“How do I handle tough questions after my presentation?” This is one of the questions posed during our public speaking workshop with RGE. I shared my 3-step process: 1. Thank the person who asked. “That’s a very good question you raised…” 2. Clarify the question. “If I heard that correctly, you were asking about…” 3. Answer or don’t answer. By this time, you’ve already gathered 10-20 seconds to think of the answer. So if you have an answer, share it. If you don’t have an answer, say: “Can I get back to you (tomorrow) as I’ll need to check with the team/boss OR do some more research?” Your turn, any tips? ———- Thanks to Philip Fenton and the awesome RGE for such a fun and interactive session!
