How do you help encourage & get him/her back into the right state again? Or at least add some refreshing air into the awkward silence...? I've been thinking about this quetion...the best I could come up with was to cheer "Gol~~!!" (Seriously, mistake is sth to be celebrated...and this 'Gol' thing is from a maestro of Argentine Tango..) Dan had a different answer, which turned out to be very effective last night. Ask the speaker questions. 1. What's the Message? 2. What are the stories/examples/evidence you have for us? Saved the speaker, saved the audience. Maybe sometimes we don't have to take a speech, and the damned stage, too seriously. In any other situation, when your friend get stuck, you definitely will do something about it, to keep the conversation going (instead of sitting there feeling weird), won't you? what do you do when your friend forgot his/her speech content on the stage?

Ask the speaker questions.

1. What’s the Message?
2. What are the stories/examples/evidence you have for us?

Saved the speaker, saved the audience.

Maybe sometimes we don’t have to take a speech, and the damned stage, too seriously. In any other situation, when your friend get stuck, you definitely will do something about it, to keep the conversation going (instead of sitting there feeling weird), won’t you?
