Past precedents have set negative expectations for today’s meetings. The audience doesn’t know you anything about you, but history predicts a talking head. Fair or not, your audience has already slated your meeting time to text their buddies, browse for game scores, sign walls on Facebook and dream of deals on EBay. Employees are fed-up with torturous mandatory meetings and revolt by catching-up on social networking, building their sports knowledge and seeking-out a good bargain. The good news is you can break their routines!
Use the Art of Audience Interaction. With this concept, you can get the process started before your participants ever set foot in the room. You will change participants’ expectations, capture their attention and enhance your program. This session will not just tell you about techniques to facilitate ideal audience behavior, but will also model effective, economical, practical and simple solutions for maximizing the benefits of your meeting. An engaged audience will absorb, remember and apply your teachings, And, don’t forget; rave about you for years. Get Interactive!
