Put On The Spot

Sometimes we’re put on the spot with unexpected questions. Sometimes people ask questions with a positive interest and intention, and sometimes not.

Next time you’re put on the spot, here’s a trick you can use: ask questions. You can say: That’s a good question, what do you think? Ask for the question to be repeated or repeat the question yourself. Ask for clarification or just start asking lots of questions of your own.

Asking questions will not only give you a bit more time to think, but it will also give you a little more input over the direction the conversation takes.
