When I give a presentation, a demo, a walkthrough, anything.
If there are no questions, I get squared.
Really, really squared.
Because if there are no questions it means any of the following;
- I completely missed the mark and delivered the wrong content.
- The people in attendance do not care about what I am presenting or the content I am putting forth.
- No one understands what I have just said.
- They are confused.
None of these are good responses.
If you are assuming people are happy and satisfied with what you have just delivered ask yourself one question – when was the last time that I was happy with a presentation and never said anything about it?
Probably never.
