HAVE YOU PLANNED FOR THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THE ROOM?
HAVE YOU THOUGH OF THE BOUNDARIES YOU WANT TO SET?
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF
HOW YOU ARE GOING

FACILITATE
CHECK IF ANYONE HAS A QUESTION BEFORE LEVYING
THE SPACE OF AN IMPORTANT THOUGHT, OR IDEA.
DECIDE HOW MUCH TIME YOU ARE GOING TO ALLOCATE FOR
QUESTIONS. DO NOT ENTERTAIN EVERY
SINGLE QUESTION, TAKE SOME AND THEN MOVE ALONG.
HAVE A FLUID PLAN OF ACTION, CONSIDER THE TOUGHEST AUDIENCE. THINK OF THE TOUGHEST
QUESTIONS THEY CAN ASK AND BE READY FOR THEM.
