A Classic Mistake

Classic Mistake
 
Here’s a classic mistake when asking a question of a speaker.

To ask two? Or three? Or even four? All packed into one? As if a mini-speech which no-one else in the room is really interested in. They just want an answer from the speaker.

To the one question.

Not four.

Short, clear, single-minded questions invariably yield the most revealing answers.

What’s yours?

 In 2019 I had the pleasure of working with Simon while pitching at the final of The Venture, the most important competition for social entrepreneurs. Simon not only helped me to deliver a perfect pitch to an audience of 2,500 people, he also helped me to improve my body language and storytelling abilities.

I am very certain that I won that contest thanks to Simon's help."
