One of the worst fears many of us have is speaking under pressure, being on the spot or being put on the hot seat. This seminar will develop techniques to organize ideas in pressure situations when no advance preparation time is available. The core of this workshop is in thinking strategies to guide our ability to analyze, organize, and present ideas.

This two-day workshop has been designed for those who are in positions where they must speak in front of audiences that are hostile or demanding. This material is also suitable for those who are relatively new speakers who want some encouragement to speak up in meetings or who want some training before they begin making presentations on behalf of the organization

This course is aimed at improving your skills and learning some new techniques which will give you the persuasive edge when you are making a presentation, fielding difficult questions or presenting complex information. The course includes several exercises where the participant will have to prepare and present speeches of varying length and with varying notice.
