement is the secret sauce to making sure your session really sticks. If your audience is actively participating, they're not only more likely to remember what you're sharing, but they'll also be more excited about the journey they're about to embark on. That's where StreamAlive comes to the rescue with its cool interaction features designed to make your session lively and memorable.
Mapping New Managers' Origins
Start your New Manager Orientation session with a real bang by using Magic Maps. This gets everyone talking right from the get-go. Imagine asking, 'Where in the world are you logging in from today?' It's a fun way to break the ice and get to know your audience. As each new manager types their location in the chat, watch those pins pop up on your screen in real-time. Not only does this encourage interaction, but it also gives you a unique visual of your global audience. You can even throw in questions like 'Share a dream travel destination you've always wanted to visit.' Magic Maps turns this typical icebreaker into a moment of connection, making everyone feel part of a global team.
Capture Their Thoughts with Open-Ended Polls
When you want to dig a little deeper and capture diverse perspectives, go for Open-Ended Polls. Ask your attendees something like, 'What’s the biggest challenge you anticipate in your new role?' or 'Share one leadership quality you admire.' These open-ended questions allow for a breadth of responses, which can create great discussion points and help you understand your new managers better. It turns a monotonous session into a conversation, driving engagement and connection.
Get Real-Time Insights with Power Polls
Power Polls are a fantastic way to get immediate insights during your session. Ask questions like 'What's the most exciting part of becoming a new manager here?' or 'What’s the management topic you’re most eager to dive into?' With a few quick selections, your new managers can share their thoughts, and you'll see instant results. This not only helps you tailor content on the fly, but it also makes your managers feel heard and valued. It’s hard to beat that real-time feedback loop for keeping everyone engaged!
Spin to Win: Keep Engagement Alive
The Winner Wheel is your best friend to keep the energy high throughout your session. As you cover key topics, throw in little competitions or quizzes and use the wheel to choose a winner among those who participated. Think of it like saying, 'Who can recall the key trait of our company's leadership style?' Spin the wheel, and voila! You have a winner. It adds a dash of excitement and motivates your attendees to stay attentive and involved, knowing they might just snag a fun prize or a shout-out.
Visualize Their Thoughts with Word Clouds
End your session with a bang using Wonder Words. Prompt your audience with questions like 'Drop a word that describes your vision as a manager' or 'What's one value you want to embody?' As the responses flow into the chat, you'll see a vibrant word cloud forming in real time. This visual representation of everyone's thoughts is not just cool to look at, but it also reinforces key session points and leaves a lasting impression on your new managers. Word Clouds provide a perfect wrap-up, capturing the essence of your session in a way that sticks with attendees.
