When a colleague interrupts your Q&A session, acknowledge their enthusiasm while maintaining control: 'Thanks for your insight, [Name]. I'll address that right after completing my current response.' This shows respect while preserving the presentation flow. Remember: managing interruptions professionally often strengthens your leadership presence.

When an interruption occurs during a presentation, I remain calm and composed. I briefly thank the person for their input while clarifying that I will address the point later. This allows me to maintain control of the session and ensure a smooth flow without losing the audience's focus. Staying on track while acknowledging the contributor is key.

I would acknowledge the question and try to answer briefly at that time and help him link to later part of topic or shall ask to take it additionally offline

I would listen to what my colleague was so adamnent about interrupting about. Then I would challenge my colleague to assist me with my Q&A session as find out what they have learned in my presentation.

I would try to remain calm and control, acknowledging the interruption politely and redirecting the conversation to the main topic, setting clear rules or asking for the discussion to continue after the presentation if the interruption is not relevant. If the comment is pertinent, I would briefly integrate it to maintain the flow, always using light humor, if appropriate, to ease the situation, and, if available, rely on a moderator to manage the dynamics. The goal is to balance respect for the colleague with the organization of the session.

Best thing is to answer every question of individual but don't let anybody divert you or let them hijack your presentation or any kind of session. tell them will get back to you on that.

Na verdade, eu considero a interrupção até positiva, dependendo do teor das palavras. Sendo uma abordagem sensata, pode contribuir com o tema apresentado, tornando o momento mais interessante e participativo. Por outro lado, se a abordagem da pessoa for insensata, é necessário ser firme para encerrar o assunto e retomar o controle da apresentação. Quem fala em público precisa estar preparado para essas interrupções. Avisar no início se aceita ou não aceita ser interrompido ou se prefere que as pessoas deixem as considerações para o final pode ser uma boa forma de evitar situações desagradáveis.

Grundsätzlich bereite ich mich bei wichtigen Präsentationen auch auf meine Zuhörer sehr genau vor. D.h. ich überlege mir bereits vorab, welche (kritischen oder auch störenden) Einwände oder Fragen auftreten können. In der Präsentation versuche ich im allgemeinen Zwischenfragen zuzulassen, behalte mir aber vor, diese sofort oder zu einem späteren (passenderen) Zeitpunkt aufzugreifen, selbst zu beantworten oder ggf. zur Diskussion zu stellen, z.B. durch die Frage an die Zuhörer: „Was denken Sie über diese Frage/diesen Einwand?“ Stellt sich heraus, dass die Unterbrechung als Machtspiel genutzt werden soll, versuche ich die Aussage zu paraphrasieren und stelle klar, dass an dieser Stelle zwei unterschiedliche Positionen deutlich werden.

I'll set the parameter of the presentation before starting. For instance, let the audience know that questions will be given time at the end of my presentation. This is to ensure the flow of presentation and avoid disruption by my "colleague's question".

Usually, I will just let the person finish whatever he wants to say. If I agree on what he says, I will say that he is right and thank him for contributing. If I disagree, I will thank him for contributing too and take over the conversation from there.
