How to handle audience questions during your presentation

Presentations can be scary.

And one of the parts that frighten people the most is answering questions from the audience.

On our presentation skills training courses, we often find delegates are worried questions will blow their presentation off course and undo the good work that has gone before.

Or they will face a question they won’t know how to answer.

And that’s a shame because being asked questions should be embraced. It shows the audience is interested, engaged and keen to learn more about your subject.

In this blog that has been converted to audio, we explore how presenters should handle questions during a presentation.
