Ep. 251 ARE YOU ASKING THE CRITICAL QUESTIONS?
Manage episode 423390303 series 3411797
Speakers make a common mistake when seeking audience participation. They ask “HOW MANY of you…” That question needs a NUMERICAL response. Today Darren and Mark explain how to ask BETTER questions, and how to use the audience’s non-verbal response to enhance their own experience.
SNIPPETS:
• How would you say it over coffee to one person
• Use the language of a conversation
• Respect the versatility of the word YOU’
• Ask you-focused questions
• Put the audience into your story
• Tap into their world, and transport them into yours
• Give the audience time to answer questions in their heads
• Read the audience
• Acknowledge their responses, even non-verbal
• Take inventory of the questions that you ask
• Ask yourself, “Is there a better way to ask that question?”
• Speaking is dialogue, not monologue
