Get your ideas across clearly - even when you have no time to think.

You've spent years sharpening your mind and honing your professional skills and knowledge. You're on top of your game. Then someone poses a question or asks you to present your thoughts and the worst happens – your mind goes blank!

Given time to think, you can put your ideas across clearly and coherently, without waffling or wandering off topic. But when you're put on the spot, you find it hard to order your thoughts and make your point.

In this intensive, fun and very practical workshop you'll learn how to manage any situation in which you are asked to think on your feet, whether facing one person or a room filled with people.
