Ep. 251 ARE YOU ASKING THE CRITICAL QUESTIONS?

Jun 13, 2024

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
