When this is the room
Energy dipping mid-morning/afternoon
Mid-Session Slump
About an hour in, the room dips: fewer questions, longer pauses, people rereading the same slide. Attention has a shelf life, and doing one kind of thing for too long shortens it. Take two minutes for water and a stretch, then come back with a different kind of activity than the one they just did.
Say this — right now
"Let's take 2 minutes - stand up, stretch, grab water."
Word for word is fine. The room won't know.
Work the move
- 01Insert micro-breaks every 45-60 minutes
- 02Switch activity type (from discussion to hands-on)
- 03Change the room configuration
- 04Quick poll or quiz to re-engage
