How do I create a sense of community and interaction during a Live workshop?
Building connection starts the moment your attendees arrive. Invite them to introduce themselves in the chat, respond to a quick question, or share where they are tuning in from. This helps break the ice and sets a welcoming tone right away.
During the workshop, keep engagement going by using interactive prompts, reading comments aloud, and celebrating what people contribute. You can also encourage small moments of participation, like having attendees type a word or emoji that reflects how they are feeling.
When someone shares a comment or question, use their name as you respond. A simple "That’s a great point, Sarah" makes the experience feel more personal and helps your audience feel seen and heard.
A connected room is a responsive room. The more you acknowledge and involve your participants, the more energy and interaction you will get in return.
