EFFECTIVE Q&A

THE BENEFITS - FROM LECTURING TO LEARNING

Building Q&A into your presentation fundamentally changes the dynamic between you, the speaker, and the audience — in a good way.

The point of the presentation isn’t to let us talk. It is to create an exchange of views and information.

• Active engagement has been shown to boost attentiveness, understanding, and retention. • Effective Q & A will improve your audience’s understanding of your material. • Q & A shows how your work is being perceived by others. • Q & A allows you to get more information out about your product or topic. • It will create a more democratic and collaborative atmosphere, allowing people to see how their thoughts compare with others. • Your audience will feel that their individual questions and concerns are being addressed. • Even individuals who are reluctant to speak up feel empowered and everyone feels more committed and involved in your project
