If someone asks you a question…
Here’s a radical idea…
Answer it!
Yes, I know that might be the most blindingly obvious suggestion you have ever read
And, it is also among the most unusual!
Listen to politicians, colleagues at work, members of your family – how rarely people answer the question being asked
So, today, if someone asks you a question, answer it
And be clear (understandable by a ten year old), Concise (understandable by a ten year old, in a lift) and Compelling (understandable by a ten year old, in a lift, and worded in a way that is interesting to the person asking (or listener, if you are on the radio etc.)

I was about to interview Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, and Samir Guesmia of The Molten Group – http://www.molten-group.com/ stood in for a technical rehearsal to check lights/sound etc. Little did I know what would happen next!
