The Program:
For over a decade, attendees have been demanding more engagement from presenters. That doesn’t mean talking at them for 45 minutes, or an occasional “turn to a neighbor,” “share in chat” or even a Mentimeter poll.
You struggle to make your sessions more engaging — and even fun! — even if you have a serious topic. You have exhausted the techniques you know. You wish you knew some fresh ideas.
Whether you’re speaking to clients, colleagues, or conference attendees, engagement isn’t just about showing up — it’s about showing up with intention. How can you use unusual props, music, and unexpected visuals to continually keep your audience paying attention and engaged so you get rave reviews and repeat business?
Jason will not only demonstrate his uncommon techniques for getting and keeping audiences engaged, he’ll share how and why he does what he does. In this high-energy, practical session, Jason will share proven strategies for connecting with audiences in both in-person and digital spaces that feel personal, dynamic, and memorable.
With a background in music, leadership training, and experiential learning, Jason will walk you through creative tools and techniques you can immediately apply to elevate your next in-person presentation, live webinar, workshop, or hybrid session. You’ll learn how to create experiences that foster trust, boost participation, and leave your audience wanting more.
Whether you’re presenting to five people or five hundred, this session will help you stand out, stay relevant, and deliver meaningful impact in any virtual setting.
You will learn how to:
- Warm up both in-person and virtual audiences to build trust and set the tone
- Use low-tech tools like index cards, name tags, and movement to create powerful virtual and in-person engagement
- Leverage live music, voice modulation, and silence for emotional impact
- Apply the “Connection Before Content” principle to transform audience dynamics
- Design simple interactive moments that drive participation — without relying on complicated tech
- Avoid burnout and fatigue with sustainable presenter practices that keep energy high, both online and in person
