Spend more time listening than talking (but
of course, as a presenter, you will be doing
most of the talking).
Do not answer questions with questions.
Plan responses after others have finished
speaking...NOT while they are speaking.
40. They
Keep cool if a questioner disagrees with
you. You are a professional! No matter
how hard you try, not everyone in the
world will agree with you!
When a question is asked, repeat the
question to ensure that everyone heard it
(and that you heard it correctly).
