\u201cWhen I\u2019m giving a presentation, what should I do if I don\u2019t know the answer to a question or need time to think?\u201d<\/p>\n
People ask me this a lot. So let me share four tips here.<\/p>\n
1. Paraphrase<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cParaphrasing\u201d means repeating in your own words what someone else said. Paraphrasing audience questions is powerful.<\/p>\n
First, it shows the questioner that you\u2019ve heard and understood them. People like to be heard and understood.<\/p>\n
Second, if you misinterpreted their question, they can immediately restate it to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n
Third, it gives you a bit of extra time to think about your answer.<\/p>\n
2. Say \u201cLet me think about that\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
If you need more time to think, let your audience know. When we\u2019re giving a presentation (or speaking up in a team meeting, or making a sales pitch), we often feel under pressure to respond immediately.<\/p>\n
Human beings aren\u2019t good at thinking under pressure. If we clearly say, \u201cLet me think about that,\u201d the pressure eases slightly and an answer is more likely to come to us.<\/p>\n
3. Ask a question back<\/b><\/p>\n
You can also ask if anyone else in the audience has the answer. Or ask a related question.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, when you take the pressure off yourself that way, an answer will come to you and you can share your response after the other person has finished speaking and you\u2019ve acknowledged them.<\/p>\n
4. Be honest if you don\u2019t know the answer<\/b><\/p>\n
You can simply say, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t know the answer to that.\u201d Provided you can show your expertise in other areas, people will forgive you for not knowing everything. And, if you admit that you don\u2019t know the answer to a particular question, your honesty will help to build trust.<\/p>\n
You may be tempted to say that you\u2019ll find out the answer and let people know. Be careful what you commit to because you need to follow up. So you could simply say that you don\u2019t know. Or you could ask people to contact you later if they want you to follow up (then you only follow up if they really want you to).<\/p>\n
Bottom line: as Mark Twain said, \u201cWhen in doubt, tell the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
