092 - A simple guide to engaged online meetings with Myriam Hadnes

Do you want to create meetings that participants actively engage with?

When online meetings fail, it’s almost always because the offline meetings were bad in the first place. If you want every participant to engage with the meeting, you must be intentional from the start. The last thing you want to do is leave anyone out! As the facilitator, you must try and involve all participants by giving them enough opportunities to think, speak, and contribute to the meeting.

In this episode of workshops work, I take you on a journey of discovery and let you in on some of my top tips to create engaging online meetings. I talk about why Zoom fatigue has become a widespread phenomenon and what you can do to ensure your online meetings engage, inspire, and motivate real change.

So, are you ready to put the life back into your online meetings? 

If so, I hope this solo episode of the podcast helps you to do just that!
