Break Out Of Boredom eBook

When Covid-19 brought all in-person events to a screeching halt, events became synonymous with virtual events. By now, you likely have Zoom basics down. The problem is that basic skills are not enough to stand out as a top-notch virtual presenter.

You don''t need a high-tech recording studio with a green screen, hair light (that''s a real thing), and fancy software to level up your Zoom game. Focus on improving your technique rather than your technology. Break Out of Boredom will help you design transformative, inclusive, and engaging online experiences.

Your message may not get across if you do not provide a thoughtful participant experience design that focuses on intentional engagement. All too often, traditional event design, particularly in a virtual setting, benefits the loudest, most confident, and most experienced participants.

Robbie Samuels shares how to use the latest features and online facilitation techniques to structure your events, so everyone feels welcomed instead of merely invited. Using purpose-first design creates sessions that move participants from inspiration to action.

While focusing on Zoom, this book''s purpose-first design and virtual facilitation concepts apply to any virtual meeting platform. It was written to support meeting professionals, virtual presenters, and virtual facilitators committed to hosting virtual meetings and conferences-and overcoming Zoom fatigue and death-by-PowerPoint.

Read this book to learn how to:

• incorporate purpose-first design to create sessions with specific outcomes in mind.
• enhance virtual presentations by utilizing improved online facilitation techniques.
• create opportunities for ALL voices to be heard, not just the most privileged or experienced.
• design breakout rooms that foster intentional engagement.
• apply these online facilitation and event design concepts to any virtual platform.

Break Out of Boredom is chock full of strategies, checklists, and step-by-step guides. The book''s bonus content provides access to these resources as a download for easy reference.

If virtual programming is part of your business model, you cannot afford to use skills and settings stuck in 2020. Break away from the pack with this indispensable guide to creating engaging and productive virtual events.
