How do monologue presentations, guided discussions, and interactive presentations differ from one another?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

In a monologue presentation, the speaker talks without interruption and questions are held until the end of the presentation. In such presentations, the speaker functions as an expert. On the other hand, in a guided discussion, the speaker presents the questions or issues that both the speaker and the audience have agreed on in advance. Rather than functioning as an expert with all the answers, the speaker serves as a facilitator to help the audience tap its own knowledge. An interactive presentation, however, is a conversation, even if the speaker stands up in front of a group and uses charts and overheads. Most sales presentations are interactive presentations.
