So the critical step to avoid making hecklers out of people in your audience is to listen.
It will probably feel far too long for you, and you may even see some people in the audience getting restless, but this is the most effective preventative method to stop them continuing to heckle. You may think that this technique looks transparent, but the heckler will most likely be totally oblivious – they will simply feel “you’ve listened to me”. Most hecklers are made, not born. If people don’t feel listened to they will turn into hecklers.

Do you ever feel like an audience member is attacking you when they ask challenging questions during your presentation? Hopefully, your audience doesn't actually try to discredit you or prove you wrong, as a client recently mentioned to me, but sometimes a particular question can provoke a feeling of anger or defensiveness. Give your audience member the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is truly curious and is asking the question with good intentions. You might get riled up. You might get ruffled.

When I misspelled my final word, I was a little shocked; the audience roared with applause. What I heard in that applause was an audience who was glad to see me eliminated! Somewhere along the way, it was explained to me that I got so much applause because the audience was acknowledging my achievement. When I was in third grade, I took third place in the school spelling bee, behind a fifth grader and a sixth grader. I

So it was not a surprise when one participant asked, "What do you do if you're losing your audience's The daylong training allows for plenty of questions, and I'm always eager to hear what speakers and would-be speakers have on their minds . Here are some of my suggestions:

My strategy for the post-lunch session was to keep the audience involved by asking questions. What I did was have a slide with a question, ask the audience, see what came up, and then reveal the answer I had in mind.
