1 Day Think On Your Feet Workshop
 Clear
speaking means clear thinking.
No matter how often you give talks or make presentations,
there's always room to improve your ability to analyse, organise and
present your ideas more persuasively. This communication skills
workshop teaches you how to organise your ideas better, get to the point
faster, be more convincing sooner... and be remembered longer.
It's your insurance against dying on your feet!
The 'Think On Your Feet' program is based on the very
simple idea that clear speaking is clear thinking.
Strangely, many people believe that clear, coherent
'straight' thinking demands some sort of genius. It doesn't. It demands,
instead, a basic understanding of structure. Clear thinking is really
about knowing a few basic 'recipes for reasoning'... logical, simple
plans that help you format your ideas in memorable ways.
From this exciting program presented by David Griggs
you can expect, techniques that will will save you time, improvement
in your ability to handle questions, communicate more clearly in meetings,
and prepare talks in ways that become more relevant to your listeners.
