Difficult audiences
Do not get angry with the Audience your strong point is being
calm and good natured, thus keeping control.
Hostile question disarm them, thank person for question (make them feel good)
Hostile question hand back, if they couch an opinion as a question ask them what they think
Hostile question pass over, only works with 15 or less audience. Pass question to another audience member who you know.
Hostile question defer question or park.
Mr Angry empathy is the key, don't have to agree but you do need to listen and understand their point.
Difficult audiences
Attention
If audience attention wavers you can
- audience may be tired / thirsty, give them a break, ask for
feedback (may not be suitable)
- you may be more interested than them, so in this case elicit
feedback from them, or get them to work with each other.
- finish presentation professionally.
Heckling
- smile and ignore
- ask them to shut up and leave the room
Anticipation raise first, meet trouble makers first
