COURSE PROFILE
|
The ability to Think on Your Feet® is a core skill. It involves getting your ideas across clearly, concisely, persuasively - and being remembered.
Everyone wants you to get to the point. We have all been lost for words in a tough situation, gone around in circles making our point, or worked out the perfect answer after the moment has passed!
The basis of Think on Your Feet® is that clear thinking is the secret to clear speaking. This workshop introduces 10 plans to structure ideas quickly and effectively for maximum impact. By incorporating both left and right brain thinking, we can be articulate and creative within the framework of a logical plan. This makes it easy to respond confidently in an impromptu situation or during a meeting, and to develop memorable presentations when there is time to prepare.
The Think on Your Feet® promise is ... Clarity … Brevity … Impact
Think on Your Feet® is an internationally accredited workshop which has gained worldwide recognition as an innovative and highly effective oral communications program.
