• When someone asks you a question, repeat it (especially if you present to a large group).
• A strong ending is every bit as important as a strong beginning. The beginning and the ending of your presentation should be intimately linked.
• Use changes in melody and pitch to add expression to your voice.
• Use a pause to allow your audience to absorb what you just said
• Manage the time and direction of your Q and A session. Don’t let it run over; keep discussions on track.
• When answering questions, move toward the audience member and square your shoulders to them.
• Understand cultural gesture differences if you present to different cultures on a regular basis.
• Make eye contact with everyone in the room.
• When you plan your ending, think about what you want your listeners to feel, think, and do at the end of your presentation.

• When you ask a question, wait at least ten seconds so that the audience can understand the question, consider an answer, and formulate a reply.
