If you're anything like me, the speech part is fine, it's the questions at the end that's the tricky part.
So, how do you handle questions? How do you deal with difficult questions? What approach should you take to hostile questioners and what do you do when you don't know the answer to the question?
That's what we're covering in this week's episode.

So, here's the link to the article https://www.greatspeech.co/speeches-by-women/ I didn't want to give you in the last episode, to avoid the spoiler of what made it to my Top 3.
What do you think of my list of great speeches by women? Do you agree or disagree? What have I missed?
Best to go back and listen to Part 1 first, where I count down from #10 to #6 on my list.
