Yes, your comment made sense
Manage episode 418641193 series 3573172
We have all sorts of verbal ways to communicate that we’re a little unsure of the point we’ve made or the objection we’ve raised. We can sometimes use phrases like “Does that make sense?” to soften the blow or to hedge our bets… maybe it’s a little bit like the old stereotype of the “Australian” upward inflection?
I think we can also find ourselves using the phrase “Does that make sense?” as a way of throwing to the other person. Perhaps a more confident way of doing that is just to say “What do you think?” At which point the editor can swoop in and remove that bit so it sounds like your guest had a great thought to jump off from yours.
You don’t have to be an assertive powerhouse when giving or conducting podcast interviews. But you can probably stand to be a little more confident in your contribution.
