Being up front in what you don't know --- This might not be appropriate in other cultures, nor appropriate in all setting. In Australian we sometimes use this approach in public speaking in emergencies with communities; - what we know - what we don't know - what we are doing - what we want you to do Sometime admitting to 'not knowing' can show you are being upfront and honest, rather than seeming like you are finding or avoiding telling people something.
