| Think Faster, Talk Smarter | Spontaneous speaking is more common than planned speaking – introductions, feedback, toasts, small talk and Q & A. - to name a few spontaneous settings. And those moments can be more challenging than a scripted presentation. We have all had those moments when we freeze up, struggle to find the right words or walk away wishing for a do-over. Though a few of us have the gift of gab – most of us need to learn some tips and tricks to improve our impromptu speaking ability. This class will explore some of the best points of leverage for you to improve your speaking ability – such as how to tame anxiety, reframe priorities, structure spontaneity and sharpen your focus. Come prepared to engage and practice some of the tips and tricks that will be presented. Book by Matt Abrahams can be read before class but not required. Feel free to bring your lunch to class. | 1.5000000000 | false | false | false | true | false | false | false | $39.00 | $77.00 | false | In Class | ||||
