We are going from live entertainment to TV
In live entertainment, I can throw the spotlight on you, I can talk directly to you and snap you out of any Coma that you fall into
Have you ever binge watched anything during Covid 19?
3 episodes of the Mandolorian later your thinking, "Wait that's not Baby Yoda?"

Breakout rooms

  • Not used enough in Toastmaster meetings
  • Have a meeting with an Escape Room theme, (prizes, for learning what the executive committee wants or does)
  • It's less intimidating than talking to the whole group
  • Adds engagement faster
  • create competions
