Moment of Truth
It is not enough that you are intelligent and professional, you have to LOOK intelligent and professional. It is not enough that you are intelligent and professional, somebody else has to AGREE that you are. It is important that you do things right the first time. You may not have another chance.

Closed-ended Questions
Unlike open-ended questions, closed-ended questions solicit a one-word response. Typically, you would avoid asking closed ended questions, unless you are working to clarify the group's perspectives or narrow down ideas to a workable number.
"What are some of the other items we could consider under this heading?" "What other remedies for this situation have you found?"
Relay Questions
These questions are returned to the group as in the following example: "That's a good question. How have some of the rest of you handled that problem?"
Reverse Questions
These questions are used to suggest that the person posing the question give his or her own answer. This encourages the participant (Note: Be alert to those who fall
into the habit of asking many questions on topics about which they have strong viewpoints, even to the point of usurping your role.)
