9 Tips for Handling Public Speaking Questions

How you handle questions from an audience can often be the deciding factor as to how your presentation is received. If you’re pitching for business, then it’s absolutely vital to handle questions well.

1. Be prepared for questions – When you write your presentation, think about what you’re likely to be asked and what your answer is going to be. Maybe you won’t want to answer a particular question there and then, so think about what you’ll say to satisfy the questioner.

2. Make it clear at the start – You may decide to take questions as you go or at the end of your presentation. Whatever you decide, make it clear at the start and don’t change your mind. I would suggest questions at the end in a short presentation; if you take questions as you go, then your timing will get knocked out. And always remember, an audience won’t forgive you for taking half an hour when you were only scheduled to speak for fifteen minutes.

3. Never finish with questions – Far better to ask for questions five or ten minutes before the end, deal with the questions and then summarise for a strong finish. Too many presentations finish on questions and the whole thing goes a bit flat – particularly if you don’t get any.

4. Listen – When asked a question, listen and look like your listening. It may be something you’ve heard a million times before. Treat the questioner with respect and don’t trivialise their point.

5. Thank the questioner – It’s only polite, it shows respect and it gives you a bit more time to consider your answer.

6. Repeat the essence of the question – Some people may not have heard the question so your answer may not make any sense to them. It can also be irritating for them not to hear the question. Again, it gives you more time to think of the answer and it makes you look so clever and in control.

7. Answer to everyone – Don’t fall into the trap of only answering the questioner. If they happen to be near the front then you could end up having a conversation with them and exclude everyone else.

8. Keep it simple – Many speakers, when it comes to questions, have become more relaxed and the fact that someone is interested enough to ask them a question, leads them to go on too long with the answer – DON’T.

9. Don’t bluff or bluster – If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so and find out. Suggest to the questioner that you’ll ‘phone them or come and see them with the answer. It can even be a good way to make further contact after the presentation.

As we all know, it’s possible that you may not be asked any questions and you then have that awkward silence. People may be thinking about what you’ve just said and may need more time to ask. They may also be a bit shy and may take a few minutes to speak out. Why not have a question of your own prepared and say something like. “You may be asking yourself………?” If you still fail to get any questions then go straight into your summary and closing statement.

Handling a question and answer session well, demonstrates your professionalism and reflects on your message.

Seven Ways to Make Your Fiction Compulsive Reading

Do You Have What It Takes to Grab and Hold Reader Attention?
Does your fiction writing do the sales work for you?
Do you have that magic ingredient to hold readers until story’s end?
What are readers looking for in a good read anyway?

This article tells you how the What’s In It For Me? (WIIFM) formula, normally applied to commercial endeavors, is equally important to readers who are browsing or scanning fiction looking
for that next good read.

What’s In It For Me? is all about you giving something of value. This is what attracts and holds your reader. As a fiction writer this thing of value that you give to the reader is an experience.

An experience is an exchange between the story and the reader that sets up a thinking and feeling connection for the reader.

When a reader first approaches any story they have no connection, no feeling response. At this point no exchange has occurred and no experience has begun.

It is your story’s responsibility to move the reader into a state of connection by giving them a thinking and feeling experience. The better the experience, the more your story is valued.

How You Create an Experience for Your Reader.
Your fiction story is built from components: plot, structure,
characters, action, description, dialogue and your writing style.
It is from these components that an experience can be created if you ensure they have quality.

Without quality components your writing will be, at best, bland or uninteresting (default reader disconnection: browsing on to the next book), or at worst, even irritating (active reader disconnection:
noting never to look at that author’s works again).

Rigorously apply the following checklist to your story, before and during writing. This ensures each component contributes to a quality reader experience?

Plot
 Does it offer enough temptation for the reader to come along for the ride? (Apply this question to every component.)
 Are the twists and turns believable even if incredible?
 If it’s a simple or well-used plot, remember that more responsibility for creating reader experience will therefore fall on the other components of your story.

Structure
 Have you chosen a structure that presents the story in its best form and light? Or did you pick the easiest or most familiar structure without thinking about it?

Character
 Here is your most important opportunity to give the reader an experience. If you don’t create connection here your reader has little reason to stay with the story.
 Psychological depth and originality create some of the most compelling and successful characterizations. Are you creating characters using a ‘cut and paste’ approach from elsewhere in fiction or life? Or are you originating from within your own creative depths, having absorbed observations and experiences from life and let that settle into the mix within yourself? A Philip Marlow character or an unfamiliar (new) mix of traits?

Action
 Are your action scenes genuinely originating out of your characters’ interactions with the plot and each other? Or are you artificially imposing action responses onto your characters? The latter can lack believability and lose the connection you may have established with the reader via other components of your story.

Description
 Enough or too much? Are you including trivia? Are you omitting vital ’show don’t tell’ information about character, place, purpose, atmosphere. Is your description integral to the transmission of the plot, characters, action, your style, the story’s tone? The reader’s feeling experience can be enormously enhanced by judicious use of description. It helps create that virtual reality experience that takes the reader deeper into the story.

Dialogue
 The most important questions to consider with dialogue are: Is it worth saying? and; Is it said well? Delete, or replace with valuable content as necessary.
 A note on using street talk. Beware; great skill needed. Reading written translations of this material can be tedious.
 Similarly, with jargon or accented language use this sparingly and with skill, otherwise it is painful to read. Err on the side of using regular written language with tweaking to support your style, story tone, or the character’s personality or background.

Your Style
 Some writers forget or choose not to develop this and just copy someone else’s style or a generic style. This can work if the other components of your story are strong.
 If you specifically try for the creation of your own writing style or ‘voice’, remember to create a style aimed at benefiting the reader, not your self image. If the former leads to the latter, great. The flow goes one way only. You may need to experiment or workshop this style. Look for a feel, a pace, a tone, a way of thinking, speaking or moving that creates the type of energy you want for your story, characters, narrator and action. Find an integrated, fundamental way to write this energy into your story components. Each time you sit down to write your next scene you need to put yourself into that energy, that style, that feel, to maintain consistency and quality.

Briefly
Practice these seven components with short written versions to ensure you have a quality experience to offer your reader. Try standard ten-minute exercises. This will give you an idea of which components you are ready, and which need more development.

And always apply your maxim: What thinking and feeling experience are you giving your reader? Are you taking them there? Or are they just watching from the outside while you go there?

Hidden…

Truth. Eyes shall not see.

A beauty which is lie.

Smile of melancholy.

A vision of merriment,

In your face I have seen.

Did my ears fooled me?

Your heart weeps, I have heard.

You have shown irony.

Why? Ashamed? Afraid?

Bring forth your courage

And allow your heart to speak.

Being your friend,

I’m ought to hear

What are the moans

Hidden inside there.

Home Fitness Equipment Offers Many Options

If you’re in the market for home fitness equipment, you might be surprised by the variety of choices available. With everything from rowing machines and elliptical set ups, it’s hard for a shopper to know what’s best to furnish a home gym.

Getting started creating a home gym should begin first with a self-evaluation. Running out and buying a machine for the home that won’t get used doesn’t make a lot of sense. Figure out what you hope to achieve with a home fitness routine, what you like to do, what you might stick with and go from there.

If overall strength training and weight loss are the goals, a number of different machines can fit the bill. Those machines that do a good job of providing total, or nearly total body workouts include ellipticals, rowers and some smith models. Other typical home machines include treadmills and exercise bikes. All offer their own benefits.

The key to getting a total body workout is to include not only the visible major muscle groups, but also the cardiovascular system. By doing this, the person who is working out in a home gym will find that not only do the arms, legs and back get strengthened, endurance can also be improved.

Perhaps the most holistic machine a home fitness shopper can look for is an elliptical. Combing the benefits of a number of different machines in a single low-impact, but solid workout, an elliptical is one of the few pieces of home gym equipment that can boast total body effects. Rowers, smith machines and even a good treadmill will come close to the mark, but a few other forms of exercise might also be needed to achieve that total body effect.

In general, when looking for the best in fitness equipment, it’s a good idea to first set a smart budget, decide what kind of workouts you hope to get and then shop for a machine accordingly. Whether it’s an elliptical or a stationary bike, the key to lasting use is finding a machine that will grow with you. Make sure different programming features are available, varying resistance options and more. Plus, make sure what ever you buy has some safety and comfort features standard as well.

Once a machine is chosen for a home fitness program, keeping motivated will often depend on the equipment’s ability to grow along with you and your own personal attitude. What works on Day One might not be challenging enough a year into an exercise program, so the smart buyer purchases a product with some flexibility.

Creating a home fitness center is a very attainable goal on just about any budget. While most machine models will cover the budgetary spectrum, even more affordable models can, and often do, provide solid workouts.

What ever you end up with in your home gym, remember the best fitness routine involves the entire body. To ensure you stick with a routine, pick one that’s not only fun and challenging, but also provides some room for growth.

Having Difficulty Writing A Compelling Offer? Click On A TV

Yes it’s true. Everything I ever needed to learn about assembling a compelling offer, especially telling the difference between features and benefits, I learned from TV
infomercials!

Now, just give me a second here.

Remember when you first started learning how to write copy? Whether for a classified ad or a sales letter, it was drummed in that it had to be a ‘compelling offer,’ heavy on
benefits, not features.

But, telling the difference between benefits and features, plus putting together the offer in a convincing way, was a bit tough.

Then, late one night, I stumbled (clicked?) onto a secret treasure trove of ideas, that I’ve continued to use to this day.

If you want to hear benefit-laden offers presented in a emotional and compelling manner, just watch the infomercials!

Note how they effectively use the following (think you could incorporate any of these in your offers?):

*Testimonials. The participants describe the products used on a very emotional level. Because they took a chance and ordered, their complexions are now clearer, waistbands looser, their meat grills easier (and with less fat)…

By positioning the testimonials in such a way that the audience identifies with them makes the ‘what’s in it for me’ come across in a very clear and compelling way.

*The Concept of Value. A full-size product comes with a free ‘travel size.’ The order comes complete with bonus audio tapes and ‘quick start’ videos. Or you get a lovely bathrobe along with the leg waxing kit.

*Proof. An extension of the testimonial, benefits are often presented visually. Before/after pictures are shown for a weightloss product or acne treatment. Live makeup demonstrations show how beauty can be yours, instantly. Copies of cancelled checks are displayed for houses
purchased using a real estate system.

*Urgency. The products can only be
ordered by 800 number, available only
during the show. Or there is only a limited amount of product available. A counter is shown onscreen, rapidly clicking down towards zero. It’s a clear message: if you don’t buy now, you miss out!

*Ironclad guarantee. Infomercials always include a 30-day trial period. And the chance to keep part of the offer ‘as their gift’ if they decide to return the product. It’s presented as a no risk, win-win situation. Always.

*The Upsell. When you call to order, the operator’s script always includes an upsell. Offering vitamins to go along with the fitness equipment. Or complimentary magazine subscriptions. They capitalize on the customer’s mood to buy.

So, if the thought of how to write a
compelling offer is keeping you up at
night, do yourself a favor, and just hit your TV’s power button.

Anthony Robbins, Carlton Sheets, Vanessa
L. Williams, Ron Popeil, George Foreman, Susan Powter, Victoria Principal, et al, I salute you!

Super deal 25000 dollar at a solid rate of 7.5 percent

Analyze to see if the bank who wants to give you a bank loan is respectable. You should be sassy today to investigate if you have a great deal or if you don’t with the merchant bank that offers you a credit loan. A moneylender in Bloomington Illinois or so can have a total totally different actual interest rate for a 30000 dollar money loan then a merchant bank in Coon Rapids Minnesota and that makes a immense clear gap in your monthly pay backs. It makes no difference if you live in Merced California or in Hialeah Florida a estimable online analysis will allay you often a lot of disoblige. Lots of of the moneylenders wil show you a rate of interest that looks average but feels mischievously or so after some time.

Translated in Dutch it means: Woon je in Berkelland of Medemblik en hebt u BKR verleden. Lenen met een BKR registratie is nergens zo eenvoudig. Verwen jezelf met een nieuwe auto met hoe vecht je een bkr codering aan, 229233 euro is gewoon mogelijk om te lenen. Van Marum tot Ouder-Amstel, financieren met een BKR registratie is hier geen enkel probleem.

Nowadays you can investigate interest rates quickly on the internet and get word if there are other conditions you should know about. 5 percent loan rate may appear so good but will that be unremitting after you’re going to pay back your bank loan. now you really need to inquire and jut if you can have a loan at a honest percent interest rate.

Five Secrets To Successful Interviewing and Hiring

The technical communications profession involves a unique mix of technical and communication skills, which is not easy to find. Most managers have had the experience of interviewing and subsequently hiring a candidate who later turns out not to be the right person for the job. This situation begs the question of how to identify which candidate is a good fit for a given position. The answer is that there are five key activities that make the difference between a successful hiring decision and a not-so-successful one. We have all been on both sides of the interview, and this article will attempt to make you, the interviewer, more successful.

This article covers five key activities, including:

1. Writing a detailed job description
2. Making sure the setting/environment is conducive
3. Conducting a programmed interview
4. Using multiple interviewers
5. Considering testing

WRITING A DETAILED JOB DESCRIPTION

Probably the biggest mistake managers make is to be under-prepared, from the moment they write the job description. Because the job description encapsulates requirements for a given position, you must first have a good grasp of what the position entails, from personality traits to knowledge to skills and experience.

You may include any of the following qualifications in a job description:

* Years of experience (for example, three years of technical editing in a DoD environment)
* Degrees, certifications (for example, B.A. in English or Journalism)
* Physical qualifications (for example, a Web-design position might require color vision)
* Personality traits (for example, excellent communication skills or attention to detail)
* Specialized skills or knowledge (for example, ability to write JavaScript)

Ultimately, the job description is the inspiration for any subsequent interview, so defining the position in detail up front will make finding the right person for the job much easier. Plus, it will help the candidate understand whether the job is right for him or her.

MAKING SURE THE SETTING/ENVIRONMENT IS CONDUCIVE

The setting in which an interview takes place is important and can make the difference between a good interview experience and a bad one. The candidate deserves your full attention and you will be better able to make a decision if you are fully engaged without distractions. Make sure that, at a minimum, your setting entails the following:

* Quiet: Set your phone to “Make Busy” and do not take phone calls or allow interruptions. Make sure you are in a quiet place (for example, an office with a closed door or a conference room). If you are sitting behind your desk, move away from your PC and turn its volume to mute.

* Comfort: Show the candidate where the restrooms are and offer coffee or water if appropriate. If you have a drink, make sure you offer one to your candidate. Offer to take the candidate’s coat or identify a coat hook/rack.

* Time: Adhere to your schedule. If you are interviewing more than one candidate and/or have other meetings scheduled around the interview, make sure one appointment does not overlap the next. Neither of you should be forced to rush through the interview.

* Information: Give your business card to the candidate, so he or she does not have to struggle for your name and will have your name/address handy when writing a thank-you note.

* Invitation: Invite the candidate to sit down. Where the person sits will tell you a great deal, and this will make the person feel more comfortable.

The environment can make the difference between a good interview and a bad one. I once interviewed in an office that was once a closet. The four interviewers sat on the edge of the desk, while I sat considerably below them in a chair. It was intimidating to say the least and it taught me a lot about candidate comfort.

CONDUCTING A PROGRAMMED INTERVIEW

A programmed interview involves defining questions up front, along with acceptable answers, which will tell you whether a candidate possesses each of the qualifications for a given job. One important caveat: consult with your personnel department or manager and make sure you understand the EEOC guidelines as well as the kinds of questions you can and cannot legally ask. To conduct a programmed interview:

* Develop a list of standard questions you will ask all candidates.

* Make sure your questions are open-ended, but limited in scope. (For example, “tell me about a time you had conflicting comments in a document review and how you resolved it” or “tell me about a time you had a tight deadline and you were asked to increase the scope of a document.”)

* Identify a list of minimum acceptable answers. (For example, acceptable answers to the previous question might be “I would schedule a meeting with both reviewers and try to reach a consensus” or “I would work to gain a better understanding of both comments and identify a solution that would work for all parties.”)

* Ask a negative question so you can see how the person handles stress and conflict (for example, “tell me about a situation where you failed” or “tell me about a time when you disagreed with your boss”).

* At the most, you should talk only 25-30% of the time. By mostly listening and observing, you will gain maximum information about each candidate.

* Leave time for the candidate to ask questions. You will see whether the person is prepared and/or took time to research your company. A candidate who does not ask questions probably did not prepare adequately for the interview.

* Observe each candidate. Ask yourself whether each has a business-like presentation and whether they look the part of the job. I also like to see how well they can articulate their role on a given project. It is a bad sign when candidates seem unfamiliar with their own work.

As important as the tangible requirements are for the job, so are the intangible ones. Look for a firm handshake, direct eye contact, professional bearing, and appropriate clothing.

Understanding how to ask questions is very important and there are numerous references on the subject. Years ago, I was asked during an interview whether I planned to have more children. Of course, the question was an illegal one, but a surprising number of people still manage to ask similar questions. Being prepared and informed is the best way to avoid these pitfalls.

USING MULTIPLE INTERVIEWERS

Having more than one person interview a candidate increases your perspective. What you may see and what someone else may see can be quite different. When you are trying to choose between two very good candidates, a second or third opinion will make the decision more clear. You might consider having any of the following participate:

* Technical personnel (perhaps an engineer or programmer who may act as a subject matter expert)

* Other department staff (co-workers can provide excellent feedback as to whether they will feel comfortable with the candidate)

* Personnel staff

Although you may be the person with the ultimate hiring authority, you will find it very useful to be able to talk each candidate over with other people. You may find that they like a candidate you did not or vice-versa. In general, consensus hiring will produce better results than a unilateral hiring decision, so take their feedback seriously.

One manager I interviewed for this article uses a weighted system when considering a candidate: 30% skills, 30% personality, and 40% business-like presentation. In my own experience, the latter two are the greatest predictors of a candidate’s success. When candidates don’t work out, the reason tends to involve how they handle conflict or how well they communicate. You will, of course, need to develop your own system.

CONSIDERING TESTING

Although I have not yet used a test for candidates, I have certainly taken them as part of a job application and I am considering using them in the future. You cannot be sure the candidate shows you work they have actually done, but you will be able to see their work if you give them a test. Many companies develop their own tests. You may consider anything from a personality profile to a writing and/or editing test.

IN CONCLUSION

There is no boilerplate method or template that you can apply directly to your department, group, or company. However, you can use this process as a model to develop your own own process, guidelines, and interview questions. What you look for and what someone else looks for in a candidate are likely to be quite different. But by developing a process, defining the position, and nailing down your questions well in advance before interviewing candidates, you vastly increase the likelihood of a successful hiring decision.
