STRUCTURE

The secret to simplifying complex information when you speak, is being able to communicate with clarity, brevity and impact. Take a look at these two numbers:

Whether you want your ideas to be heard or to inspire a team to follow you, one thing is key: structure.

Both numbers are the same, but one can be read and understood in an instant - because it has a structure. (In this case it's a three-part structure).

Many people speak first and hope that structure will follow - but what they are doing is bombarding their listener with a lot of zeros and no commas. Very often the message is lost.

Think on Your Feet® teaches you how to put structure first. On this unique workshop you learn how to create a road map for what you're going to say BEFORE you speak. That way, both you and your listeners will reach the destination. You will say what you need to say without getting lost. More importantly, your listeners will get the message, loud and clear, without confusion.

THE (UGLY) TRUTH ABOUT WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION

The truth is that most organisations require their people to demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication. In today's workplace, communication is often seen as a 'soft skill'. Communication plays a vital role in you and your organisation's success and productivity. Ignoring it is at best risky and at worst career threatening.
