3 Down and Dirty Ways to Keep Your Meetings Engaging

Looking to keep your meeting attendees from napping during the meeting? Here are smart tactics for keeping participants fully engaged.

Start with culture. A company’s culture can do a lot to ensure efficient meetings. If smartphones aid the task at hand, by all means use them.

Create small teams. Break larger groups into teams of five for discussions–it’s very hard to stay glued to your phone when there are four other people sitting around looking at you.

Switch things up. Keep larger groups on the move, changing activities every 30 minutes. Try to create energy in as many different ways as possible so attendees want to be engaged. With a larger group, it’s really hard to monitor multi-taskers, so keeping the meeting interesting and interactive is important.

Suggested activities can include using the use of flip charts for brainstorming, distributing discussion questions on index cards and letting attendees choose their own topic, or throwing in a few off-topic logic puzzles and offering rewards to those who get the right answer.
