Synopsis

When you are under pressure, can you communicate with clarity? In business, community affairs, at home...learn to think --and speak--on your feet, to respond appropriately and confidently every time. Using proven strategies, on-target tactics, and practical examples, this book will help you improve your end of any conversation. You'll discover how to answer impressively, even if you don't know the answer; polish your delivery so you can tackle tough questions head on; say, 'It's none of your business in socially acceptable terms; reply, 'I don't know' and still be convincing; develop good conversations even with difficult people. If you have ever been caught off guard in a meeting, stumped by a query in a sales call, suffered an embarrassing silence in a job interview, or thought of the perfect rejoinder--after the conversation, help is here in 'Thinking On Your Feet.' What you need to know is featured in a new Quick Guide. Job interviewing, gender communications, Q & A, and opportunities to say a few words are examined, with precise tactics and lively before-and-after examples.
