Let's Take This Outside
Nothing kills the energy of a speech like the Q&A portion.
Picture this: You just delivered an awesome presentation and ended on a high note with your closing leading to cheers and goodwill. You bask in the glow of the adulation and positive energy. Then it’s time to take questions…
Nothing kills the mood like a question and answer session. Why not take questions at the back of the room after your presentation is over? You can then make it more personal and a better experience for everyone. Besides, most “questions” are more like statements and often only relevant to a handful (at best) of the people there.
