Tips
to get questions from an audience
Always count to five after asking
your attendees for questions (in fact, use the five count technique when you
ask for answers from the audience as well.) This gives time for introverts to
think of something and respond. Extroverts will blurt it out. There are two
times this is most significant:
1. When you ask
for a response for the first time from your attendees you are, in effect,
training them to respond. If you jump in to fill that awkward silence they know
that you’ll rescue them next time and they will remain silent and passive.
Force them to break their silence.
2. When you
have a technical, left-brained, introverted group they are more likely to need
that quiet time to think of their answer. Use humor. Say, “No one likes to ask
the first question, who would like to ask the second?”
