Improving Audience Focus

Example of an uncomfortable posture
Being relaxed and comfortable as a webinar presenter is important. But do we ever think about relaxing our audience?
Many people attend a webinar in the same way that they deal with any other computer application. They lean towards the screen with one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard. This can have two negative effects on audience members: It encourages multitasking on other applications and it builds tension and discomfort in the back, neck, arms and hands.
Why not put your audience at ease by starting your presentation with a suggestion to “sit back and enjoy”? If your conferencing software has a full-screen display mode, try using that and treat the presentation like a movie. Lean back, let go of the mouse and keyboard and take the opportunity to put your feet up!
We can’t control how individuals will behave in a remote setting, but we can take steps to let them know that the presentation should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience. A few well placed words may help them enjoy the event and react more favorably to your message.
