How to create a dynamic atmosphere in your meeting

By Paul Reid

• Think about it – it’s never an accident.

• Come ready – prayed up, fired up and ready for anything.

• Start well – where you start effects where you go.

• Lead the thing – you set the tone or someone else will.

• Think like a listener – ask how your young people are used to receiving information and communicate with that in mind.

• Think 3 dimensionally – young people never think flat! So don’t think flat! Think sound, sight, smell, feel.

• Engage people from the front – it helps them relax and gives them permission to have a good time.

• Finish well – it’s what they will remember.

• Think holistically – from when they leave home to come to you even until they arrive home after your event, it all counts.

• Have fun – you and them will get bored quick.
