Thinking and Speaking Off the Cuff - Public Speaking Excellence

The ability to think and speak on your feet is a tremendous asset to have in your social, business and daily life. Speaking off the cuff is often required for meetings, impromptu presentations, supervising staff, job interviews and when responding to questions from an audience. To successfully communicate your ideas in these situations you must be able to organise your thoughts quickly and present them in a clear and logical manner.

• Structure your response
• Use the rule of “Three”
• Get to the point
• Leave them with a memorable message
• Call on fail safe backup techniques
• Respond effectively at job interview
