Art of Capturing Attention

The Q&A session is always most informative if not entertaining.

When hundreds of competitors gather at a seminar or presentation, the challenge is to create an impression to the key decision makers, whose opinion, no matter how subjective they are, could influence our prospects for the next few years.

The problem is, how to make a smart impression by asking the right and intelligent question, instead of appearing foolish/immature/arrogant (due to ignorance) by asking those 'oh-goodness-could-you-please-do-you-due-research-and-exercise-your-common-sense' questions, maybe sometimes for the sake of voicing yourself?

As witnessed at those seminars when speakers are renowned national and corporate leaders, so as at sessions held by ad-coms.

Of course, at the other end, there is a proposition that simply by voicing yourself and making your presence felt, a person would have marketed himself/herself better than a quieter thinker, and hence can obtain more opportunities and thereby achieve more success.

It's a sophisticated art to be further polished at MBA school.
