INTRO: Speaking on Your Feet
It’s time to focus on speaking spontaneously. We do it all the time. In this module you will learn how to stay relaxed and “in the flow” when the spotlight is on. Let yourself get fully committed to the moment. It takes awareness and practice to become more spontaneous. Most of all, be aware, look around, and enjoy! There are three lessons:
Part A: Use Thoughts & Beliefs for Speaking Spontaneously
Part B: Breathing & Body Awareness
Part C: Theater Improv Exercises
Each Lesson contains Videos and Tips to introduce the topic, and Worksheets with Action Steps to help you practice.
One thing I’ve noticed in my years of working with CEO’s and other leaders is that most of them have a very good handle on thinking and speaking on their feet. Listening, receiving information, then responding immediately and decisively is their bread and butter. Oddly enough, my training as a performer has given me skills, approaches, and exercises that I can share to make them even better at this. I hope you find it useful to you in your personal and professional life.
Enjoy!
