Hi Anna,

I really like Oletta's suggestion - by providing specific asks/questions for participants to focus on, this should help them come prepared.

I've also seen people block out 15-20 minutes on other people's calendars to make time for them to prepare. This may vary based on personal preference, but it's an idea.

Additionally, the stakeholders who've been involved in the research along the way could create some momentum and encourage others to participate and prepare - the more excited and engaged people are, the more productive the session will be.

Hope this helps!
