Think On Your Feet® is a practical, intensive workshop on how to speak spontaneously with clarity and impact. The workshop gives you simple and step-by-step methods to train your mind in structured communication.

Getting your ideas across to others is critical to success in most roles. Sometimes we do this in a formal presentation but the great majority of communication is informal, without preparation or aids: over the phone; via email, in meetings or even after formal presentations.
