Probably, if what they're listening to is very interesting they will have no other option than to pay attention. Bringing in comedy you can also make it lively.

One best way to keep their attention is to go straight to the point. Stick to what your agenda and always engage them during every step of the way and the meeting should not be time consuming.

It's very important for you not to be boring with your presentation because it's one of the easiest ways to make people lose interest in whatever you're saying to them.

Yes, the discussion needs to be something that is very engaging. Once you are able to engage them in an interesting conversation then most of them will be listening.

I agree that the agendas should be given not that vague. Being clear with the topics are also a good option. For some reason, it is also nice if they can include photos or images to capture their attentions or for those who are poor on imagination.

You as the manager has to be lively to keep the meeting interesting and have people's attention. Give room for people to express their opinions and they would give you attention.

 

[Johnson2468]

At the meeting, you can use real life issues or experience to explain somethings and make it more enjoyable so as to make your attendees attentive and able to get your information

When you're the only one talking, you would not have the attention of the other staff. After all, you are having a meeting with yourself.
