How to rehearse a presentation and prepare for tough questions

Use my connected Open Talk tools to prepare this practice. Use the sample details below unless I give you my own. Study goal: Present with confidence and handle questions Practice language: English Scenario: Pitch a pilot project to leadership Background: You have five minutes to pitch a two-week pilot to leadership. Start with a short opening that names the problem and asks for a decision. The audience wants to understand why the pilot should happen now, what could go wrong, and how you will judge it. Success: Make one clear request in the opening. In Q&A, answer the question directly, give one supporting detail, and name any uncertainty that affects the decision. Prepare one practice script under the scenario, with these coach questions and short sample replies I can adapt: 1. Please open your presentation and tell us what decision you want us to make. Name the problem, the pilot you’re proposing, and the decision you need today. 2. Why should we run this pilot now? Name the problem and explain what you need to learn before a decision. 3. What could go wrong? Name the biggest risk and say what you’d do if it happened. 4. How will we know if it worked? Choose one measure and explain what result would justify continuing. Switch to Edit mode if needed. Reuse an exact matching active goal if its language matches, or create a new goal. Ask me if the match is ambiguous. Save the scenario under that goal, then save its practice script. Use hypothetical sample replies where I haven't given you personal details. If the scenario already exists, tell me where to find it and ask before changing it or its script. Report which items were saved only after the Open Talk tools confirm them. If you cannot save, tell me what is missing and give me the draft goal, scenario, and script to add manually. Wait for me to ask before starting rehearsal.
