Ask a Question 🙋♂️
Mastery Discussion
Excellent question, Dara. The secret is to raise your own hand first as you ask the question. This visually gives the audience "permission" to follow you. Also, make sure the question is easy and relatable, like "How many of you drank coffee this morning?" ☕
Is it okay to call out someone specific in the audience to answer a question?
Generally, no! Only do this if you know them very well or if you spoke to them before the presentation. Otherwise, it causes panic and breaks the trust you are building with the room. Stick to group questions first! 🛡️
What if I ask for a "show of hands" and nobody raises their hand?
