Listen and speak under pressure

People who can confidently listen and speak under pressure, solve problems faster, and are perceived as confident, as persuasive and as someone to trust.

You may be prepared to present a proposal or to ‘sell’ an idea, but unless you can speak accurately, fluently and flexibly, especially when under pressure, your message will be undermined.

This lively, hands-on workshop will move you along the path toward being a consummate, under-pressure speaker.
