And even if you can’t build those things in, nothing stops you from asking your audience, a few days after the lecture (either through the host or by providing a sign-up sheet at your talk where you collect their email addresses): Do they have any new questions now that they’re back at work? Did they use anything you said? What happened? Is there a topic that now, since they’re back at work/life, they wish you’d covered? Can they suggest ways to make the experience they had with you more active, engaging, or interesting?
