Stay on Task
Show them that you value their time by not wasting it. Preparing ahead of time will keep things going and help avoid participants zoning out. Try creating an outline or a script of what you plan on sharing beforehand for reference with any videos, images or other presentation tools ready to go.
Increasing Involvement
