Comments and questions are welcome, just email me: jllebrun @ scientificreach dot com.I also keep the following pages (More details? See rest of post) Continue reading Dear reader, There are many types of questions and the motivation behind each type is different. Take the clarification question. It is about understanding, or about preparation for the next question. Take the Would it also apply to or work with question. It is about applicability and use. Take the hypothetical or the what if question. It is about careful consideration and exploration. How about the when can we have it question? It is about needs.Before you answer a question, briefly consider the motivation behind the question. It will enable you to answer the broader question which will interest more people than just the questioner. First address the broad question, then the specific question, briefly. Your audience will be more satisfied.The hostile question is never generic. It is specific to one individual unless you triggered it by your behavior during your talk or Q A. Handling a hostile question is therefore different. It is about credibility, honesty, fairness, or behavior. It is personal, and most likely not related to the topic of your presentation. I recommend this old podcast of mine where hostile questions are covered. (The funcast precedes the profcast. So if you want to skip that, go straight to -4.20.) I wanted to put my new Google Pixel 2 phone through its paces by taking a 240 frame per second video of the Cheetah run, a daily event at the San Diego Safari Park.Cheetah runAmazing, isn t it! So lesson number one, keep your eyes on the target. Your target is the title of your talk. It is the reason why your audience came to your talk. Do not deviate from it. Make clear how each slide relates to it.I was intrigued by what the staff was doing before the run. Two people went up and down the one hundred meter track several times to pick up any leaf, or potential distraction away from the center line which the cheetah will follow. So lesson number two, avoid distractions that will defocus your audience such as irrelevant photos, gif files, irrelevant slide backgrounds.The animal had two runs. The second run was one second faster than the first run (an amazing 5.7 second for the 100 meter race). Lesson number three, rehearse. You will be more effective and more concise. But the Cheetah had to rest between the runs to let the heat accumulated during the run dissipate. Do not rehearse back to back too long. Give yourself some time between your rehearsals to recover from rehearsal fatigue.The spectators were watching the Cheetah and the cheetah was looking at the lure. Final lesson: the audience is watching you too. Be at your best
