There are lots of people who just want to know how to improve engagement in their workshops. If you want to hold people’s attention better, get more responses when you ask questions, & keep the energy higher in your sessions *and that’s all you want* here are my top three tips: 1/10

Could be asking for a head nod, a thumbs up, a verbal answer, whatever. Add a cue for yourself in your notes or slides with specific questions to ask at certain points if you need to. As you get more comfortable, they’ll come to you more naturally, in the moment. 3/10

2. Mix it up. Don’t always ask them to do the same thing. Vary what YOU do, and what you invite your people to do. Some people aren't comfortable speaking in front of the whole group. Others aren't able to type out answers. Putting numbers or short phrases into the chat gets boring real quick. 4/10

If you keep doing the same few things to try to engage folks, people who can’t/won’t engage in that way might just look for something more interesting and check out of the conversation. [Check out The Workshop Compass for ideas on how to create more variety in your sessions.] 5/10
