#1: Be excited yourself! If you are excited about what you are doing or talking about, people will naturally follow your example. It is a well-known fact that people want what other people have, so spread your enthusiasm!
#2: Get each individual in your group involved in what you are doing. Give each person a job, a duty or a task that will make them feel important and that other people are relying on them. This will perk up their attitude and make them pay closer attention.
#3: Switch your topic, even if it is just for a few minutes. If you feel like your group is feeling lethargic, surprise them by introducing something completely different than the subject you had been previously talking about.
#4: Get on the same level as your group. Tell a personal story or example relating to your subject. If they are feeling nervous about speaking up or participating, encourage them by telling them about a time when you felt the same way and how you overcame it. Or, if they think the task you are doing together doesn’t make sense, explain it clearly again to make sure everyone can fully enjoy the experience.
