Address your audiences' questions quickly
If someone in your audience has a question or objection, address it immediately. If you don't adapt quickly, they may start to doubt you or continue to think about their question for the remainder of your presentation. Neither is good.
If your manager asks you a question, don't say you'll address it at the end. Instead, answer the question and then get back to your story.

Quickly Address Minor Triggers
The best way to prevent drama and politics from even occurring is to share quickly and tactfully when small issues come up.
If you come from a place of honesty, identifying where you've been inauthentic or not holding up your end of the bargain, you'll maintain an open dialog.
Capturing your audiences at once
- Begin on common ground that everyone can agree on to start positively
- Don't frame your opening in a way that causes people to say "no” immediately
- Avoid saying you will "prove" something, as that can arouse opposition
- Raise a question for the audience to consider r...

As a child grows, so does their number of questions.
No matter how much foolish or irritating their questions are, kindly respect them.
If you know the answer, tell them.
If you don't, admit it. Say, "Son, I dont know the answer to your question. But I will surely tell you th...

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
