Play the presentation again when you allow your attendees a little session break and then stop it again to let them know it's time to get back to work.

The music will end and the sudden change in the sound of the room will easily draw everyone's attention to you. When you are ready to begin, just stop the presentation. Be sure it includes some music that isn't too loud, but loud enough to be noticed when you stop it. As with any assemblage of folks, it'll take a little time to get everyone into the room and settled down so you can begin.Ī terrific tool to have handy is a Break Time presentation.Īs people are coming in for your presentation, you have this fun, little slide show running on the wall to keep them entertained.

This is something I learned to do after seeing it done at a Microsoft TechNet session, many years ago. I was somewhat amazed that so many folks made mention of my little Break Time presentation that I would set to run as the class broke and folks shuffled in and out of the classroom. I recently taught an Outlook class to new users. Much of this information has already been presented, separately, in TechTrax.
