Today's tip of the day to boost engagement in your virtual and hybrid office is to add movement to your presentations. Now, why is movement so important? Movement is critical to capturing attention. As my colleague Spencer always says, movement is the gateway to attention. And it's the gateway to attention because it boosts dopamine in our brain and it helps us break out of autopilot. When we are watching presentations and someone is sitting on their screen for 10 minutes, it is so easy to tune out. But my guess is, as I've been talking, many of you have been watching the video instead of, for example, staring at this text here. It's just a lot more dynamic and interesting to look at, and we want to see what comes next. So my suggestion when you're in a virtual setting is to create at least 2 movements per minute to help us break through this additional barrier of the screen. And a movement can be playing a video, it can be fading in your bullet points, it can be merely just switching the slot So keep this in mind next time you are creating your virtual presentation.
