Fear. Most of us have experienced fear about being asked questions at the end of a presentation that we may not know the answer to. Have you ever been rolling along smoothly in a presentation only to be rattled by a sharp or even accusatory question? Your confidence takes an immediate hit but in our presentation training courses San Francisco, presentation training San Jose, and presentation training class Boston, we explore the emotions behind this and methods to deal with the tough questions and the sometimes difficult person asking them.
When we explore the issue of tough questions, perspective is key. After all, a question is simply a question. Two factors that can have us look at a question as tough are: first, "we" think we need to know every answer. Second, the person asking the question imposes their "you should know the answer" on us in a forceful way. During our presentation training courses San Francisco, presentation training San Jose, and presentation training class Boston, we discuss the role of the egoic mind that gets triggered by other people’s expectations of us.
The simple reply to this is to acknowledge to yourself that you simply cannot know the answer to everything; absolutely not a possibility. Therefore, a huge pressure should be relieved at this admission. You can practice getting a handle on permanently adopting this point of view when you participate in our presentation training courses San Francisco, presentation training San Jose, and presentation training class Boston.
Finally, the tough “questioner” is no reflection on you; that is his or her dominating ego that craves power. We discuss ways to disarm these aggressive people during our presentation training courses San Francisco, presentation training San Jose, and presentation training class Boston.
