“Er, but I want to show you our new fill-in-the-blank,” replied the confident presenter.

“I care about my lunch break. What about the chairs in the lunch room?,” continued to questioner.

“Er, but, I was talking about…” replied the less confident presenter.

“And when will we a better brand of coffee?” continued the questions.

The person asking the questions drives the conversation. Take care when inviting questions. The conversation may go in an undesired direction.
