Webinar Tip # 03
SHUT UP! Don't lecture in your webinars
See more tips below
In most webinars, the speaker/ presenter lectures people to death.
They cannot help but barrage learners with voluminous information.
Results? - learners who are BORED and FRUSTRATED.
They sleep, snore, multitask and really don't learn.
In webinars where trainers have no control of the learner's environment, it is more important to let learners experience ample action and interaction.
The only way you engage learners is to get them glued to the webinar screen through interaction.. How...? DON'T LECTURE!
