A comprehensive post about Q&A - I appreciate it! As a coach for STEM speakers, I’d add this to “required reading” for everyone.

In STEM in particular, the Q&A time is precious - at a conference or at work, and we must make the most out of this potential for ‘connection’ and learning.

P.S.- I love any piece that helps unlearn the habits which don’t serve us. When it comes to effective communication - all the more, of course.

Thank you for the feedback, it's much appreciated! I am from a STEM background and did have to unlearn lots of things as I got into consultancy...

The iceberg model was new for me. I'll have to dig into it more. Sounds promising! My go-to tends to be PAR.
