Attendees 1. Make it relevant. First and foremost, to earn people’s attention, you need to make sure that the content you’re delivering is useful to them. How do you learn exactly what they want out of your course?
2. Ditch the traditional presentation. People learn in different ways. Some of us are visual learners who prefer pictures, videos, and diagrams, while others respond to the spoken and written word, music, logic, or even physical activities.
3. Change the room layout. Training rooms are often laid out in the same way – rows of tables and chairs. Challenge the convention and surprise your attendees by perhaps providing beanbags instead of chairs, standing podium tables, or tables with just a few chairs to encourage small groups.
4. Use props. Props can make teaching even more engaging. These could be practical that literally represent your subject matter (think scales, an abacus, or a mannequin), or they could be ridiculous (try a rubber chicken or magic wand).
5. Play games. Need to keep your attendees focused? Tap into their competitive sides. Puzzles or riddles, crosswords, memory games, ordering tasks — all are great ways to keep your attendees engaged and on-task.
6. Tell a story. Whatever you’re teaching, try to make it relatable to everyday life by using real examples, case studies, and creative metaphors. People will sit still for hours watching a movie — why not use some cinematic tricks as engaging workshop ideas?
7. Play some tunes. Music can set the mood and get attendees energized before your session and during breaks. Play something upbeat to pump them up, and lower it back down to let them know it’s time to start.
8. Cut it in half. One of the best ways to keep your audience engaged is to not overload them with information. Give them too much, and their brains will simply shut off.
9. Provide recognition and reward. Attendees will be more motivated to successfully complete the course if their efforts are recognized — and if they have something to show for it at the end.
