225 - Unleash Audience Engagement - From Ignored to Involved with Tina Lyngdoh and Lux Narayan

We’ve had plenty of practice with online meetings by now; we have fallen into the common trapdoors and know how to avoid them in the future. But is effectiveness enough? Shall we really set the bar at running a ‘smooth and easy’ event?Many attendees still report that they feel unheard or unable to contribute in online event spaces — we are still missing a critical ingredient in a genuinely meaningful event, then.That’s why I felt so happy to speak with Tina Lyngdoh and Lux Narayan in this episode. As the co-founders of StreamAlive, they are at the very forefront of the push for universal involvement. Their work helps me to believe that we can still make meeting online connective and powerful.Find out about:What StreamAlive is, why Lux and Tina founded it, and how it serves online audiencesWhy facilitators can lean further into assistive tools — and why it’s so important onlineHow to move from monologue to dialogue in an online world that defaults to the formerWhat we unlock when we visualise chat in ways beyond the typical scrolling sidebarWhy in-person meetings benefit from audience-to-audience interaction as much as online onesHow deepening the participants’ experience and communication can help the facilitator take their work furtherDon’t miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.And download the free 1-page summary, so you can always have the key points of this episode to hand.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.The StreamAlive website.Connect to Tina and Lux:Lux on LinkedIn.Tina on LinkedIn.Support the show:Make a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.Support the Show.**Click here to navigate through all episodes via this interactive podcast map.**If you're inspired by our podcast and crave similar conversations, consider joining Dr Myriam Hadnes' NeverDoneBefore Facilitation Community. **If you're keen to master the art of facilitation, discover our expert-led live, online Facilitation Courses at the NDB Academy. **If you enjoy the show, consider a one-off donation and contribute to the ongoing costs of running the podcast.
