Improve Your Impromptu Speaking

We all know that leaders need to captivate audiences and
effectively convey their ideas. But not every speaking opportunity
can be prepared and practiced. That's why it's so important to
learn the skill of speaking off-the-cuff, and Matt Abrahams,
lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and host of
the podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart, has advice to help. He explains
how to stay calm in these situations, craft a compelling message,
and ensure you've made a good impression. Abrahams is author of the
book Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully
When You’re Put on the Spot as well as the HBR article “How to
Shine When You’re Put on the Spot.”
