Question & answer Session

KEY POINTS

• A lack of questions after a presentation can make it look as though no one was really
interested in the message.

• You should plan for the Q&A session rather than leaving it to chance.
• Don’t forget that many people who would like to ask a question may not be prepared to

speak out first.

• Ask a colleague to ask a pre-prepared question to get things started or agree with the
chairperson to ask some initial questions.

• Always repeat the question to check that you have understood it and to give yourself
time to think about your reply.

• Have some standard replies ready to deflect questions that you don’t want to answer.

• Remember, a good question and answer session can leave a lasting impression that the
presentation was important and relevant.
