Designing Live Sessions that Get Things Done #3 Engage Special
Your live session is full, yet nothing is moving. Participants are disengaged, and you go back and forth countless times after the session.
This is the session I run every month, same theme, same problem. This time the structure is completely different: instead of an open board where people write and move their own stickies, the whole thing runs on Miro Engage.
That's a real change, not a cosmetic one. An open board gives people a canvas and trusts them to use it. Engage gives them a poll, a prompt, a moment to respond, and controls what they see next. Same room, same challenge, two different bets on what makes people participate.
If you've sat in my sessions before, come see what changes when the structure does. If you're new, you'll get the full experience either way, plus a live comparison point for when to reach for an open canvas and when to reach for something more guided.
What you'll walk away with
Direct experience of the same live-session format rebuilt around Miro Engage instead of an open board
Identification of the friction points that stall group remote sessions, and how structure choice changes which ones show up
A working comparison of two interaction models, so you know which to reach for in your own sessions
What people said about my open board sessions
"Thank you, this was brilliant!"
"I learned how a professional of facilitation uses Miro functionalities."
"I learned that my teams' problems are perhaps universal. Quite comforting."
"I'm learning how you lead workshops, I love the dynamic and timing you follow."
Who it's for
Trainers seeking skill transfer beyond content coverage
Coaches transitioning to remote group facilitation
Leaders running outcome-focused team sessions
Consultants and remote workers wanting sessions to truly deliver results
Anyone who's been to a prior session and wants to see the same theme run a different way
