8 Tips on Giving an Engaging Live Course
I have been honored to start 2021 by lecturing a master’s degree class at HEC Paris.
Teaching live is very fun and it is something I have started doing a lot in 2020.
I am sharing with you 8 things I learned on how to run an engaging live course!
1/ 😇 Sell
Sell the value of what you are teaching.
Being present doesn’t mean they are listening.
Ask for their trust.
Sell your legitimacy and why they should trust the process you’re showing them.
2/ 📣 Repeat
Repeat the key points of your presentation over and over.
This is how it sticks.
I know it’s old-school advice but it does make a difference.
3/ 🪝Hook
Your course should solve a pressing problem.
Address their primary concerns, even if it seems unrelated at first.
If you are talking to students talk about their future careers. If you talk to business owners, talk about business growth.
Seems obvious right? Still, so many teachers forget this basic principle.
