Repeating questions from the podium
What separates a Guerrilla from a non-Guerrilla is often the simple fact that Guerrillas profit from tips and techniques that may not be new, but are—nevertheless—extremely important.

For example, when delivering a presentation or a speech, always repeat questions from the audience.

Remember that you, looking directly at the questioner, are in a better position to hear what they see as well as “read their lips” as they speak.

Those in the audience do not share this advantage. They are often behind, or to one side, of the individual asking a question. As a result, the questioner is not speaking directly to them and they cannot try to “read” the speaker’s lips.

Taking the time to repeat the questions not only buys you time to formulate a response, it ensures that everyone in the audience can understand the question. In addition, you can often restate the question in a more concise and easily-understood format.
