About the Program
How often do you fall short when trying to clearly, convincingly, and confidently get your message across “in the moment”—such as when someone asks you a question in a virtual meeting, during a phone call, or in any other online situation where you want and need to be at your most articulate? This session will teach you a set of little known—but profoundly effective—tools and tips to ensure that you always express yourself with clarity and composure; even when the last thing you were expecting was to be in the spotlight.
Objectives:
- Appreciate the importance of readiness and polish in online meetings, virtual events, and phone calls.
- Learn a strategy for responding concisely and confidently to questions in meeting and conversations.
- Gain experience and confidence speaking off the cuff.
