It\u2019s agonizing to passively sit through a presentation of endless slides that seem to never end, especially when it feels like the presenter is figuring things out alongside the participants.
\nAnd, whether you\u2019re delivering a live training session or giving a keynote presentation, keeping your audience engaged is a key metric for success and there\u2019s no shortage of ways to lose them.
\nSome of the basics include having a clear message and staying on task. However, interacting with your audience in real-time is one of the most effective and dynamic ways make it happen.
\nHowever, doing this well takes more than throwing in a random poll or saving a few minutes at the end for Q&A. You need to field and address questions in real-time and adjust the flow based on audience feedback.
\nIn this episode, I talk with Shannon Daniels about what it takes to make the most of a live presentation and discover why she founded Encaptiv to help make accomplishing it easy.
