In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions When It Counts
You’re standing in front of an audience…and you’ve just been asked the question you’d been dreading…or, worse, you’ve been blindsided with a brutal question you never expected. What to do? Jerry Weissman has made a career of preparing executives for that moment. He’s coached nearly 500 execs on their IPO roadshows, the most critical presentations of their lives. Now, he’s written an indispensable guide to answering the toughest questions you’ll ever face. Using compelling examples from presidential debates to stock analyst meetings, Weissman teaches you how to respond with perfect assurance. Discover how to avoid the defensive, evasive, or contentious answers that have destroyed political careers and can ruin your credibility. Learn to control your entire exchange with a hostile questioner: the question, answer, interactions with questioner and audience, timing, and above all, yourself. Whether you’re an executive, politician, fundraiser, interviewee, teacher, student…or even a family member at Thanksgiving dinner…you’re judged on how you handle these moments. Get this book: handle them brilliantly.

In the Line of Fire: An Interactive Guide to Handling Tough Questions
This interactive DVD is a companion to the book In the Line of Fire: How to Handle Tough Questions… When it Counts. The DVD contains illustrative video clips of tough Q&A sessions in the public arena and the lessons you can learn from them.
We’ve designed the DVD so that you can watch it straight through or visit… and revisit… the lessons chapter-by-chapter. To make the lessons more interactive, at several points in the DVD we’ll ask you a question, then pause and ask you to press the pause button on your DVD player or computer and think about the question. The answer appears when you press play again.
To focus on the video examples, we’ve condensed some of the lessons, but you can find all of them in the book, and in greater detail. For best results use the book and the DVD together, but either one will help you stand tall in the line of fire.
