How is Think On Your Feet® Different?
How do we spend most of our time communicating? The amount of time we spend communicating prepared presentations in a formal setting to groups of people is tiny compared to the amount of time we spend in informal, impromptu one to one discussions. The diagram below shows this graphically - most of our time is spent on the left hand side.
Formal presentation skills are important. When we are making formal presentations we are in the spotlight. If that is a part of our job it is important to do it well. A good presentation skills course should cover the situations on the right effectively
The other aspects of communication are also important! The Think On Your Feet® programme helps enormously with formal presentations - responding to questions, handling objections - influencing and persuading. But it also helps with the rest of the spectrum of communication. This is also essential for most of us.
The Think On Your Feet® course introduces the “capsules of persuasion” concept; 10 plans that structure your ideas quickly for communication which delivers Clarity, Brevity and Impact.
This practical, intensive workshop will dramatically improve your oral communication skills, enabling you to get your point across clearly, concisely, persuasively and memorably.
Who is this course for? In short everyone who needs to communicate well. In the past year we have had Directors and Senior Executives, Managers & Team Leaders, Sales and Marketing Professionals, Technical Specialists & Professionals, Financial Analysts and Accountants, Public Affairs Spokespeople, Training Professionals - and many more - attend this course and be amazed at its effectiveness.
“The essence of leadership — what we do with 98 percent of our time — is communication. To master any management practice, we must start by bringing discipline to the domain in which we spend most of our time, the domain of words.”
