An interesting workout that made me feel particularly conscious about questions and answers during the session as all of them were analysed.

Whether in an interview, a meeting, at the end of a presentation or when you arrive home later than you should, the beautiful answer is the one that usually gives the questioner what they want and always has the effect that you want.

Some people model their answering techniques on politicians, which is ironic given that our elected representatives are considered to be amongst the least trusted professions. Others believe that the perfect answer leaves no scope for further questions and so run the risk of boring their audience with irrelevant detail.

The beautiful answer is a technique for dealing with all questions from the predictable to the curved ball, in a way that improves the lines of communication and increases our chances of having the desired impact on our audience.
