The Management Tip of the Day

Make Sure Your Webinar Lets the Audience Participate

One of the biggest risks of presenting via webinar is boring your audience. No one wants to watch as a disembodied voice clicks through slides. So be sure you're giving people a chance to interact with you. Depending on the number of attendees, you may ask them to "raise their hand" if they have a question, type their questions into the comment box, or use a separate Q&A feature. Whatever you decide, clearly explain the instructions at the beginning of the webinar, and periodically remind people how they can join in. Remember that it may take participants some time to formulate their questions, especially if they're typing them, so give several minutes' warning before you dive into the Q&A. And if you expect there to be a lot of comments or questions, you may want to have an assistant pick the ones you'll respond to, so you can focus on your talk.
