Question time can feel like the most unpredictable - and nerve-wracking - part of giving a talk. You’ve prepared your slides, rehearsed your key points… but what about the questions you can’t anticipate?
In this episode, Jen and Michael share practical strategies to help you approach Q&A with more confidence (and maybe even enjoyment).
They discuss why it’s okay not to have all the answers, how to respond to challenging or “prickly” questions, and how a little preparation can go a long way. From planning for the questions you’re most worried about to strategically inviting the ones you want, this episode reframes question time as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Ultimately, Q&A isn’t a test, it’s a chance to engage, get feedback, and continue the conversation.
