One of the Best Tips...for Handling Q&A

 1st Feb 2022
One of the best tips I’ve picked up over the years for handling tough Q&A…

“What’s the worst question you could be asked… and what’s your BEST answer?” (Credit: speaker & former broadcast journalist, Michael Dodd)

The perfect answer
The answer they want to hear

En route to the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford for further sessions today on skills for Impromptu Speaking and Q&A.

For sure, the above tips will feature.

What’s one of the ‘worst’ questions you’ve been asked?
