How many times have you participated in a group event only to find yourself bored, struggling to find relevance, or quickly forgetting what you’ve just ‘learned’? The fact is that we all crave a deeper experience when participating in a group event, whether a presentation, workshop, meeting, class or other experience. It’s obvious that we’d want our time to be valuable and meaningful, and yet why do we so often feel the opposite? Read on to find out what you can do to bust the ‘event boredom blues.’
The Deeper WOW!
There’s a deeper ‘WOW!’ that everybody craves, an experience that goes beyond words & ideas, and that leads to authentic engagement & trust. In order to foster that kind of sustained engagement, you’re going to need to learn at least five essential skills:
- Prime the pump in order to spark curiosity & give your group opportunities to connect before your experience.
- Come into full integrity with yourself so that your group senses you’re serving confidently out of sincere care & purposeful passion.
- Create enough safety for your participants to stretch their trust muscles by engaging you, your material & each other.
- Prepare adaptive content & interactivities that engage the *whole* person and connect them to each other.
- Offer follow-up opportunities & social technologies for staying connected to you and your material after your experience together.
To the degree that you gain proficiency in these skills, your participants will enjoy, benefit from & remember their experiences with you, and will stay connected in a way that sustains & spreads the fire.
Isn’t that the kind of “WOW!” you’re wanting to offer?
