Handling Obstacles During Presentations

  • Manage Question & Answer sessions by using questions in the analysis, objectives, design, delivery and evaluation phases of the presentation design.
  • Answer questions succinctly(To the Point) so they don't interrupt the flow of their presentation.
  • Deflect personal, hostile or irrelevant questions by answering the question amiably with "see me after."
  • Create a list beforehand of what questions they hope no one asks and then prepare to answer them.
  • Use the pace, tone, and pitch of their voice to create enthusiasm and interest in the audience.
  • Properly use visual aides to support their presentation.
  • Use body language and movement that is effective and not distracting to the audience.
  • Prepare a presentation using a simple but highly effective format.
  • Capture the audience’s attention within the first 60 seconds of the presentation.
