Practice Answering Questions

Description

For this exercise, first, you'll need to imagine you have just delivered a presentation on your job role. Then you'll practice answering questions on the presentation from the audience.

You'll use this 4 step process to manage the questions:

1. Acknowledge the question and the person asking it by name
2. Create relevance for everybody
3. Use a story as an example and connect the answer to the experience
4. Close, thank, and check-in

You will be asked four different questions in a row. Your responses will be recorded so you can listen back to them afterward for self-evaluation.

Example questions

This exercise has 50+ questions to practice with. Here are some examples:

• Describe a time when you worked in an effective team.
• Describe an occasion when you had difficulties working with a team.
• How do you keep up with advances in your field?
• What experience have you had speaking formally in front of others?
• Tell me about a time when you have chosen not to disclose information to others.
• How would other people describe your communication skills?
