How can I keep the engagement and focus high during a presentation?

My two cents

Here are a few tips I use to help participants stay focused during presentations and to keep them engaged:

  • Ask participants to close their laptops (on-site meetings)

  • Ask participants to put their cameras on (remote meetings)

  • Have a change every 5 minutes at least: It can be a change of speaker, a change of type of content (video, GIF, text, image), a new type of interaction (speaking, reflection break, a breakout in subgroups, questions. etc.) or a change of tone (serious, humour).
