Usually, you converse with your team and you forget to &#8220;talk&#8221; to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking does not only necessarily mean you give them advice and what to do. You also need to listen. If you don&#8217;t, they&#8217;ll feel like that their opinion does not matter. You want to avoid that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here&#8217;s an advice. Engage in a conversation with them. Show them that you&#8217;re listening. Address all the questions that they have. In turn, this will ensure a healthy workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you in that area, here&#8217;s how you can captivate your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you do at a company meeting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, let&#8217;s talk about the definition of a company meeting. A company meeting is a meeting where you discuss every piece of detail happening in the company. It&#8217;s a company-wide gathering, and also called a town hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A leader leads the meeting to discuss company matters. Therefore, that&#8217;s where the name comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goals of the company meeting are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Share reports or company updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve business goal alignment around the vision and mission of the company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Praise hard workers and celebrate milestones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Answer questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let everyone share a piece of their mind<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206090519\/report.png\" alt=\"audience engagement\" class=\"wp-image-8037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206090519\/report.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206090519\/report-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206090519\/report-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Host a better Q&amp;A session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably the most important part of a company meeting. Your team will have questions throughout the meeting and after the meeting. You&#8217;ll surely want to address those questions. By the end of the meeting, everyone will have raised their concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s your job to ensure that everyone&#8217;s questions are answered. Therefore, here are some tips that you can use for your Q&amp;As.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084119\/meeting.png\" alt=\"company meeting\" class=\"wp-image-8035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084119\/meeting.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084119\/meeting-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084119\/meeting-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Have an appointed moderator for your Q&amp;A session.<\/strong> Moderators will be the ones to approve messages and choose messages to be answered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open the Q&amp;A for everyone.<\/strong> Allow anonymous users to join the conversation. Some employees may be shy to ask a question if you know it&#8217;s from them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage everyone to ask questions.&nbsp;<\/strong>Before&nbsp;starting&nbsp;your&nbsp;Q&amp;A&nbsp;session,&nbsp;ask&nbsp;your&nbsp;employees to submit questions.&nbsp;Make&nbsp;them&nbsp;feel&nbsp;safe&nbsp;and have a voice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Address all questions, from simple to tough ones.<\/strong> If tough questions are submitted, this means there was a lack of communication. Consider them and clear up all the misunderstandings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Request feedback. <\/strong>Before ending the session, ask for feedback. This will let you know what to improve and what to focus on. This is a powerful tool to know what they&#8217;ve learned. You can also answer the follow-up questions if there are any.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your own Q&amp;A chat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re having your meeting offline or online, you can use a moderated Q&amp;A chat to address your employees&#8217; questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where to get your own Q&amp;A chat? Let me help you with that.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084327\/create_moderated.png\" alt=\"panel discussion\" class=\"wp-image-8036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084327\/create_moderated.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084327\/create_moderated-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200206084327\/create_moderated-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rumbletalk.com\">RumbleTalk website<\/a> and create an account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondly, when prompted, choose moderated chat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thirdly, set your moderators on your <em><strong>Users<\/strong><\/em> tab.
