Episode takeaways you don't want to miss:

• One of the best ways to prevent an awkward Q&A session is to craft an incredible presentation. The more time you put into this step, the less time you'll spend navigating awkward questions.
• The more comfortable (and experienced) you are with your topic, the more comfortable you'll be answering questions.
• The more often you deliver your content, you'll start to see a trend in common questions.
• Get to know your audience so you know what questions they may ask.
• Brainstorm possible questions that may come up during your presentation.
• Don't be afraid to ask your audience questions. Learn more about what they're asking and why they're asking it.
• Give yourself permission to not answer a question. You don't have to answer every question and people respect honesty.
