How to Use Wordclouds to Build Rapport with International Audiences

There are many of you who present or facilitate sessions with international audiences, or indeed have experience of being a member in a diverse audience. You can appreciate that it is one of the more challenging situations in which to ensure everyone is attentive, engaged and understanding the content being presented.

Here is a simple way you can use a WordCloud (available now on the latest version of ParticiPoll) and engage an international audience at the start of your presentation. 

WordClouds are a method for visually presenting text data. They are popular for text analysis because they make it easy to spot word frequencies. The more frequent the word is used, the larger and bolder it is displayed.

Show interest in the geographical diversity of your audience.
