Engage Your Audience with Interactive Tools and Activities

Updated March 2016.

Your topic is important and your slides are clear and powerful. Now what?

Make your seminars and workshops more engaging and effective by balancing information and content delivery with interactive activities.

An interactive seminar helps your audience to

• Learn more
• Remember better
• Understand how they can apply the content going forward

This course is for you if you are a newbie presenter looking for  ways to connect with your seminar audience.

Together we will walk through a typical seminar from beginning to end and learn

• Short, fun interactive activities that will set the tone
• Ways to connect your audience with the topic
• Strategies to help the audience remember the content
• Techniques that the audience can use to apply what they learned

Why this course?

Many presenters are experts and are truly passionate about sharing their topic. But learning how to work well with an audience is the dimension that is sometimes neglected. It takes time to find appropriate activities and to know where and when to use them. This course pulls all of that together for you. Together we will move through each stage of a typical seminar, from the time the audience enters the room to the end when you are asking for feedback. At each stage you will be provided with ways to enhance the seminar experience for your audience. Whether you like low-tech or high tech, and whether you are speaking to a small group or a large audience, you will find useful strategies to choose from in the wide variety of activities included in the course.

Other resources in the course include discussion questions, online links and review quizzes.
