How can I engage participants in a discussion effectively?

How can I engage participants in a discussion effectively?

To engage participants, start with open-ended questions and encourage everyone to share their thoughts.

What types of questions should I ask?

Ask questions that require more than a yes or no answer, like 'What are your thoughts on...?' or 'How do you feel about...?'.

How do I handle participants who are quiet?

You can invite them directly by saying, 'I'd love to hear your perspective on this.' It can help them feel included.

What if someone dominates the conversation?

If someone is dominating, gently redirect the conversation by saying, 'Thank you for your input! Let's hear from others as well.'
