Creating effective business presentations/Developing business presentations/Video signpost - Padron

Any time you get an audience that's paying attention, you enjoy it more.

In our second video - BananaMana TV: Andrew Bryant of Self-Leadership International: Ep 10. How to Answer Questions on Your Presentation. [3:55 min.] - Bryant encourages you to welcome questions because they show you have engaged your audience; your audience wants to know more. He offers tips on how to
 * anticipate challenging questions,
 * suggest questions to stimulate discussion, and
 * paraphrase audience questions to demonstrate respectful listening.

Bryant also suggests specific strategies to address possible audience concerns and questions to which you don’t know the answer, or that indicate a conflicting agenda, illustrated with practical business examples.

This final video – Stanford Graduate School of Business: Answering Tough Questions. [11:01 min.] - provides effective, respectful response strategies for questions to which you don’t know the answer, cannot give the answer, or when you are ‘guilty as charged.’ The speakers provide practical business examples of these questions and demonstrate how to address them through an entertaining ‘do’s and don’ts’ role-play approach.
