1. Understand the question

  •  Before you plunge into answering a question, make sure you are clear in your mind what the question is about. 

  • There is no harm in seeking clarity over what is being asked. Ask politely "I am sorry, I do not seem to understand what you are asking, would you mind rephrasing?" You will communicate better in such an instance than simply blabbing away with no clarity or understanding. 

  • Remember that the essence of answering questions is for you to make a positive contribution to the one who is seeking an answer. Do not waste time. Seek understanding first.
