HOW Best to GET and ANSWER Them?
Questions & Answers Can be an Important Part of Your Presentation.
HOW Best To GET and ANSWER Them?
In Your Opening, Tell the audience WHEN you’ll handle questions.
At the appropriate Time, Don’t say, “Do you have any questions?”
Better to raise Your Hand and Ask, “What questions do you have for me?”
When Answering a Question:
Look the Questioner directly in the eye.
Finish a thought.
Move your eyes to another person and finish a thought.
Repeat till answered.
If You Don’t Move Eye Contact to Others:
They could ask a Follow-up Question.
You could answer it.
You end up in a conversation and exclude others!
DON’T Stare! NO ONE likes to be Stared at!
If Don’t Know or Can’t Remember Answer: NEVER
Lie or Fake an Answer.
Throw the Question out to the Audience.
If You Do. . .
You could lose control.
Answers given may be wrong.
Time Management Issues multiply.
DO Say.
“Catch me after the presentation and we’ll figure this out.”
With a Large Audience, and especially if No Mic for People asking Questions. . .
Repeat the Question so All Hear It.
Perhaps Paraphrase it.
