Question:
I have recently got a senior position within my company. One of my new tasks is
to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior
officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to
questions.
My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized
that I shouldn't feel that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer
questions in this type of settings?
Answer: Congratulations on your new
position! Presenting in front of your peers (同事) is a hard task in itself,
and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is
required. Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message
and strengthen key points.
When a person is asking a question, show
interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for
clarification.
Buy time
When facing a hard question, most people
can't give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your
own words. These techniques allow you to quickly organize your
thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.
Suggest a private meeting
A one-on-one meeting is a calmer setting
than speaking in front of your peers.
