IMPROMPTU: Avoiding panic and communicating with confidence, poise and clarity - off the cuff.

A 70 minute Webinar

Overview

Public speaking doesn’t always involve standing in front of a large audience with Powerpoint slides and a prepared and practiced script

Most of the speaking we do is unscripted, immediate and often even a bit raw - when your boss asks for your opinion in a heated meeting, being asked to give a toast at a family celebration, filling in for a late speaker, being interviewed by a reporter, introducing a new hire or being asked to say a few words at a colleague’s

retirement party.

A Sample of What You will Learn:

• Making an excellent first impression when being introduced in a group setting
  

• Proven mnemonic techniques for confidently speaking without notes

• Improvisation techniques used by actors to generate new ideas

• Tips for giving an impromptu speech when you have zero prep time

• Staying in control of your message, the one thing you must avoid

• Keeping your cool when responding to hard questions, emotionally sensitive

  situations or public criticism - tactics you need to know

• PRES, FAT and other impromptu template you need to know

• Overcoming nervousness and anxiety when speaking extemporaneously

Every manager, executive or administrative professional can benefit from this powerful webinar, personally conducted by Dr. Paul Douglas, author of Memory for Management.
