Passivity arises from: long monologues, sitting without purpose, no clear chance to participate, FOMO (people scrolling on their phone). Prevent it: 1) Never have someone speak for longer than 10 minutes without interaction. 2) Make it impossible to be passive while standing or walking around. 3) Explicitly give everyone a role: voting, writing, discussing. 4) Don't switch phones off, but channel them (live poll, photo challenge). 5) Make sure the first 5 minutes are gold—bring people along at the start, not halfway through. 6) Keep groups small (5-8 people), because large groups = anonymity = passivity. 7) Remove physical barriers—round table > theatre setup. Live Impact eliminates passivity by design.
