As an MSBA student, I often find myself in tricky situations where my peers question the data I present. The key strategy is to remain confident. If you trust your data and the work you've put into it, stand firm when addressing these questions. However, it's equally important to validate and acknowledge the person raising the concern. Thank them for their question to show you value their input. Ensure you can provide a clear and concise explanation of your data—where it came from, how it was collected, and any steps taken to ensure its accuracy. If you have supporting materials, reference them to back up your claims. Don't be intimidated when someone challenges you; embrace the challenge and be confident in your work.

During preparing the data driven presentation, the data source should be properly analysed. Ask yourself the possible questions that can be asked by the audiences. Try to generate a story with the data trends so the peers can be more involved and get insights. For any unknown scenario, staying confident and acknowledge the peer feedback will help to maintain trust.

When your data sources are questioned, handling it with transparency and confidence is key. Start by acknowledging the concern, showing you value their input. Provide additional context by explaining the methodology and sources of the data. If necessary, offer to follow up after the presentation with more detailed information. This demonstrates credibility and openness, helping to regain trust.

When your data sources are questioned during a presentation, calmly acknowledge the concern and emphasize transparency. Share the origin of your data, such as credible reports, studies, or institutions, and explain the methodology behind your research. Offer to provide detailed references or follow up with additional information if needed. Use this as an opportunity to demonstrate your preparedness and credibility. Stay composed, engage in dialogue, and highlight the practical implications of your data to reaffirm trust.

One thing I’ve found helpful is to verify and reference whatever source I use in presentations. However, if your sources are questioned, you remain calm and confident, explain that you understand their concerns, and then provide information about your data sources. Proof can be provided too where required. Like I said, referencing your presentations, even with the links can help you address the concerns much faster.

When your data sources are questioned, it is important to stay calm, confident and professional and to foster a collaborative environment. Acknowledge your peers' concerns and explain the methodology you used to select your data sources, emphasizing their credibility. If possible, provide backup documents or references to support your data, showing your due diligence. Don't fall prey to hidden agenda or attempts to steer the narrative away from the topic of the presentation. Encourage questions and be open to discussing alternative sources later, if needed, in order to refocus on the presentation.
