Start with the easiest win: get everyone typing in chat in the first 60 seconds. Launch **Magic Maps** and ask a location-based question that also tees up your topic. Try prompts like: - Where are you joining from today? (classic, works every time) - Which city do you think is changing fastest in terms of jobs and skills? - If you could teleport anywhere to learn a new skill for a week, where would you go? As locations pop onto the map in real time, youve instantly got energy, movement on screen, and a natural segue: Notice how distributed we are-Skill Instability is global, and its hitting industries differently depending on where you are. If you want to keep it clean, set it to **one location per person** and reset the map before the next activity.

Before you go deep into frameworks, run a **Rating Poll** to find out where people really are. Its faster than asking everyone good? and getting silence. Use prompts like: - On a scale of 110, how confident are you explaining Skill Instability to a client? - Rate how much Skill Instability is impacting your current training projects (1 = not at all, 10 = heavily). - How prepared do you think your agency is to respond to new skill shifts (110)? Now you can tailor your delivery live. If the average is low, you slow down and give more examples. If its high, you go straight into advanced application. Either way, the group feels seen-and youre not guessing.

Then do a quick facilitation move: pick 23 tiles to read out loud and respond to. Youll get real examples from the field, and your content stops being theoretical.

When youre training agencies, different people care about different angles-sales enablement, L&D delivery, curriculum design, trainer capability, etc. Run a **Power Poll** and let them vote on what they want next.

After the session, **Analytics** is where you get the receipts. If youre running training for agencies (or delivering to agency clients), being able to show engagement and participation is gold. What to look at: - **Minute-by-minute engagement:** Spot where attention dipped (maybe that section needs a story, a demo, or a poll next time). - **Chat replay + interaction results:** See exactly what people responded to when you discussed Skill Instability examples, risks, or strategies. - **Top Fans / most engaged participants:** These are your champions-great people to invite into follow-up workshops, pilot groups, or internal trainer communities. - **Email reports:** Send results to your team or client stakeholders so they see participation, sentiment, and what the audience cared about. This is how you move from I think it went well to Heres what landed, heres what to adjust, and heres who was most engaged.
