Answering Questions So People Understand and Remember What You Say - 1

Answer One Question at a Time; Avoid Multiples.
When someone asks you multiple questions in one large chunk, you have several choices:

(1) Answer all of them.

(2) Pick one or two to answer.

(3) Lump them all together and give a general answer.

Examples:

"You’ve asked three good questions. For the sake of time, let me deal with only the last one…." "Whoa--I don’t know if I can remember all those. Let me pick out a couple to respond to…." "Your questions really all point to one concern, I think: Do we know how to Y? I can answer in a word--yes."
