You've told a compelling story, you've designed dazzling PowerPoint slides, you've overcome your fear of public speaking, and your presentation was magnificent; now you open the floor to questions. Unless you handle them well, all of your other efforts will go up in smoke. You must stand tall in the line of fire, and learn how to handle tough questions.
The stakes are just as high whether those tough questions come at the end of your business presentation, pitch for funds, a raise, or even a job interview.
In the Line of Fire: An Interactive Guide to Handling Tough Questions, is a companion to the book, In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions ... When it Counts, published by Pearson Prentice Hall. This DVD contains illustrative video clips of tough Q&A sessions in the public arena and the lessons you can learn from them.
We've programmed the DVD so that you can watch it straight through or visit ... and revisit... the lessons chapter-by-chapter. To enhance the lessons, we'll be interactive: at several points in the DVD, we'll ask you a question, then pause and ask you to press the pause button on your DVD player or computer and think about the question. You'll get the answer when you press play again.
To focus on the video examples, we've condensed some of the lessons, but you can find all of them in the book, and in greater detail. For best results use the book and the DVD together, but either one will help you stand tall in the line of fire.
