I personally find asking questions more nerve racking than giving a talk. With a talk I've probably practiced it 20 times and have pretty pictures to help illustrate my points. For questions you have to think rather quickly to make yourself not sound like an idiot in the 20 second window you have, possibly on a topic of mere interest, but little expertise.
- samatman 16y agoOne of the reasons to have a notepad out during a presentation is to write down questions as they occur. Generally, I find interesting questions hit me in the middle of a talk. That's usually where the presenter is rushing through a little, or sketching out main points that may not all get followed up later.
