Answer: Social Proof
![Page 9: Using Ice Cream Theory to Break Through Meeting & Presentation Silence](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab06681a28abd35e8b6835/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What is Social Proof?
“People assume the actions of others in an attempt to reflect correct behaviour for a given situation”
![Page 10: Using Ice Cream Theory to Break Through Meeting & Presentation Silence](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab06681a28abd35e8b6835/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Or to put it simply..
“People will copy what others do, especially if everyone else is doing it”
Also known as herd mentality

So..what has social proof got to do with breaking silence in meetings/presentations?
![Page 13: Using Ice Cream Theory to Break Through Meeting & Presentation Silence](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab06681a28abd35e8b6835/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

A lot. Audience is unwilling to be the first person to ask a question
![Page 14: Using Ice Cream Theory to Break Through Meeting & Presentation Silence](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab06681a28abd35e8b6835/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Ever noticed how typically the first question has a snow-ball effect and leads to many more?

What can a meeting leader or presenter do to break through this silence?
![Page 16: Using Ice Cream Theory to Break Through Meeting & Presentation Silence](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070510/58ab06681a28abd35e8b6835/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Try one of the following 3 techniques;
1. Designated Question Asker(for Managers only)
Manager selects a peer who MUST ask a question at any time
This normally gets the ball rolling..

2. Check-in With Your Audience More Regularly
Instead of waiting till the end of your meeting/presentation check in more often.
E.g. After an important slide

3. Prepare 1-2 easy questions beforehand
Note: Aim here is to create the environment for questions
