How to Make Meetings Engaging: The "Experience-Impact-Action" Framework"
Let’s be honest—most meetings are 'boring'! They start with, “Hi, I’m XYZ, and today we’ll discuss ABC.”By the time the agenda is read, half the room is disengaged. But what if you could spark curiosity and get everyone actively involved from the first minute?
🔥🔥Introducing the Experience-Impact-Action Framework.
This simple yet powerful structure helps you set the stage for an engaging, solution-driven conversation. Instead of dumping information, you guide the audience through a thought-provoking journey.
🪩 Step 1: ♦️Experience (What?)
Start by sharing a relevant past experience or a case study related to the discussion. This creates an immediate connection and curiosity.
🪩Example:"Last quarter, our marketing campaign struggled with low engagement."
🪩 Step 2: Impact (So What?)
Explain why this past experience is relevant to the current situation. Why should your audience care? What lessons did you learn?

🔹♦️ Step 3: "Action (Now What?)"
Turn it into an open-ended discussion. Invite ideas on how these insights can be applied to the current project. This keeps the audience engaged and focused on solutions.
👉 ♦️Example: "How can we leverage this strategy for our current project?"
♦️💡 Why This Works
🔴Keeps the audience engaged– People connect better when they see real-world relevance.
🔴Encourages participation – Instead of passive listening, it turns meetings into collaborative problem-solving sessions.
🔴Leads to action – The conversation naturally moves towards practical solutio
