Some useful tactics
– Stay focused and slow down
– Have some structure – even if it’s retrospective!
– Give yourself thinking time — Repeat, comment, ‘Can I have a minute?’
– Think of the ‘key features’ before you talk
– Seek clarification — ‘Are you looking for an example of...?’
– Ask for feedback — ‘Is this example useful?’
– When in a hole, stop digging — ‘Sorry, I’ve got a bit lost. May I start again?’
