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

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

To me, that idea of having a “best” answer mindset is so much more empowering than…
The right answer
The perfect answer
The answer they want to hear

It may be that the best answer you can give is to boot out the question! Build a library of short, credible but courteous rebuttal lines you can deliver confidently - it’s a lovely thing to have in your back-pocket.

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

 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."
